April 12th, RR Game: Operation Evin Coombes
Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2014 9:35 pm
As I'm sure you're all aware, Evin Coombes passed away on Saturday while driving back from lunch to an airsoft game. From the very beginning he was outgoing, eager to help and learn, enthusiastic, and friendly. He made friends with many of us at the many games he attended, and even helped with. Not only was he eager to volunteer when we needed help running games, but he always did a great job. Evin's involvement was a blessing and his friendly attitude and genuine love of the sport and, more importantly, the people in it, is inspiring. I'm confident I speak for the AOSC when I say that all of our genuine sympathy goes out to his family, and that those of us that knew him were grateful for the time we spent with him. The next time we step onto the field, let's take a moment to remember him, the impact he had on us, and the good example he set of loving the game and the people in it.
In Memoriam
In light of recent events, I have spoken with Evin's father and the field owner to coordinate a memorial game to honor the memory of Ghost141; Evin Coombes. The field owner and his wife have graciously agreed to the request to only receive $5 per person for this game. The field fee will be $20 per person. The entirety of the remaining $15 per person will go directly toward the funeral costs for Evin Coombes. His family is invited and his father has agreed to lead us in prayer prior to the game. The goal of the day is twofold: to bless his family by helping ease the financial burden of funeral costs; and to honor Evin's memory by doing one of the things he loved best, playing airsoft with friends. It is my belief that his wish would have been for us to remember him with a great day of airsoft fun. If you are able to attend and help us honor Evin and bless his family, please do.
