Merlyn Masters of Liberty Nebraska, formerly a native Missorian and fellow field trialer and bird dog enthusias, lost his battle to pancreatic cancer in the early am hours of Saturday, May 25th.
Merlyn was diagnosed with his illness in February of this year and throughout the time of his illness,am proud to state that I was able to provide care and friendship for him.I am even happier to state that now an old friend's suffering has finally come to an end and that he is now with those whom have gone before him to dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
My only hope is that Merlyn is now at peace and living large once again as he sits atop a beautiful high stepping, fast moving walking horse, following a brace of true all age or class shooting dogs in that sacred place where the land and the horizons go on forever, where the big bottoms are numerous and the edges never cease and where the whistles of the bobwhite quail and cackles of wild pheasants are numerous and heard often and the covies are abundant and truely amazing, where the call of point echos loud and hangs heavy on the morning fog!
Merlyn's remains are being cremated and his ashes will be set free in those wild places that he cherished and held so dear to his heart and a memorial service and gathering of family and friends will be held at a future date. "Via Con Dios Mi Amigo".
