RIP Louis Awerbuck

[Graves]

Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to meet him but I did enjoy and learn quite a bit from his articles and vids. Sad loss.

He chose to go out on his own terms. May he rest in peace.

Amen, I had never heard of him before, seems like a good egg after doing some searches on him. RIP and I wish peace on his family and loved ones, not an easy thing to deal with.

Awerbuck was a very early pioneer in a lot of tactical stuff, officer survival etc. A great is lost to us.

To echo what Mick & sp said; he is a loss to all of us, but may he RIP.

I have heard many great things of him; I'm sorry I did not meet, let alone get some training by, the "yoda".

As in suicide or otherwise?

Details are scarce, but the interweb has it that that he pulled the trigger on himself after a doctor's visit.

From what I read and heard; Louis was in failing health. That being said; as Mick alluded, he went out on his own terms.

I read an interview where he said the only thing he feared in life was losing control of his body and being cognizant of that fact. Talk about foreshadowing, huh?

That's a shame.

Mr Awerbuck was an instructor I always *meant* to train with. Now that it's too late I'm sorry I didn't make the trip.
