Sad news: RIP Mark Craighead, CEO Crossbreed Holsters

[johnh]

Gang,

I have just returned from spending the evening with the family of my good friend Mark Craighead, owner and founder of Crossbreed Holsters. Mark passed away earlier today after struggling to recover from complications of a recent surgery. I know many of you are Crossbreed customers, and have had interactions with Mark on various forums. He has been a sponsor here and honorary moderator from the beginning, although the growth of his business kept him from any regular participation. Please keep his family in your hearts and prayers this weekend. He leaves behind a wonderful wife who was his best friend, two daughters, and a young son.

Mark was a modest man, who never revealed that he donated thousands of dollars to charities, provided gear free of charge to service men and women overseas, and worked hard to give back to our small community. Mark was far too young to pass from this world. He had many good things left to do. The firearms community lost one of the good guys today. A true gentleman, father, and patriot.

Very sad ,why do we always lose the good ones?

It often seems the case, the good die too young. I know his family has been greatly comforted by the outpouring of sentiments online. Facebook and the various forums where Mark was known have had many kind words spoken for him. He left a good legacy behind.
