Rest In Peace our dear friend.... - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

The first time I’ve met Bret Buzz Dawson was at a South Bay car meet located in Mercado Plaza Santa Clara California almost about a year and a half ago. We ended up sitting together for dinner and right away I knew that Buzz would forever be a long time friend of mine. We ended up chatting about careers, physics and most important of all, our cars. Right there in that moment time I knew that Buzz would end up one of the most intelligent friend that I’ve met in the Ft86 club. I was really impressed upon his credentials and the vast amount of information that he knew. As days, weeks, months past we would see each other at the South Bay car meets, events, drives and have a blast. We would also hangout outside of the Ft86 scene and became really good friends and to other members of the Ft86 club as well. He led 2 of the coolest best “BIGGEST” South Bay caravans heading towards the official Summer car meets. Buzz would always be remembered and would be never forgotten. May you Rest In Peace your friend - Rollan

Condolences to the family.

Such tragic news. My sincerest condolence to his wife and family.

sdlynx · 08-08-2014, 12:45 PM

I had the honor to have met Buzz once. He was certainly as all have described him, so it is very sad to hear this. My heart goes out to the family and to all of you who knew him much better than I.

_Se7en_ · 08-08-2014, 12:46 PM

I am in shock.

I've haven't been to many of the south bay meets, but the ones I went to he was there. He was always energetic and willing to share his knowledge. The big thing that I saw was he was open and friendly to everyone. I still can't believe he's gone.

My condolences to his wife and family.

wow I cannot believe I just read what I've read. Even though I've only met Buzz a handful of times, it was easily known he was an amazing guy. He was one of the first ones I met at my first meet at Smoke Eaters by Great America. May you forever rest in paradise Buzz. I truely hope I can make the drive In his honor.

NorCal_Guy · 08-08-2014, 04:21 PM

WOW! Im just now hearing of this, my condolences go out to his entire family.
R.I.P BUZZ!

Losing someone you care about is never easy. It always leaves you with regrets, longing for more time, and trying to figure out your own feelings. In the end though you're left with the good memories. The good times. The smiles and the laughs. You brought out the childlike wonderment and excitement in me, and I feel like all of us in the community brought the same out in you when we were all together. I didn't get enough time just talking to you, and learning from you. You will be missed Buzz. You will be missed more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for touching all of our lives so positively.

My condolences to his family. I remember the first time we met was at five guys on one of the midweek meets.

Rest in peace.

BRZgirl · 08-08-2014, 07:23 PM

Rest in Peace. Met Buzz only once or twice at a meet. Can't believe this just happened. You will be missed!
