Well where to begin. The news has hit hard and I am truly at a loss. Art Lilley you were a True friend, you put the country you loved before everything. The Faithfull commitment to God, family, your country and your friends. You will forever be in the heart of myself and my family. My family's prayers are sent to your family in this time of mourning.

For those that never meet Art, I would like to tell you he was a man of integrity truly the definition of a man with a blessed soul, and a passion for life. While in his presence he had the ability to leave you feeling fullfilled. I myself have been TRUELY BLESSED to have KNOWN HIM..


YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED MAN.

YOUR FRIEND SCOTT YACH

As vibrant as his life was, it's hard to believe Art is gone. A great leader in our community, his ethusiasm and passion for our sport will be missed. Rest in Peace.

I didn't know him, but God bless him. Next time memorial day rolls around don't forget him and the thousands that have gone before him defending this great country.

For those that knew him, he had one of the cleanest, most functional zuks I have ever seen, if only on the net. He was the type of guy you could ask any question to, and he'd always help you in the right direction.

I am posting this with a VERY heavy heart. Today is a very sad day for Zuwharrie. :\\'(

7th Army Special Forces Master Sgt. Art Lilley aka NC_Zuk killed in Afghanistan.

About 9:30 this morning I received a call from Rawling's (Carolina_Zuk) that Art was killed in action while defending our nation. Art is a hero. One of my best friends and one of the bravest men I have ever known. Please make it a point to stop what you are doing today and say a prayer for his family.

Never met the guy, but talked w/ him many times. Even sent him a care package of magazines and other stuff a few years ago.

RIP Art, and thanks for your service to this country!

Jeff, Michelle and Hailey!
