Re: Johnylongblades Died Today 07/08/07

I dont know what to say. I cant believe JLB is gone. Damn it man, I just cant believe it.
Johny was definitely a cool dude. I really liked him. Dove on our team this year in the state freedive tourney and took us out on his boat several times in his hometown of KW over the winter when things were cold and crappy here. He always had a good time and did it for no other reason.
He worked nights as an EMT undoubtedly helping a lot of people. I still have the EMT jacket he left here in April that I planned on returning next month.
He was best friends with Carson Young, even had a CY tatoo with a dive flag on it. I hope they are reunited now.
Sorry Brad, I know you guys were tight.

What a tragedy to the spearfishing community. Terrible to lose one of ours. My respects... R.I.P.

Dago.

dago-if you or anyone has brian's number, i'm sure he would want the call. jeff seems to have lost it but is sending him an email. phone would be a lot nicer though.

Re: Johnylongblades Died Today 07/08/07

spoke with carla mike girlfriend and mike is doing well so far. still in the chamber. she said that he should be getting out 3am if all goes well.
carla said he would call me asap.

johnys sister and i pulled the boat out of the water just alittle bit ago and she stated to me that she would like to set up a contribution fund to help kids become certified to dive in memory of John. i will post about this at a later date.

i also will be placing a stone placard on the site where this occured in memory of John.

these are the last pics i have of the last dive i was privileged to accompany my friend on 07/03/07

Oh no! My condolences go to JLB's family and friends. He was so well-liked on Spearboard. What a staggering loss it is! May he rest in eternal peace.


Mike, we also pray that you pull through with no harm. Here you are in a state of happiness. The whole spearboard community is rooting for you.

Re: Johnylongblades Died Today 07/08/07

im so sorry, john was an awesome guy he loved the sport and diving, my condolences to his family and friends, sorry you lost your buddy brad, im still shocked , the last stories we exchanged were about the 80 lb black he shot and put three shafts in him, he still couldnt get the fish that day we laughed about it winning the KWO and he said he was going back for him. well i hope he gets that bruiser now , i hope he is swimming in clear warm waters
