Buddy, thanks for your support during our mutual battle. I'm sorry you didn't come out the other end with me. As of 3/9/21 I'm two years free of the devil that tormented us both. Fuck Cancer my friend. Love you.

RIP Mr. Edward Avila

I came here in 2010 not knowing anything about the AR platform. I was lost, confused, didn't know what I wanted.

I have learned alot in the years that would follow and I am still learning. And it's not just about the AR platform, it's everything this platform offers members.

I laugh often when I am here and sometimes brought to tears.

Thank you for starting this site and God bless.

The first person I knew that died was my mother’s father at around age 15.

I’m still young but death is always tragic. I’m sorry for your loss.

Edward, a dear friend learned today they may have cancer. I would ask you to spare a few moments and look down and comfort her, encourage her, and stand ready to help her should she need it.

K and I miss you.

She lost her battle Edward. Please look after her. Fair warning, she is a handful. She is also the best of us.

RIP.

I don't recall ever posting anything publicly about Ed's passing, so I would like to take a second to simply say THANK YOU to Ed, Juan, Ed Sr. and the rest of the Avila family.
I haven't been around much as of late, but I still recall everything Ed (& GB) did to take a relatively primitive e-mail list and expand it to the largest firearms and freedom related site on the entire interwebs.

Someone should take the time to create an entire ARFCOM history / timeline.
It is quite the impressive tale and a story of tremendous accomplishment.  
(so.... is the infamous author McUzi still around to handle this task?)

I could write on for hours.  
And...  I am quite confident that I am not the only one.

Condolences to the Entire Avila Family from my Family.
