The Memorial . . .

      BJ Brown died in an auto accident in August of 2006 following graduation from the Construction Academy and Bothell High School.

       He was an amazing athlete and enjoyed skiing, snowboarding, hiking, climbing, wakeboarding, surfing, bicycling and hunting. His many accomplishments include completing RAMROD (a 150-mile around Mt. Rainier in one day) at the age of 17 and summiting all five mountains in Washington -- including Mt. Rainier -- at the age of 14.

     BJ excelled in school and graduated in the top 5 per cent of the 2006 Bothell graduates. He especially loved the subjects of math and science and those courses became more relevant when he entered the Construction Academy in his senior year. It was in this program that BJ found his real passion doing an internship with GLY Construction in the spring of his senior year. He aspired for a career in construction management and spent the summer after graduation working as a laborer for GLY Construction in Seattle. BJ had a work ethic that was unprecedented -- he did perfect work and completed every project that he set out to accomplish.

     In addition to his many accomplishments, BJ was kind, generous and respectful to people of all ages. He touched everyone whom he came to know and he will not be forgotten.
