Sat nite at approx 10:45 pm in the company of family and friends BT passed away! It is with the saddest of hearts that I bring this to you. He is in Coon Dog Heaven with Old Magic and Doc and I can hear him saying he beat me to the Tree! I am at a Loss of Words and trembling as I write this as he has been a Father, friend, partner and everything to me. A memorial Service is planned for Wed Dec 22 at 2pm at McMullen funeral home on Gentian Blvd in Columbus, Ga. This is tentative and at later date if all works with the family there will be one in Indiana for all the many friends he had in that part of the country! You had to know him and if you did you couldnt help but like him as he was joval and always had a story to tell and would have you in stitches! So tonite or the next nite you out look up and when you cut them loose just let him know you cuttin loose one more time for the Big Man! God Bless him and Each Of You!

Many Thanks to all that have called. Thanks Travis he would appreciate that. The last thing he told me was that New Years I had to set him in the truck and take him hunting that was something that was never missed and how we always brought in the New Year! Everything is set for Wed Dec 22 at McMullen Funeral Home 3874 Gentian Blvd Columbus Georgia. When I know more about Indiana I will let everyone know.

Just a note for all who posted and BT was the one who kept me updated when my wife an grandaughter was in wreck in Sept they are much better. Granddaughter (Emma) is all healed and Tina is breaking all the doctors predictions but she still has a little to go she set her own timeline and thats the Winter Classic, Bt said she would make and he would escort her looks like he and I will together. Thanks to all for the prayers and all that you can send Debbie and the Family!

Thanks to all of you! Just got in Tina wanted to go spend the time with Debbie so we loaded her up and it was good for both of them.
Yeah Mike that was our way of communicating and they always thought we was upset! LOL! Now I reckon I take his place and put one of these boys out there. He wanted another one.
Yeah Terry his motto and he had been on my tail lately and was waiting on Tina to heal up where I would kick into high gear.
David we appreciate and he wanted that 3rd one with a grandson and we was starting to gear up. Believe me he left me set to do whatever I want so we will see.
I am setting here thinking about a lot of the stories I heard told about him and me today and I laugh knowing he had a blast everywhere we went and the people he met and what they meant to him. You can bet when Jon, Ross, Kurt, Logan or me drop them we will be making them drops thinking about him and I will be thinking about the times we jerked the other ones chain! Laughing all the way to the Bank as he would say and now I will try to sleep knowing if he was in the room he would be snoring so loud I couldnt and everyone wondered why I slept in the next day!

Kevin, my thoughts and prayers are with you. You and your family have went thru alot lately. It goes to show that bad things do happen to good people. Keep your head up and keep pressing on, remember there is nothing going to happen, today or tomorrow that between you and the Good Lord that you can't handle. Take care and God bless.
