Wylee One,sass # 53213 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I just can't believe this very sad news! Years ago when these two brothers were just kids,I enjoyed sitting across the table from them playing Texas hold'em; I was very impressed how mature they were. As the years went by I was able to spend time with them in other card games as well as visiting for hours around the fire in camp and most recently in the pool with the pooley gang at EOT 2011. These brothers have always been the "best of the best" when it comes to being good people or following the cowboy way. I am sure there are many stories out there of how selfless and giving they both have always been. I count myself VERY lucky to have spent what little time that was available with them,and will always smile when I think of the good times we had.My heart and prayers go out for them and their family, and that Parker recovers from his injuries.

BrimstoneJerome Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I will miss my friend, and I am thankful that the other is gonna be ok. The Cat family has treated my like one of their own, and has always looked out for me. Parker and Gordon set up tent for me when it was pitch dark at EOT when I told them I was going to sleep in my car, Gordon said "Lurch, your too grown for that." My deepest sorrows go out to this wonderful and special family. I will miss my friend. Brimstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westphalian Phil Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 What is there to add? Nothing! We are speechless, helpless and deeply sadened by the horrible news. Both Parker and Gordon have presented themselves as the finest of "Young-Guns" you cold hope for. We had the pleasure of meeting the entire family and spent wonderful times shooting or socializing! It was with great pleasure that we could win them to join the Pooley-Gang and trueley they represent every quality the cowoby family stands for. The moments we spent as friends and competitors will never be forgotten. Gordon will live on in our hearts and spirits. We, the Pooley Gang want to express our condolences to his family and we hope that they find the strength they need to get through these horrible times. We wish Parker all the best for a speedy recovery. Rest in Peace! The Pooley Gang!

Deadly Sharpshooter Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 As with Dang it Dan and others,I met and shot with Cobra Cat and Lightning Cat at EOT recently. They are both champions in every way. Not only top shooters, but two of the hardest-working posse members I have ever known. Our prayers go to Kitty Carbine and Cat Tracker, and especially to Cobra Cat for a full recovery. I am deply saddened, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusta B. Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 This from the Pawnee Station club Pres. Dave Bishop To Pawnee_Station@yahoogroups.com This past weekend we all lost a wonderful friend and a fine young man. His activity just prior to his passing reflects why he will always be dear to all of us. Gordon and Parker (Cobra Cat) showed up early and lent a hand to set up the party, They had fun and if I know Gordon and Parker they made sure everyone else enjoyed themselves as well, Then they hung around afterwards to help with clean up. I can say that at every Cowboy event I've been involved with where Gordon and Parker were present that is exactly how things went. I never once had to ask for their help. They saw something that needed to be done and simply did it. That's COWBOY! Yes they could liven up a party. I remember a few Saturday night festivities at Winter Range where Gordon danced with every Lady who wanted a trip around the dance floor. Thanks Gordon, I know the ladies appreciated it because some of us old codgers aren't as nimble on our feet as we once were. Please remember Gordon and especially Vance, Chris and Parker in your prayers. God knows he got a good man and I'm sure Gordon has already found something that needs doing and is hard at work.

Those brothers are as good of pards as you'll ever meet. Gordon will be missed and remembered as long as I live, at any rate. My fondest hopes for a swift and full recovery for Parker are added to those already here, as well as for any peace he, his mother, and his father can find.

Colt Faro, SASS #54579 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Words can't express the sorrow I feel. Both Dylan and I can not get this out of our minds. Lightning and Cobra were HUGE positive influences on Dylan. They both talked to him like he was not just a kid. "They treated me like I am normal like I am one of them" was his words to me. He loves those guys! Needless to say this is having a huge impact on Dylan and me both. We think the world of this family and our heart truly goes out to everyone. This sport has lost a great competitor and incredible personality. It's also lost a youth something there is just plain and simple not enough of in this sport. There will be a huge void for us at Winter Range this year. I hope this is not in bad taste but here is the only video I have of Lightning Cat from Hell on Wheels 2 years ago. This how I choose to remember him. God Bless, Colt http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfkVmIPgeQY&feature=share&list=UUCAQtJIDrFh6BJDBZujm09w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
