Thanks, Mr. Jacques. You inspired me to become a writer.

I honestly didn't find out until now. I read Redwall when I was 9 and it was the first book that I ever finished completely. He taught me how to read. It feels as if I have lost apart of my childhood, and I am deeply saddened. I love his books and I will always read them until the day I pass on. Thank your Brian.

I became interested in the 'Redwall' series late in life--aged 12-- but I still read them to this day and I am almost 23. Those books have taught me to be strong and to believe in myself and Martin the Warrior will always be my favorite character. When I heard that Brian had died I sat in my room and cried, for I felt like a friend had died and that part my childhood had ended. My best friend and I used to make up games when we were younger... I had named myself Marigold the Warriormaid. :) RIP.

Breathtaking. Simply stunning. Brian, you were one of my favorite authors- No, I take that back. You WERE my favorite author. Thanks to the Redwall TV series, I'd been into Redwall since I was 4. Now I devour the books every spare second that I have, and am constantly writing fanfictions on the Redwall Wiki. When I found out you had died, I was shattered. I didn't eat, I just sat in my room crying into my pillow. I didn't believe it was all over. R.I.P Brian. You will ALWAYS remain my friend.

It was because of the Redwall series that my reading and writing levels throughout my school years were always above average. In a male dominated world, Brian's characters taught me that courage, determination, and a rabid thirst for knowledge is what would elevate me past my age and gender and into a realm where warriors,adventurers, and trailblazers reside. Thank you Mr. Jacques for giving girls like me females that aren't afraid to get their knees skinned and their dresses dirty.

It feels like I've lost an old, very dear friend. It isn't goodbye just yet...It's until we meet again, in Cavern Hole, here in our beloved Redwall Abbey. We'll meet again there some day, but I'll miss him until then.

God bless you, Brian.

It feels like a family member died. I grew up on Brian Jacques's books; everybody at school read them and we all loved them. God bless you and keep you Brian.

@BledaRassmar It DID sort of feel like a family member died. Because he was such a prominent figure in our imaginations, he made a piece of our everyday lives

[FantasyandJesus101]

He was an amazing author, he will truly be missed.

[jesusrocks246]

I will miss him a lot. He was truly the greatest author ever.
