The roar in Death Valley will be quieter this year


Aug 15, 2011, 4:20 AM

About three months ago I asked for prayers for my Father, and this week after a tough battle with cancer he passed peacefully at home surrounded by his family. Thank you all so much for the prayers, and know we were all strengthened by your thoughts and prayers. Our family is mourning, but taking some measure of solace that he is at rest and no longer in pain. This is, as you could imagine, a tough time for our family, but we are also spending time celebrating his life.



This post will do little to share even an ounce of the amazing man he was, but some may find it interesting to glimpse into the life of a Clemson man who made his family, school, and country proud. And if anyone is interested here is his obituary ( http://tinyurl.com/GTFabian )


He was a lifelong Clemson fan and a member of the class of 69.



While at Clemson he was part of Scabbard and Blade as well as AF ROTC

He served his country in the Air Force as a Doctor and did so honorably. After retiring from the Air Force he spent the last seven years working for SC DHEC.

There are a million things he was. He was a doctor, a military man, a Clemson fan, a movie buff, a South Carolinian, as well as being the hardest working man I've ever met. When he decided something was the right thing to do, he decided to do it. And when he decided to do something, it got done. I've never met a man like him and one day I can only hope to be a tenth of the man he was.

He was all of those things, and so much more.

But, to me, he was simply my Dad. And I miss him.


Sorry for rambling, but I felt like sharing.
