Very Sad News for the MFF/Iceshanty Community

[wyofarmer]

It is with great regret that I have to tell everybody this but LT (Don) passed away yesterday afternoon. Most of us know that he had a lengthy battle with leukemia. He had a seizure yesterday and there was nothing the Dr's could do for him. I just ask for everybody to keep his family in their prayers and thoughts. He was a mentor, father, husband and an overall great man. I learned a lot of things from him. We lost a great family member yesterday. I'm at a loss for words right now.

Rest in peace Don. The next fish caught on Boulder will be released in your honor. You are missed.

Had an idea that was who you meant on FB farmer... Prayers and thoughts are sent! Hope he is up on a crappie pond somewhere in the sky catching pounders and looking over friends and family

Wow! I am stunned right now. I am saddened by this news. Don was very instrumental in the development of the Wyoming site and I believe our first Mod. I am so sorry I never did get to meet him in person. He always supported (me), us with nothing but class. Tonight my heart is heavy, and I 'm filled with emotion. LT, Don if you can read this post God bless you sir. My sincere condolence to his family.

The fishing community has suffered a great loss. I am also saddened I never got to meet him in person. What a great guy with a great sense of humor and an upbeat personality. God bless you LT.

I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, but online he had a great sense of humor and was a very knowledgeable guy. He will be missed.

LT (Don) was a good friend and a fellow Moderator both here and on Iceshanty. he will be missed here at this computer monitor. here is a MFF & Iceshanty mini biography that I put together.LT joined Iceshanty on 12-17-2005. & MFF on 5-21-2007. his first Iceshanty post was on 12-18-2005 at 5:07pm.I first met him when he sent me a PM to complain about a trouble maker in the Wyoming thread.I took care of the problem and we were friends ever since.LT became a Moderator in 2008.  over the years I have helped him deal with problems in the Wyoming thread.when the thread became to big to handle, LT told Scott he needed help and he recommended Mountain Man to be a Mod. next he put in a good word for Wyofarmer.both of these guys have a legacy to follow but I know they are up to the challenge. the Wyoming thread is in good hands.When LT became a Global Moderator he patrolled the whole site like he did as a cop in New Orleans. Sadly , he passed away on June 3,2012. his final challenge was just to much to handle. RIP my friend. You will be missed.
