Lara Miller, who usually does PR work for CardPlayer, is handling all media requests for the Brunson family. She's asked that I post the following statements from Doyle and Todd on her behalf:
Doyle:
“I have lost one of my oldest and dearest friends today. He was one of the most unique individuals I have ever known and Poker has lost one of the greats today.”
Todd:
“I have lost a mentor and friend today. He was like a family member to me.”
The Brunson family requests that they be allowed to grieve the passing of their dear friend. Funeral arrangement and donation information will be released along with an official statement in the next couple of days.
If anyone browsing these boards is looking to get in touch with the Brunsons regarding this matter, they request that you do so through Lara. She can be reached at
