Mr. Bryan Axelrood 1954-2013

[Diane Allen]

I am so very sad to announce the passing of my husband Bryan Axelrood. He was a true car afficionado and proud owner of two Ford GT's that he doted on and loved dearly. Even though he rarely drove either he was a fixture for over 20 years at the Historic car races and Pebble Beach events. He hosted the Ford GT guys here at our home annually for GT Ford maintenance and enjoyed meeting the other GT owners in the Los Angeles area. He was proud to Host Carmelo Pardo at our home and enjoyed being a part of the Ford GT community as well at the Forum. He will be missed. with love, Diane

Your first post must have been very difficult but we are all grateful for letting us know.

Sounds like Bryan was not only a great car guy but he obviously had a loving caring wife.

Sending the kindest thoughts and deepest condolences your way.

Diane, I met your husband for the first time last year during a GT dealio. He opened up his home and his loves while regaling us with stories of you and your family.

I knew then he was a truly lucky man.

Thank you for thinking of us. We are truly blessed. Peace be with you and yours.

Very sad news. Glad that he got to enjoy what he loved while he was here on Earth. Hopefully he and Bony are in the heavens, talking about GTs and drinking a Makers Mark Manhattan

Diane, I am very sorry for your loss. You know much better than I what a great individual Bryan was. I enjoyed chatting with him on numerous occasions. We had a good time joking around as he was a self-admitted fence-sitter when it came to modding the GTs but we had several good discussions and laughs each time we spoke. He was very kind, articulate, and knowledgeable - and REALLY loved the cars. May God bless you and your family. We will all miss him.

Diane, I had the pleasure of meeting you and Bryan a few years back when I brought my GT over for service when Dennis and Rich came into town. I'm so very saddened to hear of Bryan's passing.
May you and your family feel the Lord's strength and love as you move forward in your lives.
I know that no other GT owner packed so much enjoyment into each mile driven in those GTs.
God bless.
Kevin

Diane and family,

Please accept our condolences. I am very sorry to hear of Bryan's passing. As you said, he did not drive them much, rather he enjoyed being an owner of this rare
piece of history. He was always a pleasure to work with and I always enjoyed my phone calls with him. Just sorry we never got to meet.
