Tremendous Loss
MSG Malcolm Jones, an active member of the Gordon and Wallace Clans, outstanding Soldier and veteran of two wars (Vietnam, Iraq), and more importantly, my friend, lost his 20 year old son today. His son Tyson, who accompanied us to Grandfather Mountain Highland Games two weeks ago, died in his sleep some time this morning. Tyson had been battling diabetes most of his life, and more recently, had brain surgury to remove a benign tumor. MSG Jones left for work this morning after Tyson told him that he felt tired and he was going to rest. When he checked on his son after lunch, he was already gone. Tyson, like his father, loved two things. His country and his Scottish heritage. While neither were Xmarks members, we would often discuss information I had learned here on this forum. And I honor Tyson and his father by telling you of the tremendous loss within the Celtic and Kilted community. MSG Jones asks that you drink a "wee dram" in Tyson's honor, and I ask that you remember both of them in your prayers.
