RIP tio Meño. You will always be in our hearts<3 My uncle was amazing. I remember when he showed my cousins and I evidence and voice recordings of Bigfoot this one time. They were shocking. And he was the one that inspired me to like these type of things. He also proved to me that bigfoot is real & I know Bigfoot is real. I hope that someday I can be a bigfooter with Bobo and his crew.

Thank you for the response, Mr. Coleman. It just seemed so odd to have so many deaths lately, a cluster as you say. And you are right, of course, about not forgetting the contributions and sacrifices that others have made in the field of Cryptozoology.

I guess I was just concerned over seeing so many at one time. I know many in the field are aging but (from its hey-days in the 70′s) but we seem to be seeing so many younger members too. And I completely agree about the celebrities being over exposed. I know they lived most, if not all, their lives in the spotlight but it seems a bit of overkill to have live funerals on major news networks for hours at a time.

Is this just because you are posting them now and in the past you hadn’t or have we suddenly experienced a HUGE uptick of deaths in the Crypto world?”

For recent readers to the site, especially since you might have just read my list of the “top deaths” at the end of 2011, it may appear that a lot of obituaries have been posted.

But, no, this is nothing new. I have always posted obits in the past. I have published obits on all I learn about, as a way to celebrate the life of cryptozoologists who are often forgotten among the obits of rock stars, sports figures, actors, and political individuals.

I figured out a long time ago that cryptozoologists deserve being remembered as much as a singer or a ex-governor.

Sometimes deaths do seem to come in clusters, and that may be reflected on these pages recently. But that does not mean I didn’t write up every single death that I’ve learned about, without regard to that cryptozoologist’s, Bigfooter’s, or Lake Monster Hunter’s station in life, fame, or involvement in the field.

If I am told about, read about, hear about, am tweeted regarding someone dying, who is connected to cryptozoology, I write an obit for that person, to honor him/her, in tribute to her or his life’s work.

Makes me wonder again why good guys die young and the bad ones live forever.

…Because the former get an early parole due to good conduct?

I agree with flame821.

I’ve been coming to the site regularly, I guess since Finding Bigfoot started, and I’ve noticed, especially recently, lots of obituaries featured here.

Is there a HUGE uptake of deaths in the Crypto world, or is it a staple of the site now?

On a similar subject…. I guess I’d like to know if that guy in Europe’s wife is still missing.

Lots of nice dark clouds lately hanging out the last few months when checking out Cryptomundo.

At least Whitney’s death wasn’t somehow loosely tied to something in the field.

Sad but at least he died doing something he loved.

Sorry this happened as I wish more could be known about him. For example, was he writing a book about his outings? It seems strange that his wife would be okay with him leaving her and his children for “Bigfooting” trips by himself unless he was working on some sort of project. I know women, and most would not be too fond of a husband doing something like that simply as a hobby. I wish someone could provide more information about him and his life as he would be a fascinating person to know more about.
