Default Sadly a Good Net54 Friend Has Passed Away - RIP Jantz Morey aka Jantz

Sadly Jantz Morey has passed away. I don't have any details but was given a message from an anonymous person through the board. Jantz always seemed upbeat on the board. RIP friend.

So sad, he always seemed to be a really good guy. He was quite young. My family will pray for him and his family.

Met him once at a National. I'm a shy/quiet person, but he saw the net54 pin I had on and struck up a conversation and seemed very nice and humble and easy to talk to. Also seemed like a very happy person.
Only 51 yrs old. Sad. RIP Jantz.

Wow. We are losing too many members lately. Jantz was a great guy, May he Rest In Peace.

Not sure if it was posted here or not but we also lost Gil Maines last week.

I'm so sad to hear that Jantz passed away. I sat next to him at the Net54 dinner at the last Nationals that were held in Cleveland. He was very friendly and asked if I bought anything at the show. I sheepishly showed him a low grade Cy Young T206 that I had purchased that afternoon and expressed concerns that I had overpaid. He immediately replied, "Joe, I would be proud to have that card in my collection." His affirmation made me feel like a million bucks.

I have always appreciated his comments on the board, and he always responded in his posts with knowledge and kindness--a rare combination.

He will be in my prayers. God bless him and his family.

Joe

Unreal...way too young.

I only dealt with him once but it was such an enjoyable transaction, on some signed baseballs that he won in a charity auction on my behalf.
I wish I had followed up more on our newfound kinship, as he had a certain coolness to him that I envy.

RIP from a Net54 bro.

I am deeply saddened to read this news. Jantz was a very knowledgeable and respectful person. He will be terribly missed and always remembered.

Baltimore 2010: I remember chasing a guy down that has this bad ass Piedmont porcelain door push to ask where he got it. This was the first time I met Jantz in person and we immediately hit it off. He also pulled down some great deals on a few ghost images(back when they were a $100 each) for just over face value around $25-30 each. All I have are great memories of a great guy and hobby friend. Be well on your travels my friend.

I am deeply saddened by this news. Thanks to Net54, I first met Jantz at the 2008 National. And, I looked forward to each subsequent National to get together with him.
We would talk T206's for what seemed like hours at a time. We made some great trades, as Jantz would have some really great T206 front / back combos.
A really, really great guy, he will be missed.

GOD Bless his soul....and, may GOD comfort his family.

Very, very sad news.

Eternally grateful for his service to our country, and God Bless his soul.

I, too, am deeply saddened by this news. I enjoyed talking to him every time that I would see him at the National in Cleveland. He always enjoyed hearing about the low end cards that I was interested in. He will really be missed.

So sad to hear this. I first met Jantz in person at the 2012 National in
Baltimore. I found him to be very likeable, honest and a knowledgeable
collector. I don't go to all the Nationals but we made arrangements to
meet up at the ones that I did attend. I didn't go to Chicago last
year but we had already talked about meeting up in Cleveland this year
I will miss his presence and I'll be thinking about him.
