Misty Moonshine Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It is with a very heavy heart that I report to you all that Boyd A. Davis, SASS #2 (The General) passed away this morning in his California home, surrounded by his family. The General was a founding father of SASS and Cowboy Action Shooting. He was our president, resident comedian, and caring patriarch. He had the kindest heart of anyone I've ever met; he was my mentor... and my friend. I humbly ask for prayers for his family during this difficult time. I will share memorial information as it becomes available.

Turquoise Bill, SASS #39118 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Sad News Dear God, only You know when I'll reach the end of my trail, So I want you to know I'm grateful. A hundred times I've been thrown by life And a hundred times You've lifted me back in the saddle. Every morning I see Your smile in the sunrise over the prairie And taste Your breath in the sage on the wind. You put the aches in my bones at sunset to remind me that I'm still alive, And the stars in the midnight sky to keep me humble. I know that You love me. When I've thirsted You've been my drink And Your words have been my bread. You catch me when I tangle my spurs, You keep me from taking the crooked path. You gave Your Son for my immortal soul. And I know, Lord, that when I am judged You won't care how long I stayed on– But how well I rode. ©Copyright2002 Boston John Doucette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Dan, SASS #24025 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Very sad news for SASS indeed. I will personally miss him a great deal. He was always upbeat and enthusiastic during our conversations about Team SASS initiatives and ideas. I always felt the real presence of the General's support as we discussed ideas for how best to implement and support our Second Amendment mission. Much more than any impact he had on just me, was the irreplaceable impact he had on SASS and CAS throughout his life. He gave our sport and our organization real momentum from Day 1 up until his very last breath. Miss Mary and I will surely keep him and his lovely wife in our prayers.
