BillyVance 34 #8 August 19, 2011 I only met the Pangburns one time, but they were the nicest people I've ever jumped with. Brian is a top-notch crwdog and Pam was a crw videographer. Brian was nice enough to send me a DVD of how to pack a Lightning, and I sent it on to another aspiring crwdog somewhere in Florida. Hopefully he has continued the pay-it-forward mentality and someone else is benefitting from it. Brian, I am so sorry...

kkeenan 13 #13 August 29, 2011 A wonderful video, put together by Pam's friend, Eli, was shown at her memorial service this weekend. Seeing Pam in these photos makes me very sad that I'll not see her again on some DZ somewhere. She always brought such brightness to anyplace she was. Fly Free, Pam. Eli's video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJYGV27_auk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elightle 8 #14 August 29, 2011 Very nice (and moving) photo/video tribute. I didn't know Pam but send my sincerest condolences to a fellow skydiver. Prayers for her husband, Brian, are on the way as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zppara 0 #16 September 21, 2011 I am deeply shocked by this, I met Brian and Pam at the 2007 World record and after at other events, what a lovely couple there were. My heart goes out to Brian what a loss to both Brian and the CRW community. I hope Brian makes a full recovery. And may Pam rest in peace, god be with you x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
