Another good man has fallen

2004 has, in many ways, been the best and worst year of my life.
Yvsa, After this year, I will have sadness during the holidays too.
Butch dies October 4th
Jeff Died Dec 8th.
I guess I was lucky no one died before Thanskgiving.

But then, we lost Don Nelson and Pappy and many other people this year.

I need to come home and visit everyone before too long.
 
Danny,

I am sorry about your friend. One of the first thing I heard about the attack was that a heroic bouncer had lost his life while trying to stop the gunman. I am sure that his actions helped to saved a few people in the audience. We can all hope to do as well, its a shame that his time here was so short.

yep the nutter was an ex marine,so unfortunatly knew how to handle a weapon.
as you say danny you never know when its your time, sounds like your friend did a lot of livin though and had lots of friends,so his life must have been a worthwhile one. :)
 
Sorry for your(and everyone else's) loss. I bet he'd do it again knowing what the future held for him. Men like that don't come around every day. You are a better man for knowing him.
 
I've been told death is just transition, and no reason to fear, no reason to have much concern...and I understand that...

but there is nothing I've heard or believe that helps the pain when someone close walks west.

hang in there
 
Pain?
I dont have any pain yet. Im so f#@king angry right now, I don't know about pain.

The guy was an inch taller than me and probably in much better shape, but, dear God, if you had put me in a room with him for five minutes, bare handed even, they would need a garden hose to clean up afterwards.
 
Anger's ok, Danny. From what has been said, I am angry too. This is tragic.

Be strong, friend. At least the ba$tard didn't walk away.

Danny you were wondering how The Rouges must be feeling....they put a special tribute to a special guy on their site..."The definition of a Good Soul"...go to http://www.therogues.com/Mayhem/index.htm is even a picture tribute in the link in his Ren Faire character as Mayhem MacGregor for those curious to see the gentle giant. He is missed by all who knew him....and his smile will always be a beacon....he has left a legacy to many people and he is known around the world by many and all have good memories of this man. Throw the anger away...he wouldn't want that....he would probably pick you up and start one of his famous "tickle fights" if you don't! Miss him, grieve, laugh at the memories, then live life to the fullest....he would want it that way!
 
Yep, I can personally say...He was one of the Good Guys! Was...and still is...an inspiration to many!
 
I remember when he bought that gold wing with his profit share from his old job at a machine and tool company he had worked at.
Before the gold wing, which was huge, he drove this ancient green pickup truck with metal dashboards that exempted him and me from having to wear seatbelts.
I remember waking up one morning to hear a monstrous stream of hellish obscenities.
I looked outside in time to see a starter flying across the yard and Jeff yelling at his truck.
( there was some kind of arm inside the engine that the starter had to connect to and it was frustrating him badly)

How's that engine coming? I said.

We both started laughing.
 
I'm very sorry for your loss, Danny. Somehow it doesn't surprise me that you knew this guy. Like others, one of the first things I heard the story of the shooting came up on the news was that of Dimebag's bouncer throughing himself on top of his body in order to try and protect him. You friend had a courage that many of us could only dream of. Honestly, how many of us would actually throw ourselves into the onslaught of a firefight? How many of us would would not shrink away confused and scared? My guess is not very many. You are very lucky to have know him. Thank God that sociopath is dead. Thoughts and prayers for you and his family. Hang in there, friend.

HE was only really scared of one thing.
I guess I can tell the world now that it doesnt matter.

Vinegar.
The smell of vinegar brought him to the point of puking.

I love Louisiana sauce but I had to keep it far away from him when I was eating it.

tickle fights?
I am unaware of any tickle fighting. If you mean Mayhem tries to grab your balls while you try to defend them, then maybe!

(I didnt know that had a name.)

Wow, Shannon looked bad. I dont blame her, she and JEff were in love for a decade, maybe more.
I was in love with both of them.
I wish to hell I could call her but I cant get the number and calling from Japan is hard to do.

My mom has promised to scan some picks of me and jeff I will post one when I get them.

I fell crazy today, half crying and half cursing that stupid killing pr$ck.
Why couldnt he just shoot himself if he was so damned crazy, loser as$hole.

Damn. I cant believe jeff's really gone.
 
Danny,

I'm sorry for your loss, and sorry that most of us never got to meet him.

At least the perp took a round of Federal LE buckshot to the melon.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
