Remembering Sparksalot (Rex): A Valued Member Lost

[Wolfgang92025]

Got some lousy news last night.
Sparlsalot (REX) a member for this forum since 2008 passed.
Only have a few details.
He was supposed to meet some friends for an overland trip and did not show.
They got concerned and ended up doing a welfare check since he had been radio silent since Wednesday.
Once at his home, some of the guys could see him in his bed. They forced their way into the house and one of the guys, an EMT checked everything he could.

RIP, we will miss you.

Below are a few pictures of Rex from Walk the Winds 2025

Sagebrush (Will) and Rex

The last picture was taken on the 2nd to last day as we spend a couple hours exploring the area.

We will miss Rex around the campfire at the next Walk the Winds.

Sad. So sorry to hear that. He will be missed. I know he was always quick to chim in if you needed help/advice on a project.

Sorry to hear that. I was always hoping to meet him in person someday. Apparently, I was the one who got him interested in Overlanding.
