With a heavy heart I report that Trad Gang has lost Brian Krebs, (# 2800). Brian died last Saturday in his home in North Fork ID. He was 59 years old.
Here is the link to the Obituary column of the Idaho Statesman newspaper:
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/idahostatesman/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=146114511 Brian was my friend. His passing is a huge loss to not only me personally but to the many Trad Gangsters and other hunters he had helped over the past years.
The manner I met Brian was typical of many people who met Brian. In the summer of 2006 I threw out a Trad Gang Pow Wow post asking for help in finding a place in Idaho to hunt elk. Brian stepped up, answered the call of a total stranger and we began a friendship that included deer elk and bear hunting adventures, along with many late cold nights swaping lies around the camp fire. During these past years I brought a handful of bowhunters along with me to hunt elk in Idaho. Brian embraced each man with a glad heart. This man was not shiney or flashy, just solid.
Brian was a man of limited finances and he made due with what he had, I never heard him complaining about life being too rough. He was outspoken and passionate about hunting in Idaho, highly concerned about the mis-management of the Rocky Mountain wolf issue.
He was a successful and accomplished hunter. He was a breeder of fine hunting dogs and kept a string of pack animals. His roots ran deep in nature, like many of us who prowl Trad Gang.
Rest in Peace Brian....and "Thank you" for all you did for us while you were here.
