You have been the best among us and even now, with a blade over your head, we learn from your attitude. There will be just a few times in live that someone like you will be with us to teach us how to face the best and the worst.

In no way it's a goodbye from my part my brother, probably we'll be able to chat more. I just can say thank you for you be who you are!

Craig-
Thank you for all you have done and everything you will continue to do, and no matter when what happens, happens, you will always be remembered for what you have done, and what you will continue to inspire in all of us. You are such a natural at what you do and as many others have said, you always raised the bar, and all of us have strived to be as good as Outrider. Our prayers are with you and your family. Take care my brother and may the rest of your journey be free of incident.

Your Determined will and strength to perservere is an inspiration to us all. the very knowledge of knowing that i may wake one day to see you gone rips a part out of me that can't be replaced by swapping it with a new o-ring. the day we go without you is the day this community loses one of it's finest. Blue skies Uncle Outrider, may we forever soar in your humble teachings.
