In Memory of coon.

I have been informed by coons wife, that he has died.
I will miss him dearly, he was an unusual asset to the Mushroom Hunting Forum. This is a rather devastating blow for me, and may be for some of you who knew his internet persona well.
coon's profile: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showprofile.php?Cat=&User=160863&what=login
First Post (8.18.06) ...... Damnit coon! Even in death you torment me! I just clicked the "next" button like, a trillion times, to get to his first post, and he deleted it.  http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5977329#Post5977329

Among his accomplishments, coon will be remembered for contributing the term "Perdorker" as synonym for whom we regard as "n00b".
Though you were with us only a short time, you left a lasting impression that will not be forgotten. I hope that your last days with us were jovial, and your last moments were tranquil.
Though I never knew you IRL, I regard my web friends with equal sentiment. Tears of loss are shed for your absence.
Your struggle is complete. Rest in content of the emptiness.

Not exactly. I'm not sure if it is appropriate to divulge.... but I suppose if it were coon, he would be forthcoming. He never seemed like the type to hide. I was told that he over dosed. I do not know with what, or the circumstances which led up to this. I am shocked and very sad.

Wow... I've been lurking here for a while and though I never said anything, I always enjoyed Coon's odd and informative posts + the smiley thing was classic! That's so sad, he seems like a really cool person. There will definitely be a little something missing here @ the Shroomery.

I'm pretty much in shock right now... coon was an amazing, ridiculously funny person with a sense of humor that could be as subtle as the subtle tea tits, or in your face like a happy coon dog. He was also a terrific hunter. So weird, you form these relationships with people on a message board, you feel like you know them and you feel their loss acutely. Truth is, I don't know how old he was, what he did for a living, or what he looked like (though I picture him as the crazy old redneck smiley). I hope his end was peaceful, and that the thoughts in his head were happy ones.

I'll miss you

Here is one of many great PMs from coon. This was last spring after my first big pan. subb find, he was here the same time I was, and caused a 10 minute giggling fit for me.

I've only been posting here for a short while, but coon's posts were those that I remember most. He's the only one who actually caused me to laugh out loud in my bedroom like a crazy person. A terrible tragedy.

Coon was from Pennsylvania. After a couple weeks had passed and he was still silent, I sent a PM to see if there were extension cord problems at the shack. Didn't hear anything back until his wife responded today with the sad news. Coon reached out to me when all you hifalutin no canned fish eatin types made fun of my sardines. He was a dedicated mushroom hunter. Check out his gallery... seven pages of morel pictures

I know it is against the rules to post PM's, however, this is not mean spirited, and only a salute to coons good humour. So I think it'll slide.

I think if coon wanted us to really feel something from the bottom of our hearts from this tragedy, it's that everyone must take care to know their limits and always stay well below them.
We are all coon to each other. remember that when your at the big party, and opportunity knocks, remember your comrade, your equal, your friend. And let his hard lesson save you, make him a hero, remember him not as a victim.
It's not ok to forget.

Sound advice. Though, without knowing the details, I don't know if we should make assumptions concerning intention or lack there of.
The circumstances are irelevent to how I feel, in this case. I will miss him, and I will not judge him based on this incident, only by his presence here.
Bye coony.

was his actual cause of death determined?
last year i took a normal handful of what I would call normal handful of morphine and xanax,
for some reason, that night, I almost fucking died, I had to be resuscitated twice, when any other night, i would have wanted more,
doctors said the X factor was the amount of methadone i had taken the night before
now i dont abuse my pills, i take them as prescribed.
I just think, it's the rule that if someone here passes, everyone thinks it's an OD.
While it's probably the case, maybe something else happened?
u can't tell me not one member in the past five years hasn't either died of a car accident, slip and fall, or natural causes, if everyone here that dies, dies of an overdose, maybe we all need to think about what we are doing when we are consuming whatever it is that we consume.

Omg... what the fuck.
This is a shitty ending to my already terrible day. Coon was so great to me, I think I learned more about mushroom hunting from him than anyone ever. I just can't believe this... he was such an amazing person, my personal favorite here on the shroomery. Wow I can't even remember the last time I cried...........
This is too much, I'm gonna go for a while and think.

Also, I'm pretty sure he wasn't a Texan.

It's not assumption. His wife PMed me with that detail. It is unknown what the substance was, whether it was a dangerous amount, or if there was some other unforseen factor contributing to the danger, or whether it was intentional. All of those questions remain unanswered, and I will not volunteer any assumptions.

Thanks CureCat, I don't think we want anyone to assume in this, it's upsetting enough. I didnt know Coon like any of you, but, his hunting antics were hilarious, and I have read a lot of his posts over the past few years. He's one of those that made you giggle out loud, and your spouse or friends look at you like your a fucking retard, coz you're hee hawing out loud (HHOL!)
rest easy Coon.
I see NO reason this would have been intentional, after reading hundreds of his posts over the past few days, i see NO SIGNS of intent.
Like i said in my mistake i made last year, there can be X factors, that almost do you in.

