Money Condolences - From ChiefsPlanet

**Phobia** · 08:24 PM

Extended opportunity to Sept 14th. Please give. We're at $240 so far and this site can do much better.

In the past 2 months our site has lost two longtime members who were great people and contributed to this site over the years. Each of these men were in their 40's.

Currently, the Lounge is named for a man named Dan Edwards (aka CrazyHorse) who had fought lung disease for a very long time and finally succumbed to a second transplant which failed earlier this month.

Previously, Mike Hall (aka MadMax) died after a lengthy battle with liver disease on June 30th. We named the Lounge after MadMax for the entire month of July.

Several current members know these men in real life and some were even introduced to ChiefsPlanet by them.

We used to do nice things for people more frequently when the site was smaller and we haven't done anything like this for years. Dan was a Chiefs fan but spent enough time friendly trolling over at OrangeMane.com that they pooled their money and sent he and his wife on a vacation prior to his first lung transplant more than 4 years ago. We did nothing at that time.

I know there are some financial needs in both of these cases and these were extraordinary individuals who were taken far too early. Mike left a couple of minor children. Dan's son is grown.

We'd like to accept gifts which will be passed on to the families of these members who were taken tragically far too soon. Dan's family will utilize these funds to help pay for funeral expenses. Mike was a personal friend of FlopNuts and he will ensure that the money given for Mike will go directly towards the care of the children and/or their college fund. If you're unable or unwilling to give, please keep these families in your thoughts and prayers.

If you choose to send a gift via paypal, use the button below. l total the moneys collected and share those numbers on the 4th. Please specify how you would like your gift to be earmarked. If no instructions are specified, it will be split 50/50. Thanks for your generosity.

Personal checks can be mailed to me or I will provide an address via PM.

I will also say CrazyHorse Lounge is a good name for a bar. Or a good name for the lounge .

Not trying to cause trouble, but dont families usually set up official funds for donations when death occurs?

Donating money over the internet to strangers might scare alot of people off.

But other than that, classy move Phil.

This is a good idea and I agree with Luv, it should be stickied.

I don't think they set up funds as often as you think. I understand the concern of donating money to strangers so it's a good thing I'm not a stranger. We've done something like this probably 10+ times over the years here, we've taken contributions for the site itself, and we used to run a charity on this site. Every single penny has always reached its destination. I'm not a rich man but I do value my experience on this site and my reputation more than the few hundred bucks this is likely to bring in.

Money is tight for me right now, (is for a lot of people I'm sure). But I love this place, and will be more than happy to put a little into the collection for the families. Phobia how would you like to collect checks?

Garcia Bronco · 08-21-2012, 12:34 PM

I really enjoyed getting the opportunity to trash talk with Crazyhorse. He will be missed and he was always friendly. God Bless him and his family.
