This is sad news to hear.  As a rider myself I know how quickly things can go wrong on a motorcycle.  My prayers are with you and your family Larry!

[thump]

Very sad news,prayers go out to his family.

I just can't believe this!!!  I've never met Chris but exchanged quite a few emails with him and just bought some broadheads from him last month.  The world is truly a lesser place without him.  My heartfelt prayers go out to Larry and the rest of the Surtees family and to all of those who knew Chris.

How terrible. I just bought a bow from him last week. I have the bow.... I am feeling I should put that bow up for donations for his family. Someone PM me with how to do that.

[Terry Green]

Jashu,....email me the description and specs....and pics....I'll take care of it.    

[Sixby]

My prayers for his family and all who love him. God Bless you all in Jesus wonderful name and the peace of God which passes all understanding settle deep within you at this time.

[Wary Buck]

Been off-line for a few days.  Corresponded with Chris a few times, seemed like a real gentleman and generous guy.  Way too early to leave the campfire...

I have not been on in the last few days. My condolences and deepest sympathy.  Joe

I emailed you Terry. Its a Martin Jaguar, I think Chris used it for bowfishing.

Haven't been able to check in with the TG in a while. Very sad news indeed to lose a very stand up guy. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends from Indiana.

Our prayers are with the Surtees Family. It's not supposed to happen like this. Great to see the Tradgang step up. No other community like this one.

[Chris Shelton]

Man I've been so busy lately and today was one of the first days I've been able to just chill . . .  and then I see this . . .

Never had the pleasure to meet Chris, but I feel like I almost knew him! My stomach really dropped and the smile that was on my face is now gone!

Prayers sent . . .

Prayers go out to the family

Oh my God...I just saw this.  What a tragic loss.  May he rest in peace and may God comfort his family.

Been watching the threads about Chris' passing and haven't really figured out what to say, until now.

First, I want to send my sincere condolences to Chris' family.  May he rest in peace and his family find the strength to go on.

Second, the outpouring of generosity of the TradGang family in support of the Surtees family is amazing, my hat is off to you all.

Terrible loss. Prayers for the family and friends.