I am taking this really hard. I haven't really been this emotional in a long time. Last night when I heard the news I was like "wow this sucks" and then I started thinking about it more and I kinda broke down. I cried all night, was up really late, and my girlfriend had to come over to calm me. Today I am missing class just because I am so miserable.
Coon was one of the first people to ever rate me. I have laughed harder from his posts than anyone else ever. His personality and sense of humor was very unique and something that I will never find again. Though he probably doesn't know me as well as I know him, he has helped me on many occasions and is one of my main motivators to continue mushroom hunting. I have a bad lower back and leg problem and it is hard for me to walk. When I read his threads and he gives me hunting tips it gets me in the mood to go out there and hunt, no matter how bad I hurt.
Coon has been here with me since I first came to these forums, now he is gone. This is terrible for me.
CureCat, if you have any more info, please pm me. Anything will do, I'd like his name, address, or his wife's user name so I can at least send her my condolences. I want to be able to help out his family and do everything I can to aid them. What I would really like is his grave site. I swear on my life that one day I will pick some gyms and lay them on his grave. If it is the last thing I do on this earth I will accomplish this for him. So please CureCat, any info would help, you have my aim screenname as well so I will contact you sometime.
Thanks for all of your wonderful help coon, I will continue to hunt in honor of your name. May you rest in peave forever. Though my beliefs about god and the afterlife aren't very optimistic, it is times like these that I hope there is at least something out there for people like you coon. I love you man.

possibly there is some "anonymous" way to set something up to help his family.
I don't think giving out his address is the best idea.
Any time you want to be with Coon, go on a fungi hunt, if you knew him personally,
i bet he "haunts" his spots

I did not know Coon at all, either IRL or on the board. I have not been with this community long, but Coon's passing has affected more than I would have expected. Coon was a person I know by proxy, like a friend of a friend, and this experience reminds us all of our own mortality.
To Coon;
You have made an impact on the world by touching lives. There are people on this earth who loved you, and will continue to love you. Thus, your life was a success. May your soul be at peace and find eternal joy.

Here is a story of coon's haunting, in the context of mushrooms hunting, from someone who generally doesn't espouse superstition. I ordered a jewlers' loop about a week ago. It arrived yesterday and the surname on the return address was listed as Coon. If the shared connection was a really common name like "Smith" or "Jones", I wouldn't have paid much attention. But wait.... It deepens. The first mushrooms examined with this spooky hand lens was a Gymnopilus lookalike. I thought it a strange and kinda cool coincidence... "coon's hunted hand lens" will serve as a weird memorial contrivance.

Hah! Nice. I had a similar coincidence.
Tuesday night I was driving over to my friends house, feeling very sad, thinking about coon. I was bumming hard, but I got a call from my friend while on my way to his place. He said "guess what i just caught in my back yard." I said "huh, what's that?" "A coony!" I was all "Hah! If I was superstitious, I'd see it as a sign! But still, that's a cool coincidence."

Coon was a good friend.
 This is coon getting some closeup shots of a bee hive. The guy had guts! You can't see it in the picture, but there were thousands of bees swarming around that hollow tree at the top of the rock face.
 This is Coon holding a box turtle he found. I asked him if he really used the shells for lamp shades and he said no. But he told me about another guy, I think he called him Buddy, who frequented his hunting grounds and did kill turtles to sell the shells to be made into lamp shades.
Coon showed me one of his ginseng patches, which was really cool because I had never found ginseng, despite years in the woods!
 Buddy had raided the patch and dug up most of the plants, (out of season of course), but he missed this one. This is the first ginseng plant I ever saw. Thank you Coon!  Coon taught me all about ginseng, its habitat and life cycle. This year I bought 7000 seeds and planted them in suitable habitat on public land. Thanks for the inspiration Coon!

This is Coon's log cabin in eastern Pennsylvania where he lived with his wife, mother in law, and two little girls. My condolences to Mrs. Coon and his daughters.
 Coon and his family are good people, and very hospitable. Mrs. Coon prepared a feast for us while Coon and I were hunting mushrooms, and she even gave me this framed photo of Coon's picture of the month winner. Thank you so much for the photograph Mrs. Coon. I will treasure it forever.
Coon and I talked about a lot of things on our hunt, including his struggle with heroin. When I met Coon in July he spoke about his addiction as if it were in the distant past, something he had overcome a long time ago. It's really sad that it came back to kill him.
You will be missed Coon and you will be remembered well.

Damn! I only read the hunting forum occasionally but connected with Coon's posts well. I guess it has a lot to do with the fact that we are both in our late 30's, and live in a geographically similar rural eastern area. He posted a lot of pics that looked like ones I take while spending a lot of time in the woods here.
Very sad news indeed. My heart goes out to his friends and family. Especially his wife and children. I know my wife and two kids would be beyond devastated if they lost me this early in life.

