I just read on FB that John Noveske died in a car crash yesterday.

Noveske Rifleworks would ask you to remember the passing of our founder, John Noveske, who died Friday, January 4th 2013 in an automobile accident.

John planned for all eventualities, and wanted to ensure any changes would be as seamless as possible for our customers, dealers, suppliers, employees and friends. While this will be a trying time, we do not expect a change in the day to day operations of Noveske Rifleworks. We would like to thank you for your support as we deal with our loss, and would ask that instead of flowers, you consider a donation to a cause we will announce at later date.

John was more than just the founder of Noveske Rifleworks, he was a loving husband and father, and caring friend.

Mahalo Nui for his contribution of outstanding firearms. Aloha to his family and friends in this trying time. I pray the Lord will give peace and comfort. I Jesus Name. Amene

Wow, that sucks. I just read an article on him in recoil, seemed like a good guy. Aloha to his ohana, may God help you thru this.

wow.  Does that make my barrel a collectors item? lol?

Just kidding.

I feel for his family. He looked like a fairly young guy and had many years ahead of him.  Hopefully the company will continue to make top notch ar15's and barrels so that John's legacy can live on forever!
