Prayers for you and your family. He didn't suffer, thankfully, but I know that's not easy on those left behind.

You have my sympathies, it sucks.

Sorry especially for the sudden loss.

Not a bad exit, not that it was planned.

Keep pushing.

think you can take solace that he died happy, in nature, doing something that he really loved. He never had to deteriorate, or get sick, or be bedridden. As hard as this is going to be for your family, there are some bright spots to him walking right out of this world.. Sorry for your huge loss.



Absolutely. He didn’t suffer and died doing what he loved. He loved the Lord too so we know he is in unimaginable joy and peace right now. It is just so painful. I built a new duck blind for us to hunt this season and I’m going to take his shotgun out with me tomorrow for opening morning. I’ll load tear soaked shells into it for the hunt but I know he’ll be with me. He’d give me so much crap if I skipped opening morning.

Very sorry to hear brother.
Prayers for you and your loved ones to get through this.

If it’s any consolation, he passed doing something he loved.
We can all only be as lucky, per se.

It’s been just under a year since I lost my mom.
If you are anything like me, you have been flooded with so many memories and stories and those are precious… You’re gonna want to hold onto them. Start a note on your phone and add to it whenever something comes up or somebody share something that you had forgotten or never knew.
It is truly one of the most important things I did to help myself. I read and add to it all the time. Personal, free therapy…..

The loss of parents is something none of us are ever prepared for and you honestly think you know until you are in it and then you realize you only thought that you understood.

Prayers sent. My Dad passed in June and it just didn’t register. Now every time I want to share some kid stories or just catch up it hits new each time.

He left huge shoes to fill

Hug your loved ones tight y’all. He was doing perfectly fine, enjoying the outdoors and early deer season. He was walking right along, tracking a deer he had shot and collapsed. The doctors told us he died of a massive pulmonary embolism and never felt a thing. Lost consciousness in seconds and was gone in minutes. I’m just so numb.


I am so sorry for your loss. I hope I go like that too -- it's never easy for the ones left behind but I wouldn't mind it being easy on me

So sorry. Welcome to a club nobody wants to belong to. Probably won't be any comfort to you, but he went out on a high note. Having seen plenty of death in my time, it's best way to go. Here one minute, gone the next. It's hard on the ones left behind, but he didn't suffer like a lot of people do.
