I wanted to let everyone here know that former forumer Mispeld/Mispeld Jon C is in the hospital on life support right now. I don't know how many of you remember him, though he was active as recently as mid 2013. He was an OMHW team member and an all around great guy. He'd just gotten back on solid footing after a nasty separation and was HUGE in the paintball scene down in Georgia. He was out playing in a big game this weekend in Florida when he collapsed on the field and was unresponsive. They initially thought it was heat stroke, but it wasn't. They called the EMTs who determined he was in bad shape and rushed him to the hospital where they found he had a brain aneurysm. He was rushed to emergency surgery and suffered a massive stroke on the operating table. He's been declared brain dead. He had just celebrated his 32nd birthday a week ago today. He's likely not coming back from this at all given the one-two punch of the stroke and aneurysm and his family knows this, but they're asking everyone to keep him in their thoughts and prayers none the less. Just figured you guys should know as he was a long-time member here. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

| Remember the name, but not much about him. That's unfortunate. Will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. That is insanely young. |

Man, I remember the guy from back in early 2000s. Didn't remember us being the same age. Sad story. ------------- Face it guys, common sense is a form of wealth and we're surrounded by poverty.-Strato |
