My father’s name was David, but you all may have known him as @stonenchizel
On Friday night, around 10pm, my father passed away peacefully in his sleep after fighting an infection for about a month. His health hasn’t been where it should have for some years now and most days he was struggling with pain. He’s not in that pain anymore.
I’m making this post because this community brought him great comfort. The ability to speak with likeminded individuals about things that were important to him gave him back some of the autonomy that his sickness had stripped from him in the later years of his life. So I wanted to thank you. Thank you all for being a community that he was able to identify with, that was willing to welcome him. He would often bring this community up when I would visit, speaking of how amazing it is.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You may not have realized it, but you gave the bleak days meaning for him.
And with this, we send him off. May he Rest In Peace and walk with the Lord. May heaven find him free of pain and reunited with those he loved that he lost over the years.
On behalf of my father,
@Stonenchizel signing off one last time.

On a board like this, we are all anonymous. But your Dad was a big part of things here and allowed his sense of humor and personality to come through in his posts and comments. He recently aid he was going to be 57 in April. He will have to celebrate that birthday with the family in heaven. Your Dad showed us constant faith in and love for God.
He now knows the answers to the questions we all want to know. He got there before us all. He will enjoy the world being set free from oppression from above us all. He and my Dad and many other patriots will be cheering to celebrate all of the triumphs of patriots as he liked to call those who fight against evil here.
There is a great line in Harry Potter where Dumbledore says the Harry don't pity the dead Harry, pity the living. He is now wrapped in a love greater than we can experience here on this earth. I am sorry you lost him young for your sake, but not for his. He now knows a fullness of joy and peace rarely felt in this world. I pray you find peace and that God makes his love for you clear as you grieve your great, wise, patriot Dad.
We will miss him everyday!
