Shoot we lost a good ARFCOMMER Bonk2029 (Page 2 of 2)
RIP brother. |

Damn!!
He and I chatted via email and IM regularly for a while when I was active in the HTF and the shooting sports. Good man, big loss. |

He made a point to reach out to me during a very low point I had a few years ago. A good man.
We are diminished. |

He was an amazing person that will be missed by many. We met through ARFCOM and quickly became good friends. In the short time (~12 years) we knew each other we shared a few meals, celebrated a few holidays together, and many war stories along the way. A fellow member here contacted me a couple weeks ago to say that hospice had been called in. I did not get a chance to visit in time. I did not get to say goodbye to a man I highly respected. For that I am deeply regretful. RIP Brother |

Oh no! No wonder he hadn't responded to any recent emails. This is terrible. 
I first met Erik online via Glock Talk. Back in 2004 he invited me and another state constable to an IDPA-style law enforcement match at the Roanoke PD's hilltop range facility. Great guy. Had a major fun weekend. We didn't communicate much after he re-joined the military but I was in touch with him about 6 months ago and he told me about his cancer being in remission...and that he was going to embark on another career path. Damn, I am so sorry to hear of this.
