Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Brother Dies

Inception star, Joseph Gordon-Levitt,  announced on Twitter Tuesday that his older brother “Burning Dan” has passed away.

“My super hero brother @burningdan 1974-2010. Celebrate his life here ~ http://bit.ly/dBTMQ8 because he’s f**ing awesome,” Joseph wrote.

Joseph wrote more on his multimedia website, where Dan was a partner:

BURNING dAN brightly embodied that bold beastly bliss sometimes referred to as “the creative spirit.” He was my chief collaborator on the foundational incarnations of hitRECord.org over the years and continues to inspire us ever the more. He would absolutely positively insist that we not let this bad news deter us on our collective mission. That said, I might not feel up to it for a little while.

Watching this community blossom into what it has become never ceased to amaze him and me. We would regularly marvel at it and high five. Thank you all for that. There he is now pouring heaping hollowed watermelons full of love over each and every one of us.

A cause of death has not been given for his brother, called ‘Burning Dan’ because he was a fire-spinning artist who performed at the Burning Man Festival.

Just in case you aren’t sure exactly what a ‘fire-spinning flow artist’ actually does..he’s a clip of Burning Dan performing.
