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.

Thank you for creating this awesome site where gun enthusiasts, and nuts, can share our thoughts, ideas and experiences with each other.

Hope to see you at Gods Rifle Range.

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.

I woke up this morning at 4am thinking of the drives we never got to take in the Arizona mountains. We miss you Edward.

Thinking of you today Edward, and everyone that misses you.

God Bless the Avila's today as they celebrate a Father's Day without a Son, Father, and friend.

Decided to move the topic to the memorial forum.

I tried to update subs and tracker info to make it easier on everyone who was watching this thread.

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 is doing better Edward. Thank you.

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

For those that didn't follow that thread...

Over 450 members came together to raise 44,000.00 for a family.

They still check in daily to see how that little girl is doing.

Family.

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.
