RIP DAD

[Mark Brenckle]

So sorry for your family's loss. Keep posting stories of your hunts and meaningful times together. I lost my father when I was young, but I remember fishing with him, going to work with him and working on the farm with him. It's been nearly 40 years, you'll never stop missing him.

" I just lost my friend, my hunting partner and the man I am proud to call my father"

You sure?


You might not get anymore texts or be able to call him on the phone anymore.....But he's still around.

Sorry for your loss, Scott.

Praying for you and your family tonight. If you need someone to talk to, I'm willing to listen.


"Lord, right now when nothing like this seems to make sense, we pray for Scott and his family in this tragic loss of his father. We ask that you would comfort their hearts, as they remember the good and wonderful memories of their dad. Would you give them moments of laughter, joy and thankfulness as they ponder his life and help them now in the sadness and tears as they process the emotions, the loss and the loneliness in due time. We ask for restful, peaceful sleep tonight for Scott and his family. In Jesus' name, Amen."

Scott, very sorry for your loss.  I believe it was you and your dad I met at the top of Corral pass several years ago when you guys shot a funky looking 5 point, it was the year someone locked the gate at the bottom.  I'm 45 my self, way too young to pass.  I can't imagine how it feels, didn't know you guys much at all but I am truly sorry for your loss.  God Bless.

I now how you feel, my Dad was a little older than your Dad, 2 years 5 months and 10 days ago I got a call from my parents house. I was told to meet them at the hospital...before I could slam on a pair of shorts and my shoes I got another call to just come to the house to be with Mom. Worst day of my life  . I thik about him multiple times everyday. I credit him for all I know and who I am. He is and will always will be my hero and role model. There is not a thing in my life I do not see my Dad in. He is with all us kids all the time, I know Mom misses him the most as they were together just under 50 years. Time will help with the pain, the shock lasts for a lot longer....not sure it will ever go away but part of me does not want it to. It is almost as if I really make peace with it I lost another part of him. I hold those moments when he comes to mind so close now. I get real joy in sharing the moments with my siblings and certain times with Mom (gotta be careful what you share with Mom, she loves it but sometimes a little sensitive).
          If you have someone to talk to take that oppertunity, the right person to talk to will help. Keep your Dad alive in all you do and soon enough you will feel great about what you have done to honor him. Your kids will know him as you knew him and ther are some special things about him you willlikely find in your kids, I do quite often.

   You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers, if you have the chance keep an eye on the rest of your family they might need it.

Sorry Bud ..Very tuff situation .

It's amazing how painful it is, .... birth and death are as natural as sun up and sun down, .... but dang it sure can hurt.

Years ago my Sister-in-law lost her Mother and Sister in the same week. She said something that has stuck wid' me all these years:

"The Lord will not put more on your shoulders than HE knows you can carry"

Sometimes we will question this but, ..... keep the faith my friend.

[Fish4Fun]

Sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad, it has been 20 years since I got the call to get up to the house. Like you he was a Dad, mentor, hunting partner, and above all a Best Friend. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him.

[Knocker of rocks]

Sunday will be one year since my dad died.

[scottfrick]

Thank you everyone with your kind words. It means the world to me. Never in a lifetime could I ever imagine how hard this was going to be. Close friends to the family made a go fund me account on Facebook to help raise money for a nice funeral. It's amazing how many people have liked and shared it. I just want to give my dad a funeral he deserves and one that will never be forgotten.

[Rich_S]

The right words just won't come to me. Live the rest of your life in his honor. Make him proud!

Day three, and I am sure you arent feeling any better.   Hang in there.

Day three, and I am sure you arent feeling any better.   Hang in there.

I'm still in shock bone. Day 3 is a lot harder. None of this is going to be real until I lay eyes on my dad. Either late tonight or tomorrow. Losing your first best friend and idol is a pain unlike any other. Growing up you believe your dad is superman, nothing can hurt superman. He will always be there no matter what. Well as you get older you realize life is short. You gotta keep hold of your loved ones and cherish every minute with them. The last time I saw my dad was Friday nov 7 2014. He texted me big bull down and needed help hanging it and skinning it. I will never forget that day.
