Default Young AO member has passed away recently.

I hope I am not mistaken on this AO member's forum name.

I am sad to say that a young AO member passed away back on January 10. Although he was confined to a wheelchair he was a very determined outdoorsman. He loved the outdoors and was able to participate in hunting and fishing despite his physical restrictions.

Sad to see him go so young.

Rest in peace and happy trails to 1Heavyhitr. Darin Woods.

Yes. This was the young gent. Although he was a quadriplegic he tried to live life to the fullest. Besides hockey he loved hunting and fishing.

Very sorry to hear this Red, thanks for posting this.
I did a reloading components trade with him a couple years ago and he was a fair and honest guy to deal with.
Condolences to his friends and family……
