View Full Version : Lino Perez RIP
On Saturday May 22, 2010, we lost a fellow member and a true friend. Unfortunately, we find ourselves with a sudden loss that no one can ever prepare for or understand. He was many things to everyone here with his love of bikes, guns, girls, God, and wit. He leaves behind a great deal of family and friends who will always remember him for the unique way he has touched each one of us. Please feel free to take a moment to personally reflect on those memories and that we celebrate his life.

As I said in the other thread, I never got to meet him, but he seemed, even on the forums to be a sort of larger than life, adventurist kind of guy that was just all around a fun guy to be around. He was one I had hoped to meet next time I was in South Florida and I am saddened that that will not happen now.
If it were anyone of us, I think Lino might just have posted up tits in our name.
RIP
I did get a chance to meet him and he was definitely a great guy. I think it was funny that he indeed wanted to live his life as full and rich as possible to the point were he earned the :lino: smilie but was still known for his dedication to his Taurus and to take advantage of the good deal when one came knocking. I think I will always smile when I hear someone use the word clip instead of magazine and know that he gave me a hard time for that pet peeve of mine. :cheers:Cheers to lino who knew his beers :carbomb:, a nice set of tits, and a great attitude in life. I am at peace knowing that he is with his Creator now. Godspeed.
Not knowing him on the a level as some but knowing him, he will be missed. He was a real good guy. He had the ability to instantly bring a smile to my face with some of his posts and antics. I have never met him face to face but talked on the phone with him a few times, I always assumed I would get to know him better. I am truly sad I did not. It is always a big loss when we lose someone that was as great of a person as he was. Thank you Lino for all the laughs. Rest in piece friend.
Lino was a good guy, I had the pleasure of meeting him on several occasions. Whether it was at a bike night or a local ride I always knew Lino was there as he would bless me every time he saw me. Lino knew of my anti-religious beliefs and never stopped joking with me about it. For the past several years we have joked about seeing each other at church on Sunday's. I last saw Lino when he drove up to Guntech to see me about his conceal weapons permit. After we settled our business we got to hang out and chat with everyone. He was an instant win with customers that were in the store around him. He was just that kind of guy, if you heard him speak you would start to laugh and join in on the fun.
RIP Lino, you will be missed by many.

this really hurts...
lino was my friend, one of the few remaining people on the sofla forum who i would speak to. we rode together and went to the range together. he was like a big brother to me. i should have gone to the gap with him, but i really couldn't. i'm going to miss him a lot. i don't have many friends who i can ride motorcycles, shoot guns with and still share the same family values as i do. he was one of a kind.

Yh I'm in shock. Really struggling trying to focus on work right now. Sad sad day. My wife doesn't even want to let me ride now after this...it hit pretty close to home. For what I am feeling I can't even imagine his family and his closest friends right now.
It would be nice to do something in his honor whatever it may be.

I'm hurting too. Been having a hard time today. I couldn't sleep last night worth a damn. He will surely be missed by all and I hope his family can get through this.

just got home from paying my respects to lino's wife. what an amazing woman. she held it together better than i was able to.
i actually went to the range once with her and Lino. she spoke about taking her son soon, and that Lino would want that.
i can't imagine putting my wife in the same situation. this hit pretty hard, i'm putting the for sale sign on my bike now.

Yh I only met him twice but did talk to him a lot via the forums and it hit pretty bad. I was pretty amazed. That would be cool I think for the son to go to the range and play with his father's toys. I have been thinking about the same thing ie putting the bike up for sale. Been going back and forth on it.
Let me know if we can do anything for them!

Well dang, Im sorry to hear this. Ive found the internet is "funny" about the passing of a "net buddy". It seems that even though you have never met in person, its a dramatic loss anyway, "Yeah I knew that guy, well sorta, I never met him in person but we talked, ALOT!." Well alot of you guys did know Lino well even though you never met in person. Ive had this happen to me on another gun forum and it was a real letdown for me too, I mean its not like you can drive over and comfort his family or just call his Mom and say "Yeah, if you need anything let me know". He's gone, his modem no longer speaks for him. That was your link to him.
Lino, brother, I didnt know you well, but I kinew you enuff to know you will indeed be missed here on TacAdv, and I bet you wish you could drop in and say a few final words, I know we do.
On a personal note, I sold my bike years ago too. "Cagers" had no respect for my personal space.
God bless you and your family. Greener pastures buddy.

Yh I think something like this or something along this line would be cool. I would even say invite his wife and/or family but I don't know if that would be appropriate etc. I'm sure they are dealing with a lot and also maybe that is a little too much. I don't know :(

I searched through a couple of the bike forums. One had a video made from one of their trips. The one where he picks of the baby alligator by the tail. He was a crazy bitcH!

there has to be tons of pics of lino or taken by him...he loved sharing everything and anything with people. even people he just met for 2 minutes.
they're talking about a memorial ride for him. starting at the cemetery and ending down at gilberts in key largo. i know a lot of you don't ride, but you can always drive down to gilberts? its a great "keys" tiki hut and bar with live music. well worth the drive.
i don' t know if i will go, it's just not my style to mourn or remember a friend by.

Same here Chrismia, but thanks for the info padre.
Don't think of it to mourn, but rather honor him for who he was. Even in a sad event like this Lino will still put a smile on your face.

You going Cris? Not sure
You going Cris? Not sure
Not really sure. I have not really done any big group rides in a long time. I am not really a fan of them due to all the yahoo's that are always trying to show off their ego. I try to avoid people like that. Don't get me wrong I fuck around on my bike but I do it when its not a danger to others.

Today is my first day back home from my dad's memorial service and then I run into this. I'm truly in shocked with the sad news.
Lino was the first member that I met in person from this forum. He was the first to extend to me a helping hand, making me feel confortable as a new member to this forum. From what little I got to know of him, he was a great person.
In this moment of sorrow, I wish my condolences to his close friends and family.
Lino.... You will be missed.......

From how Lino carried himself on here, and from what others thought of him, the only two things I can think of are:
1 - For his kids. I hope your father was the same man we saw him for. May you always remember him that way, and know that he was what a real man is supposed to be. Let him be the standard by which you judge all others in your life; and never accept anything less.
2 - Mid 20th century American proverb. "He who dies with the most toys, wins." Lino definitely won. And there is no shame, sorrow, or sadness in that.

This is just horrible.
Lino may you rest in peace, and may God watch over your family in this difficult time.
seems like everyone else here had the same experience as me, lino was the first to say hi and talk with me about anything, i never knew him personally but from what i do know he was good guy, im sure others will miss him more than me, but i will still miss him.
