Long Step has passed today

Pards , it with great sadness that I must tell you that Long Step (Gary Bacon) , has ridden into the sunset. He passed today in Grand Junction , CO., and will be buried next week in Daisy , OK.

My heart goes out to Bonnie , and all the rest of Gary's family. Let our thoughts and prayers be with Bonnie and Gary's parents and siblings , and his children.

I have no other details. Those who knew Long Step remember what a great guy he was , and how he was cut down by a brain tumor a few years back. He fought it hard , but now has lost the battle. I will miss him.

Heartbroken , Rex

Lord I pray that this family may have the assurance the Shifty is with you and kicking up gold dust. in Jesus's name, amen

I missed seeing them, being with and shooting with Longstep and Lady Longstep when they moved from Farmington, NM. It is a sad day for sure.

 

This makes two shooting friends I have seen pass in the last few days.

 

I have the upmost respect for Longstep. He taught me so much in sportsmanship in the game of CAS.

 

I wish Bonnie comfort and peace in this time of loss.

 

Goodbye for now Gary.

Gary has been in my prayers so often. He has given a long, hard fight. Prayers again up for Bonnie, friends, and of course Gary's mother and father (Choctaw Jack). May God bless and comfort.

Very sad day :( When I got Stumble Leena's email last night about Gary's passing, it was a sad moment. When I first started shooting Gary's advice and help ment alot. My condolences to Bonnie and the family, he will be missed.

Longstep was a HUGE part, and hard working member, of our club Tres Rios Bandidos. A true ambassador to CAS, and a mentor to many in the sport. Our condolences go out to Lady Longstep and their families. El Mulo

Our condolences to Lady Longstep and family. Canelo Kate and I had the pleasure of posse-ing with them in NM at Victorio's Run and later at Bordertown. Nice folks.

 

Safe trails,
