Hossfly

[JLW]

Hossfly was a good and honorable man who loved and served his country with distinction. My condolences to his family and loved ones..

Happy Heavenly birthday Hossfly. Fly high. The message board has already seemed to have been a little darker since you've been gone. I loved your sense of humor as you never failed to make me laugh and bring a smile to my face, and I'm glad that it seemed like I could always do the same for you as well. Say hello to Kat and Ridgerunner for me if you can.

 

[ChristisKing]

Oh yes and thanks for serving our country Hossfly, you deserve to rest in peace.

 

[ChristisKing]

Man I know that we're just a bunch of words and pictures on a screen here but it's still amazing how I've become attached to certain people. I had a tough time with Kat and Ridgerunner being gone, but I'm having a really tough time with Hossfly being gone.

One of the best ones to me. He was such a nice guy and a goofball at times.

You don't salute with your left hand. Just FYI.

I appreciate the respect though!

You'd have to take that up with the meme creator, but something didn't look quite right to me about it but I'm not familiar enough with military protocol to spot that as easily.

My main concern and point was to offer my respect to Hossfly in a final 'sign off' to him, and the hope he received a hero's welcome that he deserved in Heaven that he may not have gotten here.

We hoped the trolls could manage to stay civil in such a thread as this, but........

At any rate, we loved ya', Hoss.

Why is that video age restricted?

Still do. We should have a tribute thread for all of the members that we have lost. In reality they might be screen names and profile pictures, but in my heart they were members of my online family.

Hossfly was a dutiful and admirable man. He had honor and integrity and was a friend who would give the shirt off his back to help another in need. I know he had to be a great father, as well. My sincerest condolences to his remaining family. What a loss to bear. It is with great sadness, I say, Rest in Peace, dearest Hossfly. I will never forget you and the way you served your country and others all through your life. You were a love, in my eyes.

It really does feel like we lose a family member when somebody we've gotten attached to on here passes doesn't it?

 

[ChristisKing]

Oh and if we feel this bad over loosing Hossfly, just imagine how his real life family and friends feel.

 

[ChristisKing]

I made a new tribute thread to our lost members.

Thread 'USMB Heaven: A Tribute to The Members We Have Lost 😇'

Dec 9, 2025

After the recent passing of Hossfly, I figured that I would start this thread as a memorial for those who have passed. Also, when other people pass they will be added to this thread as an announcement. In reality we might all just be screenames and pfps, but it truly feels like many of us have become online family members. So to Kat, Ridgerunner, and now Hossfly and any others that I might have possibly forgotten, rest in peace.

Why? We already have a perfectly good one. . . .

In the Badlands? Whatever. Why can't you just leave certain things well enough alone as this is about the lives that we're lost on here nothing else. Man, show some respect!

How ironic? That is precisely what I was thinking about you.



The reason the badlands is more appropriate, is b/c of free speech.
I like nearly everyone, regardless of their politics. You? Not so much it seems.
I want folks to feel free to share what is in their heads and hearts.

If you post a remembrance thread in announcements and feedback, it does not foster honest conversation about topics and people.

True remembrance is encouraged by EVERYONE getting to vent their thoughts and feelings.

If Hoss and Kat were anything, they were honest.

If you don't believe me, go look at the list of people that Hoss follows.

Meh, I wouln't call the Admiral a troll, just a cranky veteran that's a stickler for details that while it's annoying, I can respect that cause I do that too sometimes. And I'll give him credit for trying to be nice about the correction.......in his own way.
