At the completion of his education in Cleveland, Brian accepted employment with Osage Oil. At the age of 17, Brian was involved in a motorcycle accident in August of 1985. Brian sustained crippling injuries leaving him a paraplegic. Following his recovery in Oklahoma City, Brian demanded to be returned home. He felt that he could get better treatment and more mobility at home. Brian loved fishing, camping and being outdoors. He also enjoyed getting together with his family as well as a dedicated friend. Brian would often remodel his home; only to finish the project and then start all over again. He loved to play Santa Clause for the kids and loved going to birthday parties. Mr. Othoudt was very patriotic often donating to local charities. He would religiously send in his Publisherís Clearing House in hope of the chance of them knocking on his front door. If you told Brian that he could not do something he would often prove you wrong and prove to you that he could. He also had a prayer table in his home that he was very particular about. If you touched it you had better make certain that you put what ever you moved back exactly where it was previously.
