Obviously we have lost a true Redskins fan. My sincere condolences to his friends and family and all his compadres at CPND. RIP Stephan.

This is so shocking. It truly never dawned on me when I read that news story.

I am like Die Hard.......I have pics of he and I at one of the Hogfests.

My heart goes out to his family.....his Redskin family..........and the Warpath family.

[Commander Adama]

My condolences and prayers to the Miller Family and to CPND.

[Skinsfan1311]

I didn't realize the connection. Our deepest condolences.

[skinsfan44]

I am in shock.

I have been gone the last 2 days fishing and had not heard about this until yesterday evening.

Like Blondie and Die Hard, I too were friends with Stephen and hung out with him at a few Hog Fests.

Thoughts and prayers to his family.

This happened locally to me - I had no idea that there was some sort of connection to my Redskins life.

RIP Stephen.

[Burgold]

My sympathies too. I enjoyed arguing and cheering under another name with Punishment. Best wishes and love to the family.

[Special K]

I'm sorry to hear of this. My condolences to his loved ones.

[chiplohmillers#1]

That guy was a bear trainer. Awesome.

[Tin Man]

What?! I was just telling my boy about the incident, and it turns out to be just that close. Sorry to hear that.

[Utah]

My wife and I were just talking about the choice of what to do with the bear.

Wow. All my best to the family.

[Gary Clark Fan]

I dont know him but thank him for all his hard work in putting together a skins board... A true founding father in my opinion. RIP PUN

[helptheSKINS]

I was watching the croc hunters daughters show this weekend with my son. The croc hunter was on there (repeat) with the same bear. a different trainer and the croc hunter were wrestling with Rocky, the bear seemed very gentle. Freak accident I guess. This is awful news. Sorry for the loss to his friends and family. God bless and RIP.

[PCS]

Met him at the previous mentioned HogFest back when many of us did that. I believe it was one when we had that transportation "issue". Thoughts and prayers to he and his family at this time.

[ST is my boy]

My condolences....always sucks to lose a skins fan (not to mention father/son/brother).

What a brutal way to go as well...

[Mad Mike]

Skins Fans,

This is NOT some kind of spam or plug for CPND/Warpath Insiders/Scout.com

Our forum is in serious mourning right now over the loss of our founder.

Stephan Miller, AKA, Punishment was brutally killed in an animal training accident involving a Grizzly Bear. (The one in Will Ferrell's recent basketball movie, Semi-Pro)

Here is the story: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local&id=6097429

This post is just for anyone over here who may have known Stephan and not heard of this horrible news.

Thanks for reading.

Damn Rat, that sucks. So sorry to hear it. I know how tight all of you are over there and I know it's hitting you hard. My condolences.

[Baculus]

That's just horrible news. I used to post over there and always had a great deal of respect for Punishment.

RIP Stephen - sorry for the loss, CPND. :-(

[Rob Mexico]

That is horrible. My prayers go out to his family.

HTTR!

[SonnyRules]

Our condolences and prayers go out to the family and CPND.

[SkinsMaster88]

RIP. My condolences.

I used to visit CPND frequently in the past, before I focused more on ES.

[Teller]

Deepest sympathies to your membership, and especially to Stephan's family and friends.

Stephan Miller was the guy who got me into doing webdesign for Redskins sites. I did a few graphics for his site before I got involved with Extremeskins, and eventually took over running it with Tony.

Its a sad day for me and for those who knew him. He really was a genuinely great character, and a good guy.

My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

You will be missed, Stephan.

[ABQCOWBOY]

I did not know this man but I offer my condolences to your board.

Very Respectfully,

ABQCOWBOY

[Aston]

So sad, especially considering that he helped raise the bear. Sounds like he was a great guy. May he rest in peace.
