RIP - Brian Wilson

Brian Wilson, the founder and chief songwriter and producer for the Beach Boys, passed away on June 11, 2025, nine days before his 83rd birthday.
What can I say about him that isn't already known? 
 
He last appeared in the May 2024 documentary film "The Beach Boys". In addition to his Beach Boys work, he also released 12 solo albums between 1988 and 2021. 
 
I was fortunate enough to attend the Beach Boys' 50th Anniversary show in 2012, with my wife and adult son who are also huge Beach Boys fans. We had seen them two other times over the years. 
 
Only recently did I learn that the 1966 song "Caroline, No" was a Brian Wilson solo release and not a Beach Boys' record.
