Details are just coming in, but BOWLING HOOD has just learned that Brian Kjergaard has died today of an apparent heart attack in Waterloo, Ia.
Mr. Kjergaard was 33 and leaves behind a wife and two children.
He was quickly becoming one of the top players in the PBA Midwest Region, currently ranking third in points behind Tom Hess and Sean Swanson, a 2007 regional points champion. Mr. Kjergaard earlier this year won the PBA regional tournament at Bowl-A-Vard Lanes in Madison, Wi.
Last year at the USBC Open Championship in Albuquerque, Mr. Kjergaard bowled a 13-year career high 2,147 in All Events, placing 6th and shot 746 in singles to place 48th among the nearly 75,000 entries and ended up winning $4,300.
After living for many years in Fulton, Il. he recently relocated to Waterloo to become manager at Cadillac Lanes.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
