John Noveske Killed?

[robbiev]

I've seen a couple of articles online today stating that he was killed in a car wreck last night.  So far, I have not been able to verify it on a actual news station website...all blogs.  Any info?

[TGO David]

Unfortunately, yes it is true.

Same here, as far as I know that's what everyone is saying.

Oh, that's terrible. Life is so short...

Noveske Rifleworks has confirmed on their Facebook page.  It's not just rumor any longer.

WOW, and his rifle barrels are probably the best in the business. His rifles are also considered some of the best.

 

Hope his family can pick up the pieces and continue what he started.

It could happen to any one of us at any time.

So very sorry for his family and the community t followed him.


I bet the filthy hippies are dancing.

From Noveske's Facebook page for those here who don't use FB:

 

 

Noveske Rifleworks would ask you to remember the passing of our founder, John Noveske, who died Friday, January 4th 2013 in an automobile accident.

John planned for all eventualities, and wanted to ensure any changes would be as seamless as possible for our customers, dealers, suppliers, employees and friends. While this will be a trying time, we do not expect a change in the day to day operations of Noveske Rifleworks. We would like to thank you for your support as we deal with our loss, and would ask that instead of flowers, you consider a donation to a cause we will announce at later date.

John was more than just the founder of Noveske Rifleworks, he was a loving husband and father, and caring friend.

What a tremendous loss to the industry, my condolences to his family and may he RIP.

May he rest in peace, this is a terrible loss to our community. Fortunately I have one of his complete uppers on a rifle I built, it came with a hat with his signature which I will now cherish,

May God Bless his family,

I cannot believe that some folks still don't wear seatbelts. Tragic loss for the gun community.

Hate to bump this, but there is too much going on right now to ignore some of this.

"John Noveske is one of the most celebrated battle rifle manufacturers in America. His rifles, found at www.NoveskeRifleworks.com are widely recognized as some of the finest pieces of American-made hardware ever created. (I own one of his rifles, and it’s a masterpiece of a machine that just keeps on running.) Sadly, John Noveske was killed in a mysterious car crash just a few days ago, on January 4, 2013.

According to the Outdoor Wire, his car “traveled across the oncoming lane onto the dirt highway shoulder until it struck two large boulders. The vehicle rolled and Mr. Noveske was ejected.”

But barely a week before this incident, John Noveske posted a lengthy, detailed post on Facebook that listed all the school shootings tied to psychiatric drugs. At the end of the post, he asked, “What drugs was Adam Peter Lanza on?”"

This is the last post John Noveske made on his Facebook page before he was killed:
Eric Harris age 17 (first on Zoloft then Luvox) and Dylan Klebold aged 18 (Columbine school shooting in Littleton, Colorado), killed 12 students and 1 teacher, and wounded 23 others, before killing themselves. Klebold’s medical records have never been made available to the public.

Jeff Weise, age 16, had been prescribed 60 mg/day of Prozac (three times the average starting dose for adults!) when he shot his grandfather, his grandfather’s girlfriend and many fellow students at Red Lake, Minnesota. He then shot himself. 10 dead, 12 wounded.

Cory Baadsgaard, age 16, Wahluke (Washington state) High School, was on Paxil (which caused him to have hallucinations) when he took a rifle to his high school and held 23 classmates hostage. He has no memory of the event.

Chris Fetters, age 13, killed his favorite aunt while taking Prozac.

Christopher Pittman, age 12, murdered both his grandparents while taking Zoloft.

Mathew Miller, age 13, hung himself in his bedroom closet after taking Zoloft for 6 days.

Kip Kinkel, age 15, (on Prozac and Ritalin) shot his parents while they slept then went to school and opened fire killing 2 classmates and injuring 22 shortly after beginning Prozac treatment.

Luke Woodham, age 16 (Prozac) killed his mother and then killed two students, wounding six others.
...

The list is 10x this large but didn't want to post it all.

I really wish we could just not cheapen the unfortunate death of one of the industry's brightest by hanging a bunch of tinfoil tinsel off of it.  Just once. 

 

No offense meant toward you, but I've seen this theory and the theory that he was killed because of the metallurgical patent he had just registered for long life machine gun barrels, etc. both posted elsewhere.  The conspiracy stuff ramped up almost as quickly as the news of his untimely death began to spread on the Internet.

 

Folks, if I die anytime soon it's probably because I didn't lead the healthiest of lifestyles.  Too many cheese burgers, too much bourbon, not enough salads or herbal teas.  It's not because I run a large pro-gun forum for the residents of Tennessee.  Please remember that.

I agree David.  

Let the man rest in peace.  

[ProjectDexter]

I don't understand, what would make John Noveske not rest in peace by reading something that he himself put together. Facts are tin foil hat non sense now?

Fact 1. He died in a tragic accident.
Fact 2. He posted a compilation of mass shootings linked to psychotropic medicine on Facebook. Edited January 10, 2013 by ProjectDexter

Suggesting that it was because of said compilation is the problem.
