MilkboneSkivies AKA Tim Letson RIP

MilkboneSkivies, whose real name was Tim Letson, passed away on Tuesday due to Covid-19. Tim was a friend to many of us here on this site. He was a passionate K9 trainer/handler for many years. It was an honor that I got to know Tim as well as I did. He will be sorely missed. He was 53.

RIP Tim. I will miss you brother.

I chatted with him last week while he was in the hospital and of course he couldn't have visitors.. He said things appeared to be improving, but apparently complications occurred. He went radio silent this week,, which made me nervous. Thanks to Sharky for reaching out, so i could follow up locally. It sucks, period, but not being able to see him, just makes it worse.. fuck Covid.

Rest in peace brother.

Condolences. I always enjoyed reading his views and take on things in the discussions. He was young and looks to be in good shape. God be with his family. This virus, I don’t even know what to say.

Thank you for your service to our great nation through the Military and in LE.


Prayers out to family and friends.

53 is way way way too young..

Sharky: Thank you for following up and posting this information.

EDIT:: Screw COVID, and the protocols regarding visitation. I hope family was able to spend time with him.
