We first found this workout posted by Kristopher Barnes of Cover Six Strength @coversixstrength (Jackson, California, USA) on November 6, 2019, who wrote:

“Brian was a loving husband and father who touched everyone he encountered with his huge smile. Brian was a lifetime resident of El Dorado County and served two years at the Placerville Police Department followed by four years at the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office. Brian’s EDSO badge number was 1689.”

The “ISH” represents Brian’s 6 years of dedicated and professional service to the community he loved and 1,6,8,9 for his badge number.”
