He posted he had cancer.  How's he doing?

Sent him a PM a few weeks back, no reply.

His prognosis was not very good. He did not think he would make it much longer. His last post was 12/12

I have also IMed him weeks ago with no response.

I hope he is comfortable wherever he may be!

I kind of got the vibe he knew something was up with his health the whole time.

At least he went out with a last adventure.

The original thread is bumped back up to the top to make sure it doesn't get archived.   I've emailed and messaged him, with no Escobar in the last two weeks.  Had anyone talked to him offline?  I may have a contact  up in that area and will see if they've had any "calls". I gotta find his actual first and last name.

Using the information he posted in his thread I was able to locate his parcel in Apache county

His personal information is on the county website if you want to try to contact him

PM me for the parcel number

Looks like the county is going to do a field check soon on a pulled permit

2018: REQUESTING A FIELD CHECK DUE TO OWNER DOES NOT OWN A MH AND GOOGLE EARTH ONLY SHOWS A VACANT LAND. OWNER DOES NOT OWN ANY OTHER PARCELS. I SHOW HE OWNS A LICENSED TRAVEL TRAILER. 2015 HEDEO TV, VIN# 4 LICENSE PLATE #4. NEED TO SEE IF HE IS LIVING ON THE PARCEL. WORKED ON 12/28/2017. ORM

Might be headed up that way on the 20th. If no word by then and someone knows where it’s at, I’ll drop in.

Note that the name of his parcel is likely entered incorrectly. He's a ham operator and it looks like a
transposition of the name used on his multiple ham licenses.

I haven't been able to turn up any news on either name.

If you have a name and an address, and you feel like you could in good faith say he’s a friend, you could call the Apache County SO and ask them to do a welfare check.

Sure hope he is doing ok. I enjoyed his posts

Sent him a FB message. Can’t see his friends list, because he’s got better online OPSEC than I’d expect for his age.

Well he's not your average old man, he's a retired LEO.

I made a few calls and we're going to have a Deputy try to locate the property on Saturday morning.  There weren't any calls for service that County could locate, but I'm not sure if they track EMS calls or not.   I'll update the thread as soon as I hear back from ASO.

I’m headed to Show Low in the morning and plan on swinging by once my business is completed, which shouldn’t take long. I know the exact location of the property (lat / long) now, so if you want to pass my cell phone number along to the Deputy then I’d appreciate it.

@Phoenix13 I got a new cell,  PM me your number, or text me if you still have mine.  I'll relay it.

OK fellas, I am up here now. I spent about 20 minutes speaking to John’s brother and sister, who are here for his final days. I am sad to report that our brother is expected to pass within the next week, but am happy that he is at peace with that and that he is as pain free as possible.

More info to follow when I get back to the valley.

He can't hook us into his new adventure in life like over the last year and then leave us.  Tell him he is not allowed to go yet.

I got know John whn he lived in the midwest

good man

sold him some ham radio gear, 3 different times,  and saw him at hamfests

he was always great to do business with. ARFCOM hams are the best

he invited me and my family to his land, with a stocked lake and plenty of room to shoot rifles. unfortunately I was always busy working

If you talk to him, please tell him he is in our thoughts and
prayers

My wife's cancer returned and she is fighting like a tiger. soon to be done with chemo....so yes....FUCK CANCER

God Bless

If you have a chance, provide them a link to his thread.  I bet it would be something they would really value reading.

Well, damn.  I had been following his thread, then got busy and hadn't checked for months.  And see this.  

Good to hear he has family with him.

Prayers out for him, his family, and friends.

Started keeping track of the original thread months ago.  Waited for the next installment to arrive.  A good man with a peaceful vision. Then the ball dropped.

God Bless You, John.
