Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted February 2, 2011 Contributing Member Report Posted February 2, 2011 I too have not been on and havent searched the forum, just browsed for things that caught my attention. I just saw a post in the adult section from Domsleather about making floggers off of Dracs design and then he reposted that when he posted he didnt know RIP to Drac... No, he must mean that because Drac hasnt been on the site for a while... I just talked to Drac a few months ago.... So I did a search for Drac and found this. This really sucks. I was able to meet with Drac on a few occasions while he lived in Atlanta. He let me use his Boss stitcher and gave me a hands on walkthrough for his method of making floggers. I have a beautiful one here that he made that night. he was a great guy. A skater... he trashed his knees either before and after he joined the military, and never once tried to get out because of his knees. He did his full tour through constant pain. Had to be late October when I was sitting out on my deck enjoying a nice evening outside and my phone took it upon itself to call him up... I heard it making noise and pulled it out to find Drac on the other end. I got to talk and BS with him for a bit, he told me things in Austin were going and improving. I did not get any idea that he was troubled. There are not many people in this word I get along with and I like. He was one of these few people. I counted him as friend. I will miss you my friend. I will see you in Asgard, meet me at the gates and we will converse on the way to Valhalla.

Members CDragonworks Posted October 9, 2012 Author Members Report Posted October 9, 2012 Just realized that it will soon be 2 years since my friend Drac committed suicide..... I know he is missed by many!!!! I hope he found the peace he was seeking! Cat Quote
Members Dogface Posted October 9, 2012 Members Report Posted October 9, 2012 Just joined this forum a few days ago and now found this thread. Damn, always sad when this happens. I wonder if he was a Veteran ? Many Vets are choosing this 'way out' these days... Too much PTSD and too many psycho-active drugs = bad combination Quote
Members St8LineGunsmith Posted October 19, 2012 Members Report Posted October 19, 2012 this is ironic that I found this post just after replying to Drac just yesterday I never realized I was trying to communicate with someone who has passed on into eternity until I saw this post. I saw some of his works and he was a very gifted person, it is disturbing to me when I hear when someone decides to cut their own life short seems like such a permanent solution for temporary circumstances I pray he found the peace he was looking for.

Members floggermeister Posted August 15, 2014 Members Report Posted August 15, 2014 I too replied to one of the topics he created, 4 years after the sad news without knowing, because his tutorial had inspired me to try it. After I found out I felt terrible as it might look insensitive. He was an artist and a great teacher even online. He leaves a legacy Quote
