The NWI INGO crew has lost one of its own

[Snapdragon]

NWI INGO member Mark Utley (baddyna96) lost his battle with cancer on July 20.

I met Mark at the first meet and shoot I ever attended. He let me shoot his .44 mag. I didn't know guns at the time, but I imagine it was a Smith 629. We've been Facebook friends for several years and I have followed his battle. I was so sad to hear of his passing. He was a stand-up guy.

He was a good guy. I gave him some 40cal reloads I had learned to make when I took the reloading class down in Indy years back. Met him at the meet and eats and shoots. But didnt realize till yesterday when I put 2 and 2 together that he was my step uncle. My aunt told me Monday her step brother had passed and saw the obit here then saw my step grandmas name.

Snapdragon, Sadclown and I attended the service.
A lot of people there from his motorcycle acquaintances and union brothers/sisters.
I thought the service was very nice.

Yes. Nice service. His Harley was also in attendance, right up front.
