Rest in Peace Old Navy Goat

[Chainshot]

Bad news that we had feared - Old Navy Goat passed away on December 9th per a message I received from his brother. I don't have details. We knew he'd had some health issues, some related to his time in the service, and I have not found any public memorial info yet. If I do so, I will pass it along. Be well, Chief.

thanks for digging into this, Chain. He was quite the character, and I swear his life's story would have been a hoot to read.
Fair winds and following seas, Sailor.
Rest your oars, and rest in peace.

Rest in Peace Brian. Thank you for all the great stories and insight.

Ah ...it sucks to have your fears confirmed. ONG truly was the Dos Equis guy and will absolutely be missed. RIP to a one of a kind.

 

[blingo22]

Rest in Peace Bud.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Sad, rest easy. Fair winds and following seas.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Aw man, he really did have some great stories. Seems like he lived a full life. RIP.

How many more of us are going to die before the Bills or Sabres win a championship?

 

[ValJamesDuex]

My favorite poster of all time on this board! His stories were entertaining and hockey knowledge impeccable.

Thank you for your service sir and passion for hockey.

Seemed like he enjoyed his last few years as a ex-pat abroad.

They don't make them like that anymore. He is missed.

Rest in peace, my internet friend. I always enjoyed reading your opinions and insights into hockey.....and loved to hear of your exploits.

You will be missed.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Damn this sucks. Unfortunately we all kind of had our suspicions that this happened.

 

[sabremike]

Legend.

RIP.

 

[michaelsaas]

I feared this was the case. Thank you for letting us know Chain.

 

[Beerz]

Sad news.


On to the next chapter, Brother

Very sorry to hear his. RIP. Thanks for the news, Chain.

So sorry to hear about Old Navy Goat - praying for him and his family and friends and all here.

 

[Fly Boy]

RIP to an OG. Always sounded like he was enjoying life the way he wanted.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Rest in peace…he was definitely extremely well liked.

 

[HaNotsri]

He lived life to the fullest. Expanding to over 300 employees is absolutely crazy and running multiple locations. If I have half that energy when I go I will die proud.

I will miss the stories but also the comfort I found in Old navy goat existing. It was nice knowing that a true original was out there, stranger than fiction but always very friendly.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Wow... I'm so bummed to hear this. I enjoyed all his input on prospects around draft time.

RIP Old Navy Goat! Thank you for all your kind comments, sharing your knowledge and more importantly, thank you for service

 

[TehDoak]

RIP ONG. The OT thread stories just haven't been the same the last few months.

 

[Puppa2Miller]

Pour one out for THE G.O.A.T.

The OT thread isn't really of much interest for me, but this guy's posts were something to read. A good writer could probably put them all together and come up with a cool ass HBO series. I always pictured him with a smile even going through the various struggles of life.

His draft analysis was my favorite on here. IIRC, he was a champion of Konsta Helenius. Glad we got one of his dudes in his last draft. May Helenius be a part in leading our squad to prosperous times and maybe think of ONG every time Konsta lights the lamp

From one Vet to another, God speed Old Navy Goat.

 

[sabremike]

Can we see if we can get the team to honor ONG at one of the games this weekend?

Also I pray that he left behind an unpublished memoir.

Sorry to hear the news, been here over 15 years….all of you are like family….sorry to hear…
