Gazzman - a Eastern Cape Legend 15/10/2013

[Swallow]

It is with a heavy heart that I share that Gary Kent lost the battle with cancer and passed away today. Gazz will always be a legend in the Eastern Cape. A brother to many, a guide to noobs, one hell of a great guy.
He touched the lives of so many.

Gazz - RiP - Strongs to Sandy and his family and friends. Respect to a true legend in biking
No more pain...ride free!

True that, was just so easy for the majority of bikers to use the newsletterfor reference purposes, feedback and information about upcoming events etc...definitelygoing to be sorely missed! Another aspect many haven't given a thought to wasthe biker networking capabilities Gazz had...need something done, wantsomething obscure, but from within the biking community, he had a data basethat listed all that, e-mails, phone numbers, what they do etc.,etc., not thatBiker Business web page, a personal data base, something that is now sadly lostforever. We lost a brother in biking yes, but we also lost so much more when itcame to his contribution to organised biking here in the EC. I had 4 years ofGazz staying with me…he used to **** me off sometimes, coming home ****ed at3am, revving the bikes and making a nuisance of himself and scaring the oldlady across the road. If he wasn’t a biker I would have kicked his ass out ofthere years ago…but the next day he would always genuinely apologise with a sheepishsmile, offer a dop as compensation and tell you all about theevening…or what he could actually remember! Lol!!Coming home in the evenings, Ialways used to unwind first with Gazz, talk a load of nonsense, but aboveall…laugh a lot! Man we laughed a lot, that I will always remember withfondness. He was obstinate, opinionated, stubborn and downright difficult attimes…but his heart was in the right place, he lived and breathed biking…andwould take the shirt off his back without asking if he saw/identified the need. I miss himterribly, more so than I thought I would…and I’m not ashamed to say this pastweekend, I cried more than I have in many years…I lost a true fellow brother and a goodfriend. The past few months, whenever I left Gazz, I would say,” I love you mybrother,” and he would reply the same, something that I know was difficult forhim to say…something else I’m grateful for!! Pastor Ziggy mentioned at thefuneral that 2 weeks ago Gazz gave his heart to the Lord, something I didn’texpect…but wished for, so now I KNOW we will meet again soon, and ride thoseKawasaki’s like never before!! RIP my brother!!

The best in life is that we find a true friend. It sounds as if the two of you were true friends.

May you find kindness and gentleness in the days ahead and that the fond memories that you have, keep your heart safe from pain.
