The tactical world is saddened by the sudden passing of John Noveske, the founder of Noveske Rifleworks, who died in a car accident last Friday, 04 January 2013. His works also have an impact in the airsoft community as the Noveske products produced under licence by MadBull Airsoft are some of the most sought after products by airsoft players.

May he rest in peace.

Here's the post by the company at their Facebook Page.

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.
