Ron Hood... husband of Karen, father of Jesse, US Veteran, friend and mentor to countless wilderness survival and primitive living enthusiasts, passed away in his sleep last night.

He will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear this. I really enjoy his videos and magazine. I would have liked to have met the man. Condolences to his family.
 
wow.
I'd heard he was having some health issues, but was not aware they were so serious.
smoke and prayers to his family & friends who need them.
 
Holy Smokes, I thought he was getting better Rick. I just am in shock.
Thanks for the heads up. I will be saying prayer for the family.

From Karen:
To those of you who don't know, today is the first day that our son Jesse does not have a daddy. The first day in over 20 years that I do not have my best friend, love and husband.

It is with great sadness that I have to announce that Ron passed away in his sleep last night. Our alarm went off this morning as he set it for 8 am and he just did not wake up.

This is the day we were scheduled to leave for our EOTW gathering in Salmon Idaho. Ron, I and Jesse will not be coming.

I just want to scream from the top of my lungs that I love Ron so much that it hurts and that both Jesse and I have been blessed having him in our lives.

I will write more as I get a chance.

Jesse and I love you so much Ron. You were the best husband, friend, teacher and daddy I could ever imagine having.

-Karen and Jesse Hood
