Dennis posted the news this morning on FB but the larger than life Zeke Silva has reached the big clearing at the end of the path.

Rest in Peace Ezidro “Zeke” Silva
One of my longtime friends and casting partners passed away at home yesterday after his battle with cancer. Those of us who knew him were so very fortunate. He touched my life in many ways and opened up so many “fishing opportunities” for me. Zeke was the original inspiration for the phrase “No Fish is Safe” as he pursued anything with fins, yellow perch to bull sharks, from Block Island to Wisconsin. He may now be gone but he’ll always be with me in spirit and memories. Thank you Zeke.

Zeke was a great guy full of smile, life, and laughs. I did not know him anywhere near what others did but always looked up to him. I worked with his wife for a couple years before they moved out west. She just rolled her eyes when I told her I knew Zeke a little from fishing.
