When I joined this site and met Bert at Dumont the first time and found out his real name I told him I knew his father (who also was taken to soon). Bert and I had lot's of conversations about the time he and his dad spent at the dunes. He always said his dad was taken to soon and worried about it himself. Unfortunately he was right. Bert was a kind gentle soul and a friend to anyone and I for one am truly sorry that such a great person has left us. I keep Ashley and the kids in my thoughts and hope and know that his large extended family will be there to help. I am truly at a loss. Terry

we truly lost a great person today.... RIP Bert, taken way too young, your family is in my thoughts and prayers. speechless...... so sad

Bert (sanddunesaddict) passed away this morning. That's about all I can type right now. Keep his wife Ashley, his 3 kids, mom, sister, family and hundreds, probably thousands of friends in your thoughts and prayers. It is a very sad day!

Bert's family requests privacy for the next 24 hours. But his wife does also request that we spread the word because he was loved by so many. Rest in peace Little bro.

Such a sad day, I as many here was very lucky to call Bert a friend he will be greatly missed by all of us. He will be duning those big fluffy clouds in the sky. RIP bert.

It's my honor to have been a small part of your life, RIP Bert!
