There is a thread on the AAC board that Gray Avenger died this morning.

He was a very good poster and man and I am sorry to hear the news of his death.

RE: Gray Avenger
I bumped a thread today where he last posted on this forum a few days ago, and mentioned it, but it soon got buried in some renewed sports debate.

GA's name is Ronnie Burrage, and he and I were friends. I last spoke to him by PM Wednesday afternoon.

He had gone into the hospital for bypass surgery, scheduled for 4 pm ET this afternoon. Unfortunately, according to his son who posted on the Memphis board, his heart stopped this morning, and even though he was in the hospital, doctors were unable to revive him.

Ronnie was one of the biggest Tiger fans I know, and I know a lot of them. He was a good man, too. I will miss him very much.

Terrible news. Wasn't expecting that when I clicked on the thread. Rest in peace, Mr. Burrage. BlueHomer, if you read this, my sincerest condolences. I always enjoyed reading your father's posts.

I hope Memphis football continues to flourish and for basketball to find its way soon again.

Hey, can you do us a big favor and see if you can get his name posted in the "Retired Jerseys" section here? Thanks a lot.

My feelings are that the average joe that posts on message boards such as this are very passionate and want their voice to be heard. Gray, your voice will be missed. God's speed to you!

Horrible news. GA was a solid poster and, as Dasville said, he was passionate about his positions. My heart goes out to his family and friends. I will miss him.

Wow ... Rest in Peace.

He and I crossed swords a few times but I always respected his opinions. Sad. :(
