Buzzard, Long Time Poster, Passed Away This Morning

[Mystery Meat]

He is in the eternities now. Thought that folks on the board would be interested to know.

Oh my goodness, thanks for telling us lvjd.  I always enjoyed his posts.  Prayers for his family.

[Garden Girl]

Thank you, lvjd66... for letting us know... I'm so sorry, but like you say, he's in the eternities now.

Thank you.

If you post there, could you pass on how much we appreciated him over here to his family, please.

[VideoGameJunkie]

Sad. According to his profile he was only 56. That's so young. Do you know the cause?

[Crypto]

Farewell to his passing.

[JLHPROF]

That's sad.  I enjoyed his posts.  He had referred to his illness in many of them.  Prayers for his family and joy at the end of his pain and his progression into the eternities.

[Tacenda]

I was hoping his health had improved, although he knew he didn't have long.  RIP Buzzard.

Cancer and Kidney failure.

I will miss him, and I'm sure his family and (IRL) friends will miss him.  As I recently shared at the funeral of someone close to me (and as the Doctrine and Covenants says), "Thou shalt live together in love, insomuch that thou shalt weep for the loss of them that die" (Doctrine & Covenants 42:22).  But our sorrow need not be permanent because, if his "Cyber persona" is any indication (and I believe it is: one can get a feeling about a person, even when interaction is limited to Cyber space) he has "hope of a glorious resurrection."

 

The fact of the matter is, he "came off conqueror," enduring to the end; he won.  As the Lord promised Joseph Smith, he triumphed over all his foes.   "Oh death, where is thy sting?  Oh grave, where is thy victory?" indeed!  We all should do so well.

 

Condolences to all most keenly affected by the loss.

my condolences to family and friends

[Stargazer]

I see by his profile that he was last on the board a week ago.  I hope I can continue posting that far into it.  When my time comes.

 

Will this board last that long?  Here's hoping.

He will be much missed.

Please also pass my condolences to his family and friends.

"In lieu of flowers, please take your family out into the fantastic Utah or California backcountry to spend a few hours in God's creation."

[Storm Rider]

This news brings a heightened sense of tenderness to me.  I appreciated his contributions here and I will miss him.  Life is very short and there are so many that pass without notice.  It underlines the importance of being forthright in our communications with all we meet.

Prayers and condolences.

Well wishes for his family and his new mission call.

[MorningStar]

Sad.

56.... wow. So young. Rest in peace, Buzzard.

[Kenngo1969]

Ironically, he passed on in my "new" neck of the woods.  Que en paz descanso, Hermano.  Que en paz descanso.  ("RIP," in Spanish.)

[rodheadlee]

RIP Buzzard

[Kenngo1969]

Hard to believe it's been almost six months.

God bless his family and we who will miss him.
