I just got word today that a my long time brother and friend of many of you on here, that Jeff Dorris, member 10334 passed away on this past Tuesday. He died of Heart Failure while fighting Double Pneumonia in the hospital. Jeff had a very hard life these past three years and i know this affected some dealings with a few of you on here. He told me three weeks ago his short comings on these deals was eating at him and he felt helpless. I posted here on Pow wow because i need no prayers for me, send to family and his little dogs. Just think about this, anyday, anytime our number could be drawn in lifes lottery. So live life!  Jeff stepped over into another world with Bow in Hand.Here's a picture of my brother.   (http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z232/mrvicattheriver/jeff2520dorris11-1.jpg)

He's in the Happy Hunting Grounds now. We are all traveling on the level of time to an undiscovered country from which no traveler returns, and I am grateful for the companionship, camaraderie and fellowship along the way. Prayers, though not requested, are nonetheless on their way for Jeff's family. His soul is in God's hands now.

WHOAA!!!  Jeff Dorris sold me my first trad bow on another sight, and was the person who turned me on to TradGang. He sold me a 45# @ 28 Bear Grizzly.  I owe thanks to this man for giving me a good deal on  a bow That started my trad Journey.  Prayers for his family.  Joe

Very sad news.  I've had several trades and considered him a friend, never had a problem. A couple of years ago he made me an awesome copper-head skinned knife that I will always highly esteem, same as the man.

Prayers for his family and may our gracious God grant him a new home!

Jeff Dorris......A great Trader and friend. I was lucky enough to trade with him and meet him. Shot some bows with him and did some nice deals with him. He was a very accomplished craftsman. I have some of his knives and leatherwork. He will be missed. I shed some tears today and I will shoot an arrow into the woods for him on Sunday. "Goodbye Jeff", your buddy.
