Evans Brasfield, the Editor-In-Chief at Motorcycle.com and a well-liked and respected member of the powersports media community, died from injuries he sustained in an accident September 13. He was 61 years old.

The news was posted today on Facebook by his wife Karin.

“Dear friends and family, we wanted to let you know that we have suffered a great loss. Evans was in an accident yesterday and did not survive. He was our rock, our beloved, worlds’ best Dad and my life partner for over 30 years. His absence leaves a gaping hole in our hearts. We are honestly not sure how we will live without him. You may have questions; unfortunately, we have no answers at this point. We would appreciate your love and prayers at this time. If you’d like to help, our friends have setup a Meal Train (see comments for the link). Details about a service will be pending.”

In addition to his wife Karin, Brasfield is survived by daughters Minna and Georgia.

We will provide more information as it becomes available.
