Brian Unangst, sportscaster for Blue Ridge Cable Channel 13, died Sunday of complications from COVID-19.

Unangst, of Klecknersville, was 50. He leaves behind a wife and four daughters.

He was a member of the Wolfpack Search & Recovery. He was a first responder/volunteer for Wolfpack SAR for the last six years, and during that time served as a board president, Captain, and K9 handler with his K9 partner Bogie.

Unangst was also part of the Christian Motorcycle association and a sports anchor/reporter for BRC13 since 1991.

His friends have set up a gofundme account at https://gofund.me/bef4f465 to help with expenses.

“Brian’s passion was helping others, so please help us honor him and his memory, by helping to give back to a man who dedicated his life to helping others in need. Brian, you will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing you.”
