I'm not sure if you guys have seen it on social media, but Brian Barnes (well-known as being the voice of Washougal), suffered a stroke a while back. He's on the mend, and his son, Broc, has set up a GoFundMe account for his dad to help with expenses while he's unable to work.

If you're in a position to help, check here.

Oh no! Met Brian at Washougal and always see him at Hangtown and Oakland, ridiculously nice guy. Love his "good morning" at 'shoug and the vintage stuff they do and his announcing at Hangtown. He always takes care of folks. Will definitely have to donate.

He is such a great man with a great family behind him. I can't afford a lot but I gave what I could.

I know my money is going to a just cause because he is such an awesome person. I'm more than glad to skip a movie this month.

It hurts me to see him in that hospital bed like that.

My dad used to be great friends with Bruce, and I remember going over to Brian's house and viewing his amazing collection of jerseys.

This had to have been in the late 90s, and I was just a little kid. I remember being so awestruck at all the famous names on his jerseys.

Besides the familiar sound of his voice, that is always what I think about when I think of Brian.

This guy deserves every bit of support he gets, the man has dedicated his life to moto in the Northwest.
