Unfortunately, I must report that Kevin O’Brien passed away last week from a massive heart attack. Many SSD readers may know of him from work on his blog, weaponsman.com. While I didn’t know him personally, I was an admirer of his knowledge. Kevin was an Army Veteran and served in Special Forces, on active duty as well as in both the Guard and Reserves. In 2003, he deployed to Afghanistan.
He will be missed. The family has planned a memorial service on 11 June. Details are available on weaponsman.com.
