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.
