RENE ESCAMILLA WAS A GENTLEMAN, A GOOD GUY, AN EXCEPTIONAL WHITETAIL TAXIDERMIST AND A QUIET HERO. IN MARCH, AT AGE 77, HE FOUND OUT HE HAD LEUKEMIA AND PASSED NOT LONG AFTER ON MARCH 30, 2024. HE WAS A SCREAMING EAGLE (101st AIRBORNE DIVISION), A RECON VIET NAM COMBAT VETERAN AND IN HIS MEDALS CASE ON DISPLAY AT THE CHURCH WERE A BRONZE STAR WITH A V FOR VALOR AND 2 ARMY COMMENDATION MEDALS WITH V's FOR VALOR. I WENT AND PAID MY RESPECTS THIS EVENING, HIS PASSING SADDENED ME.
I HAD KNOWN RENE FOR MOST OF MY LIFE BUT IT WAS NOT UNTIL JUST A FEW YEARS AGO THAT HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD JUST BEEN PART OF TOO MUCH KILLING IN VIET NAM THAT HE HAD LOST HIS DESIRE TO HUNT. HE WAS NOT OPPOSED TO HUNTING AND WAS A TAXIDERMIST AND GAME PROCESSOR FOR AROUND 40 YEARS. RIP Amigo.
