Jeff (Gunner1X) was a friend of mine for the last 20 years. He was more than just a shooting buddy or competition partner, he was my covenant brother. I knew I could always count on him no matter what I needed or when I needed it. I will miss our long talks and fun fellowship. I will really miss just knowing you are there. My heart is broke, not just for my loss, but the thought of what his kids must be feeling is just devastating. Don't know if I'm even making sense right now, I just really miss my friend and I'm hurting for his family. He quit posting here a couple of years ago. Had a bought with cancer and beat it. But it came back a couple of months ago and he went fast. I'm glad he is no longer suffering. And knowing he was a believer I'm comforted knowing I'll see him again some day. But this still sucks. This was his last avatar: Attached File I was kinda searching for his last post here and came across this post. I know it wasn't his last, but it was the post I was supposed to find. It was like he was ministering to me: Attached File Goodbye my friend I already really miss you. (Jeff in the middle) Attached File Edited to add: Sorry, didn't think about pic time line. Pic is 10+ years old. I've added a lot of silver highlights to my hair since. I just always loved the pic, even though I don't have a good copy of it. Jeff was (I think) 56, his youngest son is in college now. His daughter just graduated college and is getting married in June. One of his last requests of me was to pray he could make it long enough to walk her down the isle. Dang that messes me up. He really was one of the good ones! Another pic of my dear friend: Attached File I started reading all our text exchanges since 09. I only made it a handful of years. Some friendships are just not replaceable in this life. I really really do appreciate the prayers and kind thoughts - especially towards his family. Last edit: Thank you everyone for the kind words. I went to Jeff's funeral yesterday, it was sad, but well attended. The family is still pretty devastated, but honestly doing pretty well, considering... I miss my friend, but absolutely do cherish the time and memories. Attached File I'll see ya soon brother! |

Man, I'm so sorry.
I remember his posts well. I always "liked" what he said. Nothing says how good of a guy he was than your testimony about him and y'alls friendship. Again. I'm so sorry for your loss.
