We are deeply saddened and we regret to acknowledge the passing of one of our great guiding lights: Ron Gibson, our leader and teacher in pursuit of establishing our land and soil claims and recovering and reconveying all titles and grants to our possession under our lawful standing --- has died, July 16th 2025.
Ron suffered for many years from cardio-vascular illness, but he kept going and kept teaching right up to the end. His determination to help people and to save American homeowners, small businesses, and farms was iron-clad. He brought all his Marine training to bear and never gave up.
Ron's leadership on this issue, his research, his book and instructional videos and classes, have helped thousands of Americans to recoup and recover true ownership claim to their land assets, especially throughout the Western States, where the absolute need to secure these rights and benefits has been -- and continues to be -- a very serious issue.
Ron Gibson and David Straight have both passed on this year, which is leading us to contemplate the aging of our leadership and the need to bring forward new blood and another generation. These younger folk following in our footsteps will bring new skills and new insights and new energy to the effort. We willingly carry the torch, then pass it on, having contributed our bit to the greater whole.
Ron Gibson has passed on a great big "bit" --- a chunk of uncommon wisdom and knowledge that is fundamental to our understanding of property rights, land, and land claims in this country.
Looking back and seeing how our work and advancing it has been made possible by the research and determined effort of thousands of other Americans who grabbed hold of their piece of the puzzle and passed it on, we can only say that future generations of Americans are already greatly in the debt of Ron Gibson.
Thousands of Americans sleep safer in their beds because of Ron and his work, and you can't ask more of a great warrior than that.
Ron would have loved the new Bucolic Living Law website, which has been hand-built to make it easier for Americans to publish their land patents and grants and chains of title:
Ron often admitted the difficulty of posting your whole claim for sixty days in a proper public way and location. We finally have the means to make it streamlined and easy. And official. He would have been delighted down to the soles of his feet.
Yes, Ron would have chuckled and beamed and thought, "Well, there's some more pilgrims showing up...." and he would have been glad and grateful that other Americans saw the need and answered, just as he did, just as we did.
For all those who don't know who Ron Gibson was or what he did, we will be tracking down access to his book and training materials over the next few days. Each Assembly is encouraged to order copies for their library and also encouraged to start a Land Patent Committee.
