He was a man, taken for all and all, and we shall not see his like again

Man, my heart sunk when I saw this thread. Godspeed Snake45!

R.I.P. to one of the unique characters that really made this the best forum around. He was always one to participate in any discussion, often with a interesting view.

 

[outlaw_dogboy]

Sad to read this. Rest in peace, @Snake45.

 

[BearBiologist]

Despite some salty thread comments back and forth, we had some very amicable private discussions about shared interests and experiences. Last PM was about St Paddy's Day. No replies since then :unsure: :unsure::unsure::unsure: . A good man and a fellow veteran!!

:cry: :cry: :cry:

It is sad to hear about his departure but he will be welcomed in heaven. Always enjoyed his repartee in the political threads and his comments in the other threads over the years. I know he will be missed here and the other forums in which he participated.

 

[rugerguy]

Good, nice , and kind words above, may he rest in Peace,,,and he WILL be missed..:(

 

[NH Rugerman]

RIP Snake, this forum will be lesser without you….

MY deepest condolences to his friends, and family.

GOD SPEED

 

[Jeepnik]

Saddening. Prayers up

 

[Al James]

My condolences to his friends and family. I can remember his posts as long as I’ve been here. We agreed on a lot or so I usually enjoyed his posts.

As stated above it is sad win a well-known member of the forum dies. I have experienced this on other forms as well. I also find it interesting to put a face to the name only because he met his fate. In his case I always figured he was the guy in his avatar.

RIP Snake45! I’ll miss your posts and I hope there’s endless ammo in heaven.

This seems appropriate. (Lyrics of the chorus, plus translation from German to English, below):

Dem Himmel entgegen
Den Blick geradeaus
Denn in diesem Leben
Da hält dich nichts mehr auf
Dem Himmel entgegen
Kein Weg ist zu weit
Denn in diesem Leben
Ha'm wir nicht ewig Zeit
Hier bist du frei, hier bist du frei

Ich glaub' ganz fest daran
Eines Tages - irgendwann
Reiten wir wieder zusammen
Dem Himmel entgegen

(Towards the sky
Looking straight ahead
'Cause in this life
There's nothing stopping you
Towards the sky
No way is too far
'Cause in this life
We don't have forever
Here you are free, here you are free

I firmly believe in it
One day - someday
Let's ride together again
Towards the sky)

 

[Heliman]

My condolences to the family and friends of Snake45. May he R.I.P.

 

[tazbigdog]

OMG. 2024 is turning into a terrible year. Lost my Dad, my Aunt, my MIL, and now friends throughout the world.

Snake45, RIP. Less than 4 years older than I. GD it!

 

[carbonfibrebob]

RIP good sir

 

[Ale-8(1)]

One of the good ones. Always with the intelligent comment, whether you agreed with him or not. I will miss him immensely.

 

[Chief]

I can see him now, standing in the Elysian Fields, shooting that big old .45
Rest in Peace my friend.

 

[lowwall]

RIP Prayers for the Family

 

[6GUNSONLY]

Sorry to hear. A witty, insightful guy. I will miss him.

 

[Jayhawkhuntclub]

He was a diehard around here. Definitely a loss. May he RIP.

 

[eric conrad]

I always looked forward to his posts Rest in peace Snake. You will be missed.

 

[WendyZXZ]

Sad to hear of the passing of him. Good guy, fun buddy here. I always enjoyed reading him and the private messages we would swap back and forth. RIP, you are and will be missed...

 

[BarryinIN]

I just found this. So sad to read, as I've "known" Snake45 for many years across a few good forums. I think I first "met" him on the very badly missed Gun Zone Forum ran by Dean Speir.
As Dean passed a couple years before, along with Gun Zone regular Charlie Petty, I bet they are having long and very interesting talks in heaven now.
