dunefreak Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Bert (sanddunesaddict) passed away this morning. That's about all I can type right now. Keep his wife Ashley, his 3 kids, mom, sister, family and hundreds, probably thousands of friends in your thoughts and prayers. It is a very sad day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 When I joined this site and met Bert at Dumont the first time and found out his real name I told him I knew his father (who also was taken to soon). Bert and I had lot's of conversations about the time he and his dad spent at the dunes. He always said his dad was taken to soon and worried about it himself. Unfortunately he was right. Bert was a kind gentle soul and a friend to anyone and I for one am truly sorry that such a great person has left us. I keep Ashley and the kids in my thoughts and hope and know that his large extended family will be there to help. I am truly at a loss.

SAND~~SNAKE Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Bert's family requests privacy for the next 24 hours. But his wife does also request that we spread the word because he was loved by so many. Rest in peace Little bro. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sand chick Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 He was always nice and always helpful to me. He was one of the good guys, even rescued me out in the dunes a time or two. One of the few genuine people I ever met. He will be missed, my thoughts go out to his family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FE135 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I met Bert the first time in person when he pulled up to tow me back to camp after my son and I were hit by another rail. It was as if he knew me already and no big deal, that's what we do. The thing is we hear that all the time but Bert lived it. I have seen him cut a ride short to go rescue someone in the dunes. I also always respected how he would fly the US flag high and proud and would light it up all night. I didn't know him as well as most here but enough to know we all lost someone special. We should name a hill or bowl after him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
