First Steve Lauer (duracoat) last year and now Joe Fazio KG Gunkote. Probably someone you have never heard of, but someone who worked silently in the background to make the industry better. No doubt at least one of your firearms has a some KG product used on it.
"It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our friend, mentor, and head paint mixer here at KG. He fought bravely against heart problems that the doctors said should have taken him years ago, and enjoyed proving each of them completely wrong. As a company we planned for this day and don't anticipate any delays in getting paint out the door. But it's going to be a hard couple of weeks for us, knowing something like this is coming doesn't make it any easier. We are having a private ceremony and a celebration of life party in about a month."
