[MR] [Hidden Mountain] OT: Sad News: Uncle John has passed away

[logan]

and we just watched the tape from that very hot day so many years ago.  i
recall him laughing at me from afar, after my groin protection went flying
off into the sunshine, while he was asking me if i was ok.  while it was the
only time i ever met him he left an impression on me as a very kind man,
and you have my condolences on your loss.

 

best regards

logan

Subject: [Hidden Mountain] OT: Sad News: Uncle John has passed away

 

Please pardon the bandwidth, but I know several people remember him and
would like to know.

My uncle, John Yaun, known to SCA friends as "Big John", has passed away
just two weeks before his 67th birthday. He was the middle brother of my
three uncles, but the tallest (at 6'6") and largest (at well over 350
pounds) of the three.

Uncle John tolerated our fighter practices and mini tournaments held
literally right in his backyard, not to mention the visits to his bathroom.
My property behind my uncles' house was the scene of the Great Air-borne
Cod-piece (ask Logan, or better yet, ask Achbar).

Uncle John only attended a few "real" SCA events, but he made quite the
impression. Remember "Bad to the Bone"?

Many moons ago, I was sitting in Uncle John's van when (at that time LORD)
Kane O'Shannon walked over to say hello. Kane had started to lean into the
window, when he realized... just... how... BIG... John was. The look on
Kane's face was priceless. Kane took a large step back and started using a
lot of "sirs"...

In the last few years, John had started to work on losing weight. He was
eating better and had lost over 100 pounds. When we saw Uncle John this past
Spring Break, it was obvious to me that he didn't feel "good". Uncle Lewis
(the baby brother, aka "the quite one") reports that John had been in almost
constant pain since mid-October. Last Wednesday John had gone into the VA
hospital for an out-patient gastro-intestinal procedure, but the procedure
was stopped and the doctors admitted him for observation for his heart.
Uncle Billy (the oldest brother) and Grandma Yaun (their mother, my
grandmother) were present with John on Sunday afternoon when his heart
suddenly quit. An autopsy is planned to determine if cancer was indeed the
cause.

Funeral arrangements are just being made. If you would like to know the
details, please email me privately (off-list) and I'll keep you informed.
This lap-top, and therefore your email addresses, will be going with me to
Charleston later this week. Please say a prayer for my Grandmother. 

Trying to hang onto the good memories, very sadly, I remain
