Heaviest of hearts... farewell - we lost a good one... 2/1/23
It's with the heaviest of hearts I post this... I lost my dad yesterday in his fight against idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. His decline was too quick and too steep, his heart gave out from the stress and the fight. Ironically, 3 or 4 hours prior to passing, he was officially listed on the lung transplant list.
I won't post a massive post even though he deserves one, because I'm utterly heartbroken. It was a brutal struggle the last 5 days. He fought his ass off but succumbed to the disease. He was 72 years old. I fish because of him. I raise my kids like he taught me to. I make countless daily decisions using the knowledge and instincts he instilled in me. I'm just really going to miss him. Words cannot describe it... he was salty and loved his blue water. He was at home at the helm of his boat. He navigated with pride. Fare winds and calm seas Daddy-O. You left an irreparable mark and ever lasting impression on the world's of those who knew you. You'll always be loved and now, forever missed. RIP Dad... your forever thankful son, Jeremy

I'm so sorry for your loss man, losing a parent is one of the hardest things to go through. May his memory live on forever within you and your children.

I’m sorry Jeremy, I remember all the offshore trips you always told me about fishing the deep. I know you guys killed a lot of good fish together. I know he will be missed. 😢.
