Briggs Pullin Death and Obituary – The Pittsylvania County community is in mourning following the tragic death of Briggs Pullin, a bright and joyful seven-year-old second-grader whose life was abruptly taken in a side-by-side accident on Moorefield Bridge Road. Family, friends, neighbors, and the broader community are grappling with the loss of a young child whose energy and warmth touched everyone around him.
On Sunday evening, Briggs was riding in a 2024 Can-Am Defender with a family member when the vehicle unexpectedly went out of control and flipped. Emergency responders arrived promptly, finding Briggs partially ejected from the vehicle. Despite rapid medical intervention, Briggs tragically succumbed to his injuries.

The sudden loss has left a deep void in the hearts of his family and community. Schools, neighbors, and local organizations have rallied around the Pullin family, offering support, prayers, and assistance during this time of grief. The accident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety and vigilance when operating off-road vehicles, particularly around children.
In honoring Briggs Pullin’s memory, the community is focused on celebrating his life rather than the tragedy of his passing. From his radiant smile to his laughter-filled days, Briggs’s spirit touched everyone he met. Memorials, tributes, and community vigils are planned as residents come together to support the Pullin family and remember the joy Briggs brought into their lives.
