Ha! I never got to meet him in person, and though we had our differences and colorful arguments, I still respected the guy and would have helped him out on the water if it ever came to that. We're all bonded by this fishing thing that we do, and any time we lose one of our own, it definitely makes you take a few steps back and reflect on what's really important in life.
I will always think of him during March Madness, as he's the only guy I ever heard call my bracket "a dead money bracket." The banter was always fun, I think he even had a separate screen name during March just for it, "Netboy Extraordinaire." It's evident from the posts here that he was just as passionate about his friends and family as he was about his fishing and basketball team. For those who were close to him and knew him well, I am sorry for your loss.
May he rest in peace, and may his family and friends find comfort in the days ahead.
