A hero passes today......

[thecrittergitter]

It is with a very heavy heart that I pass on the news to all who followed my friend Dan and his hunting expeditions this fall. Dan has passed away today and gone to the happy hunting grounds where he will be full of good hunting from now on. I want to thank again all the people who followed Dan's hunts this fall and especially thank those who offered their help and support in any way they could. The world has certainly lost a great person today, and my prayers go out to his family for their loss.

I couldn't thank Dan enough for allowing me to be a big part of his last hunting season, and again for the service and dedication he gave to his country and all of us.

Dan, you will be greatly missed by all! Happy hunting up there brother!!!!

Couple photos attached to tribute to Dan. The last photo is Christmas time when I gave Dan the photo collage I made for him from his hunting season. Was a neat day!

Your an incredible person for all of the effort you put into his season. I remember reading through your posts trying to find a place for this guy to hunt and could only wish I could help. Brought a tear to my eye looking at the pics.

Sorry to see that he has passed although he is in a much better place now than we are. He had one heck of a GREAT season last year and you are lucky to have gotten to be part of that. Hats off for all you did. Thoughts and prayers sent for Dan, his family and friends. God bless.

May the elk be plentiful where Dan is currently hunting.

Thanks for all you did, Matt. It was an inspiration to all of us.
