Rest In Peace, Rocket

Post by big bend gyrene »

Sad news to share this evening. Forum member Rocket lost his battle with cancer earlier today.

Know lots of forum members were friends with Rocket... and if you ever met him, almost impossible not to think of him as a friend as he was an all around good guy. Was still in his mid-40s when he lost his battle, and leaves behind a family who will feel the pain of his absence for years to come. For those so inclined, please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. RIP, Rocket. You'll surely be sorely missed by many.

Heard the news at the ball field tonight - where he loved to spend time with his boys. Really hits home. RIP Rocket.

That is so sad, I didn't know Rocket but read some of his posts so I felt like I knew him. Praying for his family, I just lost my only brother to cancer so I can relate. :smt010 :smt010

So sad to hear this. Only met him one time but we talked for a while and I could tell he was a good family oriented outdoorsman who loved his children. Prayers for the family

Link to Rocket's (Noel Nash) obituary.

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/j ... =188883500

Also share a few pictures to put a face with the name. Really speak to who Noel was... loved hunting, fishing, friends & family, and coaching kids in baseball. Again, just an all around good-guy.
