It is with extreme sorrow that I announce to you, American Creation readers, that Pastor Brian Tubbs passed away earlier this month. Pastor Tubbs was a founding member of American Creation and was well known for being a passionate student of all things related to the American Revolution. Pastor Tubbs was particularly fond of defending the legacy of his hero, George Washington, as can be evidenced by the plethora of posts he made related to Washington's religious views, etc.
Brian Tubbs worked as the Pastor of Olney Baptist Church (Olney, MD) from 2005 until his passing. Prior to serving as Pastor of OBC, Brian was Pastor of Sligo Baptist Church in Ohio. Brian was married to his wife (Jane) since 1992 and together they had two children.
It goes without saying that Brian will be deeply missed by his AC family. Brian's love and passion for history were one of a kind, and his voice will never be replaced. I never actually met Brian in person, but he and I became friends 18 years ago, and for nearly two decades we engaged in numerous discussions related to history, religion and the founding legacy of the United States. There were few minds out there that were as sharp as Brian's mind. I did not hesitate to consult him on many questions related to my dissertation. Brian's voice was a trustworthy source. He knew his history. He knew Christianity (inside and out). But most importantly, he LIVED his Christianity. Brian's example is one that will last forever. I will not forget my "history buddy' and I am sure that is true for anyone who knew Brian.
Rest in peace, my friend, and thanks for everything!
