For those of you on the ACMB who are not Facebook friends with some of us and did not know but Heaven gained a great person yesterday in that of (KCJayhawk) Colin Gage. He is survived by his loving wife Laura, a brother, two sisters and not to mention countless friends in San Pedro and in the US. Colin had a huge love of San Pedro town in that for the time that I was lucky to know him, I don't think he vacationed anywhere else. Arrangements are unknown at this time but I would like to ask for those of you who knew KCJayhawk to please share a funny story here. I know that the big guy wouldn't stand for any of us to sit and cry as that wasn't how he rolled. I do find solace knowing that he is no longer hurting and that he and Drummer Dan are sitting around laughing and waiting on us. I am going to miss you my friend, I promise to keep an eye on the smoker for you even if they are Kansas City ribs.

Thank you for this, Robo! He will be missed like no other. He credits Marty and this ACMB for being the catalyst for some of the best days of his life.
I will have a Belikin -- put it on klcman's tab.

Bunkie you write good! KC Big Guy was loved and cared for by all. He is enjoying all the ACMB people, and our Belize friends that have passed to the other side. Love a man that cooks. Much love to Laura, sending prayers for her to stand strong. To all the gals that KC loved, which are many.

I only met the Colin and Laura once. I was engaged, laughing, deep in thought provoking discussions. He will be missed by anyone who ever met him once, I'm sure.
Just think of the party we will all have once we are on the other side. There will be a BCs, Estels (Paisano ;-) ) and other great meeting places with all of those smiling faces. May peace be with us all.

Rest at peace, young man! We can only hope to live up to your legacy. Funny story? Hmmmm......try this one. First time I met him face-to-face was at BC's (who knows what year, but it has been a long time). I arrived in SP a couple of days after many others. I saw him walking stumbling up the beach with McGhee, laughing up a storm. When they saw me they yelled out -- "You're almost too late. We just came back from Caulker and drank the island dry. BC's is next!"  Mission almost accomplished.....

Colin was way to young. We shared many a beer and listened to many a song. I'm sure he is listening to music right now. The first time we met some 8 years ago was at BC's (go figure). We had setup a meeting by PM but did not know what each other looked like. The bar is about half full and he walks in looking around and I take a guess and say "KC saved a stool for you". He says "how did you know it was me?" " there aren't many pictures of me around". I said " hell man you look like a Jayhawk" and he responded " and you look like ARIZONA!". Rest in peace my friend. Laura, beautiful lady, all of my sympathy, love and hugs to you. He is no longer in pain and resting on a cloud.
