You are hereRIP Brendan Kutler
RIP Brendan Kutler
Hello all. I am deeply saddened to bring this news to you, but I thought that you, his friends and fans, should know. Earlier this morning Brendan Kutler, our Mlarg, passed away in his sleep. Funeral preparations are being made, and I welcome any of you who would like additional information on them to contact me directly. For those of you who did not know him personally, I hope you will take a moment to pay your respects to this incredibly talented and amazing young man.
In his short time on this planet, he contributed far more and touched many more lives than most of us could ever hope to. He will always be remembered for his boundless enthusiasm, hard work, and caring heart.
I hope you find new adventures wherever you may be Brendan, you will be missed.
We are all still in shock. Words don't do justice to losing such a special person, son and companion at 17. 8th-Circuit was one of Brendan's true loves. Music was his passion and sharing it with the world was his mission. He would do research for this site to the detriment of just about everything. Thank you for keeping alive his memory.
My best wishes go out to his family. Brendan was such an amazing part of this website, and I know his memory will be carried on through the friends he left behind.
Please tell me this is a joke. I didn't know him well by any means, but it is hard to be a contributor to this site and not know of him. I'm shocked and saddened, and it is safe to say we have lost a great Ed, contributor, and friend.
We will always miss you, but I know you're somewhere better now.
Brendan, I may never have met you, but your enthusiasm and passion shone through every week in your writing and podcast. You will be missed, RIP
I can't say I am a very frequent reader of this site, but I made an effort to check out his column every week. His love of music and great sense of humor and wit always made me smile.

Hey Man, I wasn't around this site much, but when I did stop by, I ALWAYS made sure to check out the music section. I will SINCERELY miss your blogs, but I know you are in a better place now
I can't even fathom what they must be going through right now and i hope they find peace in the fact that although I did not know him personally, through this site and his obvious other endeavors, Brendan has definitely touched many people's lives and was a powerful presence on this site and no doubt everywhere in his life.
I only ever knew Brendan through the 8th, so obviously I never knew much about him or his personal life. But he always seemed to exude a kind of humor and life through his countless posts and witty observations. He was very hardworking, dedicated not just to the site, but to us. I only knew him through this site, but that was enough to make me appreciate him. RIP
Brendan is not only an amazing writer, he was an awesome human being. There are no words to describe what an incredible, talented, and passionate person he is. God bless total critical cleaning package online order ultra mask one hour cleansing formula mandarin-orange flavor
Despite never knowing Brendan personally, I have known about this site. I must say that I didn't even know he was lost at 17, which certainly must be depressing for the parents. I've only known such few people who've lost there children this early and were completely devastated, so I can't imagine how Brendan's parents feel. This story really has touched me and he sounds like he was a great man who touched many lives. Wish I could have talk with him.
I don't want to make anything more depressing out of this than it already is, but he shall be remembered and is hopefully in a better place now.
I feel like I am in the worst nightmare ever. I have lost an amazing friend today. Brendan had been like a brother to me. To lose him now, so young, rips my heart open. I am reduced to a weeping man, whose world feels like it has come to a stop. Like many of you mentioned, I can't even imagine how his Father, Mother, Sister and rest of family must feel if I am this distraught. Brendan is everything you guys have pointed out and more and it brings a small smile to my face seeing your posts and looking and Brendan's art on deviantART. He had an incredible heart. He showed so much love towards everyone he surrounded himself with. Never did I hear him utter anything bad about someone else. He always could see the positive. I learned just as much from him as I hope he learned from me. He made me smile for five years now, watching him develop into an great tennis player, but even more an outstanding young man whom I am proud to have known. He will always been in my heart. Thank you for putting this post up Genki. I love you Brendan!
It is a tragedy that someone with so much potential has been taken so early. His life and memory will be celebrated by all those who love him. <3
In his short time he touched so many people and changed so many lives for the better. Far more than a great writer, Brendan was a great person. I know he's in a better place
how did this happen?
As you may or may not know brendan was how i found and started writing for the 8th circuit. He's first a friend and a classmate of mine, and i scarcely think that the world will be the same without him. A first rate genius and a bright star who burned too brightly and for too short.
Requiescat in pace
I know I've only exchanged a handful of words with him, but Brendan always came off as an awesome person. I always enjoyed his articles and contributions to the podcast. I only wish I could've know Brendan better. Will be missing you man.
I never knew Brendan personally, but through his writing on the website and conversations with him in the podcasts, I always felt as if I had a grasp on what an amazing person he truly was, and I always considered him a friend. I must admit that I was greatly looking forward to the day that I was finally able to meet him in person, and I feel robbed knowing that this day will never come. I only wish that I had taken more time to get to know him better, and my condolences and support go out to his family. I am still in a state of shock.
It really hit me hard the last line of this article, about finding new adventures. of all the things i've heard said about Brendan by my classmates and everyone i know it's really been the most powerful. Thank you, Ryan, for putting this on the site, and for putting it so truthfully and powerfully. I know that if he is anywhere he is adventuring.
My thoughts are with his family, this is just so unbelievable and very very sad. A great loss to his friends, family and us here at the 8th.
Brenden you will be missed. Your HSD family will miss you just as all your friends do. Stay the cool dude you are in the afterlife for me
i would like to apologize. When i originally wrote this i thought that this was all an elaborate hoax. At HSD Brendan was one of my best friends and still is. He was so smart and the epitomy of cool. He will be missed very much and he is in my prayers as well as the prayers of everyone i know. He was a great kid, one of the nicest i will ever meet. I hope we can still have adventures the way Brendan taught us
Brendan was one of the finest young men I have ever met. Smart, funny, talented and just about the most decent, kind person you could ever hope to encounter. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jon, Sara and the rest of the Kutler family. We will miss him deeply every day.
I didn't know Brendan personally, but I know people who did, and all of them share the same feelings toward him: deep respect. It's sad to see a young, talented, caring 17-year-old to leave the world. You have to ask "Why" or "How" when someone this young dies. His life was filled with joy, and I hope I'm correct in saying that he lived a great life, as short-lived as it was.
I can only wish his family the best, and hope their grievances can be calmed, even a little, in knowing that their son was loved and cared for by many.
Good luck to his family, and best wishes to everyone that knew Brendan, and everyone whose heart Brendan touched.
RIP Brendan.
And even though I don't visit this site often, he seemed like a well-respected member of this site.
It is incredible the number of lives he's touched in his shot time on this site. Even though he is gone, his memory will be carried on by those who love him
In my short time here, I've barely gotten to know any of the staff, which includes Brendan. Regardless of knowing him or not, this is a huge loss for two families. Us here at the Circuit, and his actual family, to whom my sympathies are with.
Rest in piece, Brendan. And to the year 2009, screw you.
Although I rarely visit this site, I've read quite a few of Brendan's articles, and it is shocking to see him go so soon. My best wishes are with his parents and loved ones.
I am so shocked to hear this news.. Brendan was one of my favorite writers on the site and also a good friend of mine. I was looking forward to watching him play tennis this year. Brendan, you will be remembered as a great person and an amazing soul who loved to share his passion for music with the world. Rest in Peace my friend.
Dear Kutlers,
The news was as devastating as shocking. He was a beutiful charming, intellegent and amazingly talented young man. The world will miss out on many clever creations with Brendan being called home early. Kutler clan our families thoughts and prayers are with you in this tragedy.
Vaughn
