My brother Michael, who was a member of the Buck Collectors Club (member #1072) died last Sunday. He left a wife and three young sons, ages 5, 2 and 7 months. Michael was only 35.

He really liked knives, especially Bucks, but he did not own very many as he preferred to spend his money on his family. Since he liked Bucks so much I bought him a membership in the Buck Collectors Club last year. I also bought him a membership in the Case Collectors Club but he only renewed his BCCI membership. He intended to eventually upgrade to life membership.

The few Buck knives he owned were nothing really special but he did have good taste. He owned a Rush, a mini-Buck, a 503, a 110 that his wife bought him for his birthday June of this year and a 119 that I bought for him for his birthday. He had been wanting a 119 and was seriously considering buying one at Wal-Mart but he wanted a leather sheath. I ordered one for him to make sure he got the leather sheath.

We were intending to go to the Blade Show next year. Neither one of us have ever been to it. I may still go but I really wanted to go with my brother. You folks that will be there next year will miss meeting a great person with a fantastic sense of humor. Michael was very well known and very well liked. He would do anything for people. His funeral was standing room only. The preacher cried during the eulogy.

I miss him. He was also my best friend.

James,
I am saddened to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers will be with you, Michael's widow and their children. I do hope you come to the Blade Show next year. We would welcome meeting you personally. May God pour out his grace and mercy on your family during this time of grief.
 
My thoughts and meditations are with you and your family, losing a loved one, especially at such a young age, carries a heavy heartache to it.
 
I know there are no words to ease your suffering. Just know that you and his family are in our thoughts and prayers. I also would be very proud to meet you at the Blade Show next year to hear about your brother.

So very sorry to hear of your tragic loss. I sincerely hope that, in time, most of the grief will fade and be replaced with happy memories.
 
Much saddened to hear of your loss...Michael sounds like someone I would have enjoyed knowing... :(
 
James,
Please accept my sincerest condolences. I have two brothers and can only imagine the level of your grief. Please take comfort in the fact that Michael's children still have an uncle to turn to as they grow up. You and your family are in our prayers.

Words are not a proper vehicle of expression to express my sadness in reading your post. Know that prayers are inbound for you and your family, and may God comfort you all during this time of sorrow. My deepest sympathies sir, and may God hold you in the palm of his hand and somehow ease your grief....Jim
