I was doing my usual blog visits this morning when I was blindsided for the second time in 2 days…Old NFO reports Newbius died on Tuesday. I am actually shaking while I write this and I am so very sad.
We were not close. I barely new him, but he was unbelievably kind to me. He took me shooting and he let me shoot and shoot and shoot. When we were done, I tried like crazy to pay, but he had a gigantic smile on his face and say “NO WAY. “I haven’t had that much fun in a while.” He gave me tips on how to be more internet savvy as he felt my personal safety could be at risk. He was funny and sweet and passionate. I will miss him.
He spoke so lovingly of his family, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
I am sorry. Newbuis wasn’t a frequent poster, but his blog was always a stop. He was a kind man.
Our community had lost a good soul.
*hugs Sweetie*
We sure did! Hugs to you.
Prayers to the family. He will be missed.
My sympathies, AGirl.
I didn’t have the chance to interact with him, but know he is a well respected member of the Gun community.
I’ve heard the name, never got a chance to stop by his blog. But from everything I’ve heard, he was truly a man I would have loved to meet, well respected by all who knew him. He’ll be missed.
Prayin for his family.
I was hoping he and his family could join us for our get-together next week.
He was such a great guy in every way. He will be so sorely missed.
Me too. Me too. He was always good to see.
awww man- that is sad news..he will be missed.
I AM sorry for your loss. Prayers and kind thoughts for you and his family!
I so sorry to hear of his passing. Sounds like he was a heck of a guy.
I did not know the Man, but followed his Blog. I can only imagine what the Family is going through. Thanks for posting your memories of him in “real space”. The only comforting thought I have is this: “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” Ecclesiastes 12:7
Prayers to the Family. And you.
