Damn, and it seemed like he was finally going to be on the upswing after battling so many issues.
Farewell, Ron. Your positive attitude was an inspiration to all of us in KN.

So sorry to hear this. FBDragon was a good one. We will miss him.
Some of the scenario bird profiles I did of the planes he 'flew' in those events. Seems to be a theme in them for FBDragon :)

Oh no, Dragon flew with us in FSO and MA for many years. He always had a good story, a great attitude and always helped a squaddie. This hurts.
A true KN legend and a great man who I'll never forget, rest easy Ron.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO :furious
Dragon was my Second Gentile (not a BlackWidow Squad Mate...that I hooked up with TIR), in the FIRSTPAR Pay It Forward Club! From 2016 Chilli was FIRST....BUT Dragon was the feller that Solidified my Pay It Forward endeavor/Attitude :rock He was Down Right Giddy, when UPS showed up!!! Chilli was also as Giddy...but I got to fight/fly with Dragon, more often!
Both of us, being Disabled, we shared some GREAT STORIES, along the lines of "FU Disability"!!! Cue Monty Python's Holy Grail clip...."I Have Me 190-A8 to fight you with!" "Sir Knight,
I have a Spit 16 and you are Vanquished(paraphrased)!"
Last time I talked to him...He was saying he was "BBQ PIT MASTER" :O Propped his feet up towards his Wood Stove...and cooked off a couple of toes!!!! Neuropathy and Diabetes...nothing to mess with? That "Cooked Them Off" attitude, solidified him into my Family! RIP BROTHER Was an Honor, to meet ya! :rock

Goodbye Dragon.
Always loved flying FSO with you and KN when I could.
You were positive mental attitude personified, and the place won't ever be the same.
With sadness

He just got back to playing and flew with us Friday, if only we knew it would've been his last.
Such a great guy and it seemed that no matter how life knocked him down, he got back up with what I can only describe as the most incredible attitude I've ever seen from a person.
Blue skies and tailwinds to a military vet, great person, friend, squaddie, and valued member of the CM team. :salute

This is Dragun's/Ron's Son, Phillip or Lizard, whichever you would like to call me, i hadnt known that it was posted yet, i was gonna tell everyone once we was in the game with my own voice but im glad that yall know, i would still like to get on in 2 hours for those who have seen my post on here, but thank you for all the kind words about my dad and seeing all the salutes too, it warmed my heart, forgive me if i fight to keep it together later while online,its still so very fresh to me and my family, he loved this game and he loved the time he spent with all of you just as much, i remember the nights sitting next to him as he would fly, then times came where i started to fly alongside him, not as much as i shouldve or now wished i wouldve, but it was some of my best memories that i have with him and i will always keep them dear to my heart, he always flew the A-8 and i flew the A-5, I think tonight im going to hop in his plane to pay my own respects aswell, but dont expect me to maneuver nearly as well as he did, i may be a legacy, but he was a legend.

FBDragun was a great person. He volunteered to help with FSO and became a CM to help run our events. I spoke with him (on game and phone) on multiple occasions about the game and FSO. It pained me to see him go through his struggles.
As morbid as this may sound, I am relieved that he is no longer suffering.
I want all of you who fly FSO to know this. He toughed out several FSOs as a CM to provide everyone with entertainment. He had a passion for this game and its future and he got himself involved to help keep things going.
I am saddened by this news and this one does hit me a little close to home. I will miss him.
May he rest in peace and may his family find comfort that Dragun is no longer suffering.
Skal Brother! May the gods favor you in the afterlife.

A clip from my PMs, with your dad! WAS THIS YOU? This made MY YEAR :rofl Your Father was an INSPIRATION to me! I found him, and was able to send him a TIR, when I was in a Dark Place with Multiple Sclerosis! His attitude towards what he was facing....shook me out of my Depression! Just like finding my Blackwidow Boys, and my Unsung Legends guys...pretty much saved my life! SERIOUS!!!!! BEST Money I have ever invested :rock

Since those 4 year from my quintuple bypass I have had 2 more silent heart attacks and we found that out after I failed my stress test and they did a cath and it showed out of the 5 graphs 3 are 100% non repairable and treatments are meds now so I sleep pee every hour to keep my heart from overloading So ya my son stopped scouts cause i always went camping and hiking with him,,,, these days it kills me to cut my lawn and keep my new home and property show quality for a trailer park since I lost my house I loved. My pc finally died so I am on my phone My wife is keeping up working even though she just went thru double thumbs replacement but ya life is great these were things Ron and I talked about on
Private channels his death hurt me as much as Dr7 s cause I basically knew them both from the air warriors days and early Aces High. Sorry for the hijack all

As nurse, a patient and one with cardiovascular issues in my family genes - I absolutely hate when I hear Drs say it’s all about the medications now.
Those diets are quite hard to follow and stick with, however eating better certainly won’t make things worse. As always, check with your doctors about interactions with foods you aren’t used to and your medications.
