GCRC is saddened to hear about the passing of Commissioner Nolden. We offer his family our condolences.

The Flint community has lost one of our most steadfast advocates today. Bryant “BB” Nolden embodied community service. His journey from educator to public servant to non-profit leader impacted thousands of people throughout our community; most importantly, our youth. While his absence will be deeply felt across Flint, we will not forget the passion and spirit that he shared with us.

The flags at Flint City Hall will be lowered to half-staff for the remainder of this week in BB's honor.
