Sad news. This is coastie's son posting.

Recommended Posts

Hello Troy.

I haven't had much to say in this thread other than posting a few songs and pictures. It's the way I've delt with a loss in the past, and that loss was why I posted them. My best friend Craig took his own life shortly after coming back from Afghanistan. About the same time I joined this board and your dad for all the right reasons reminded me of my friend Craig when he posted. Polite but willing to stand his ground. Funny but not too over the top. In ways I got soo much from your dad's posts that he never knew. If you care, those were some of my friend's favorite songs. Tantra by Journey was the one shown at his memorial. He loved them. And I loved him.

One thing this has taught me as you point out is to cherish the ones you love and never take the time you have for granted. And it's not just those that are older than you (I mean me when I say that) It's the one's around you. I cried typing this.

For your dad and my best friend.

Troy,

I read your post and thought I should do the same with my family , I did not respond quick enough.. Our 25 year old only son that was going to graduate on 12/07 from the University of Nevada and a hard core Wolf Pack fan like us passed away early Monday morning. I understand the void and pain now in your life and would not wish that on anyone, For my wife and I we can't go back to the games and tailgating this year because our happy place is gone. I'm not trying to highjack this thread but if I can't share it here with you message board guys as a bit of distraction and blow off some emotion I'm lost.Again I'm sorry for putting this in this thread.i don't wish to offend anyone.

I'm sorry for your loss. That's such sad news. If there's anything I can do for you please let me know.

Troy-

It's been quite a while since I've even perused the board (I used to be a regular). I just now saw your post and I'm sure like most of the others when they first read it, I'm quite shocked and saddened. Most of us who've been around awhile have sparred here and there with your dad, but it was almost always good natured fun with him (except with the Boise trolls pre-MWC admission.....he had very little patience with them and let them know it in no uncertain terms. He and Natty were pretty good like that :D ).

Your dad was one of the few regular AFA posters, and he almost always had something intelligent, interesting, and worth reading to say. He was truly a valued member of this little community here, and he will be sorely missed. My belated condolences to you and your family for your loss.

I too have been away for some time, and I am very sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are for you and your family and he will be greatly missed.....

I bookmarked the thread so we can keep it bumped if it's not repinned.