I was afraid of that. He had mentioned how he lost friends to H, and used to have a problem with it.... I wonder what got him started on that shit again. Such a shame that the poison he hated with passion, got him in the end.
I'll will not forget your warnings, coon. I only wish that you too could have evaded its lethal draw.

i my self battle with opiates, mostly pharmacueticals that the doctors prescribe me, but still, it's a battle because I do abuse them.
I love H, so I hate H, it's a romance that no one needs to start. Unfortunately... the pharms are what started my love affair.
it's a vicious, vicious, cycle.

I am glad that the unfortunate death had nothing to do with active shrooms or toxic ones. It still is such a tragedy! We all will miss him!

How did this happen????? poor coon, we'll meet again. I loved coon, he always had lovely stories too tell and mushrooms too find. Coon will most defitnely be missed among the shroomery community but he will most defintely not be forgotten. This is a great tragedy and I hope his close friends are doing well.

Fuckin' shame. Its the worst fighting with something like that. An addiction can be hard to conquer. I know it sounds ridiculous to some but my own addiction to hash is hard enough. I cant imagine the pain of keeping something like that at bay. But the pain of losing someone... Its one of the saddest experiences you live with forever and it kills you inside.

...you "refused" to ID our pann subbs as pann subbs just a matter of months ago.
They WERE Pann Subbs man!!! But the jokes not on you coon cuz we know that when you recommended that we: "Try em and see if they're just the inactive edibles I know they are".....you were completely immersed in goading us to take a chance....and we did....and they were...God love ya. You're missed already.

I'd just like to say that I really genuinely liked coon. We had some cool exchanges, and I really wanted to visit him, as he lived near some of my family and I could have made a side trip to see him and his amazing hunting grounds.
I'm very upset by this tragic circumstance. There isn't much I can say, but I'm really down lately and I think of coon often, especially when I find subbs and foes... our exchanges over them still crack me up. The world was better with coon, and it's worse without him.
I would just like to say to my friends here on the shroomery, if I don't ever get to meet you, know that I wanted to. If I met you and we had a good time, know that I'll always cherish the experience. We don't often find people in life that share our passion, and when we do, we should celebrate that passion with each other.
Loved you coon. Thanks for all the laughs.

I'll remember coon for his humorous light hearted approach, independent flare, absence of pretense, and above all his love of nature. His understanding and knowledge of the natural world seemed experiential, I'm quite confident he was rewarded in life.

Although I didnt know Coon either, as others here, I have enjoyed every sound he made, however weird.
What you just said brought tears to my eyes, and I agree with your sentiments heart and soul. I have never in my life felt so deeply about a group of people that I dont know anything about. I love all of you as much as I loved Coon, and he will be missed from the bottom of my heart. CC do you know if there is anything we can do for his family? Even if it is not immediately I wouldnt mind doing something for them if it matters to them.
And seriously, Im glad Im a hindu and I believe in reincarnation, because atleast in my mind, Ill see him sometime, somewhere, somehow. You guys too.
Thanks for being so Shroomery, Shroomery.

I did not want to unsticky this thread, however, this is the Mushroom Hunting Forum, and I feel that the thread has served it's purpose- which is to alert those who knew him of the tragedy.
Letting this thread sink, I will not let our friend disappear from my thoughts. Yet, I have a responsibility to keep this forum orderly, and this thread cannot remain on top forever. However, the overwhelming number of posts this thread has collected, certainly keeps it from sinking off the page.
gmuralid, I have sent PMs to coons wife, and PMs to those shroomerites who met him personally, in attempt to extend our best wishes, and find out if there is anything any of us could do to help his family. I have not received any replies yet.
Haven't forgotten you, Gym master.

Oh my goodness. I was curious as to what happened with coon's where abouts. Good Lord!
This area is a rough one for heroin. This isn't the first case by any means in my years of life that i've seen good people end up getting killed by this terrible drug.
A couple of weeks ago I was talking to an old friend about this and that on the phone. A few names came up and he informed me that a particular guy had died in his front lawn from heroin. He had been clean for a few months and my buddy simply assumed that he had taken for granted the power of the heroin in this area and had overdosed. He had prolly taken amounts he was used to when he was strung out. He had over done it, wandered out of his house into the front yard and died nearly instantly. A neighbor saw him while going to his lawn work, ran over and he was already dead stiff. People, if there's any advice I can give you that's sound, don't fuck around with heroin or oxy. I've lost a many of good friends to the both of those drugs. Steer clear of them both. Life's too good and you only get one chance at it.
Rest in peace coon. Blowing kisses to you and your loved ones man!

Exactly the advice Coon gave me:

opiates in general serve there purpose in this world. Its abuse that is dangerous. However with such a drug with such incredibly potiential for abuse its better to stay away from doing it recreationally. Drugs get the better of people sometimes, this is a perfect example of an awesome human being, being taken down by the powers of dopiates.
