I just found out that Brian Jacques passed away and the tears won't stop flowing.  What an amazing man he was.  I just wanted to thank him for making me smile time and time again.  He will be missed and never EVER forgotten!  I love you Mr. Jacques!!!  RIP kind Sir.   Eulalia!

I agree. Brian Jacques WILL NEVER be forgotten in the hearts of all those who have read his books. I have never heard anyone say that they did not like the book after reading one. Brian Jacques will be remembered by the people who love him as a person, or even just an author. I know I will never forget about him, nor will the children who have heard him reading his books or any one of us on this forum. I only wish that he could be still alive and kickin' so he would be able to write another book, and touch more peoples lives.

Well, now it's up to us to continue the Redwall legacy and never let it be forgotten.  We can be the ones to persuade others to read Redwall, and their lives can be touched even though Jacques is dead.

He will never be forgotten as long as this Forum lives!

I just found out he passed away about a week ago and I'm still quite sad....but for sure he will be remembered! I'm so glad this forum exists so all Redwall fans can remember him and his stories together. :)  Eulaliaaaaaa!!!!

I didn't know about his books untill 2011, if I would have known, I could have met him. Anyway, his work is awesome and will stay with me for a long time.

/\ Pretty much the same for me.
Really? Cool, I thought I was the only member on here to have only discovered them in that year.
