Burial and Memorial services are currently being planned. And will be announced soon. In the wake of this unexpected tragedy, hundreds of bereaved among his Turtle Island family will gather soon to celebrate the legacy of a life lost too soon. The loss and sadness we feel is indescribable. Currently, Girls Camp is in session at Turtle Island, so please be sensitive to that fact while we all work through this painful transition. If you’re looking for a way to support his grieving family, please look for the crowd-funding page that is being set up soon to help pay for medical expenses, memorial services and the roof Preston was in the middle of repairing on his family home. This is the last photo we took of Preston only 3 weeks ago as he was teaching at Boys Camp. We love you always brother!”
So sad. I really liked Preston.
That’s one of our favorite shows. RIP Preston and prayers up to his family. So very sad to hear this..........;(
Boy, what a bummer. Preston was a ‘master’ at handling horses which I always admired. His ability to figure out & build just about anything is the kind of American ingenuity that kids today don’t get while exercising their thumbs on their smart phones. RIP Preston.
Terrible, liked that show Mountain Men, liked Preston.
See that canoe he, along with Eustice, built? Beautiful.
RIP, Preston!
Sorry to hear about Preston. He was a young guy.
He had an inoperable tumor. Liver I believe.
Yes.
There is a nice pic (one of the last) of Preston and Eustace at the link.
