I vote Bert's wheelie pic as dune pic of the month for June.

Man, it's been a rough day. Just one of many to come too. Things are not going to be the same without Bert around. He is pretty much the reason I got addicted to duning. I feel like it's the end of an era.

Miss ya Buddy!

I only knew Bert for a few years, but he offered his help, advice, and friendship from the very first time I met him as if we had been friends forever. He had a huge heart and was so caring which is rare to see. Bert helped me more times than I can count. He has towed me when I was broke, lent a hand, tools, advice or whatever I needed. And he helped me learn the dunes and was there when I was new and lost the line or had an issue. There were times when I didn't even know he was near, but I look up and there is Bert to help out. He was like a big brother, always watching over the dunes and everyone. We were just starting to talk about kids and introducing them to the dunes now that I am a new dad. He had a lot of great advice and I truly looked up to him as a person, father, friend and Duner. I always looked forward to seeing and talking to Bert and for many more dune trips, talks and experiences. It is so sad, we had to lose him so soon and it will never be the same, not seeing him rolling through the dunes.

Yes, June DPOM will have to wait and June will be a tribute to Bert. Please post up any photos you have in the thread about him.

RIP Bert. One if the most warm hearted guys I've ever met. Since the first day I met him I always felt like I've known him forever...he was that easy to talk to.

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.

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

For anyone who would like to help out his family, we have set up a donation account for Ashley and the 3 kids. Any amount helps. http://www.gofundme.com/bert-coe-family

I loved Bert like a brother and appreciated his friendship. I am shocked as everyone else if not more. My prayers for Ashley and the kids.. I might have to breakdown and eat some cookies and Milk in his honor!! RIP Bert .. Big Buddy Capt

Bert photo submissions ?

I met Bert the first time in person when he pulled up to tow me back to camp after my son and I were hit by another rail. It was as if he knew me already and no big deal, that's what we do. The thing is we hear that all the time but Bert lived it. I have seen him cut a ride short to go rescue someone in the dunes. I also always respected how he would fly the US flag high and proud and would light it up all night. I didn't know him as well as most here but enough to know we all lost someone special. We should name a hill or bowl after him.

Pretty sure I won't win DPOM, but if I do, I would like to remove my entry and request that a picture in memory of Bert be on the homepage.

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

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

Homepage looks outstanding.....

I know everyone would go for thatGood idea

He was always nice and always helpful to me. He was one of the good guys, even rescued me out in the dunes a time or two. One of the few genuine people I ever met. He will be missed, my thoughts go out to his family.

Bert passed away this morning around 11am from a possible cardiac arrest while in the hospital, he had been there since the weekend, official cause of death is pending autopsy.

R.I.P. Bert......my thoughts are with Ashley and the kids. You are missed already my friend.

A great guy that will be truly missed....I was just scrolling through some texts that he sent me and every one of them was about him helping me out in one way or another. I am sincerely sad that I won't be able to return the favor. We will miss you buddy!

He was a friend to all and will be dearly missed. I bet the dunes up there are SMOOTH SMOOTH!

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.

Very sad, I am glad to have known Bert and call him my friend, I will truly miss him.

So sorry to hear this. I only met him briefly, and found him to be a great guy, but I know what he meant to everyone here. Rest in peace Bert.

Oh man..........How very sad.....thoughts and prayers to his family. Rest in peace Bert.

I just heard. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. If there is anything I can do? Fund raiser? I'm willing to help anyway I can. Bert was a great guy. He will be missed by so many

Rest in Peace Brutha Bert, Love ya!!! Our prayers are with the family (love you too). One of the best guys you will ever meet, he would give you the shirt off his back. Bert, you are missed by many and loved by all!!! Anything I can do, please let me know.....Semper Fi, Woody
