My heart is broken and my face is soakin'.
See youse in Albermarle Saturday.

Guys, if it is ok with Steen, and the club i'd like to send an arrangement from UC. Tragic loss, no words... But I think it is the least the club can do...

More than OK... it's the least we can do. Wish I could make it up there.

I'll send you the number of the florist i'm using in albemarle.
 
This is still kind of setting in! :frown: Such a tragic loss. RIP
 
I'm in shock. I spent hours talking 80s with Logan.

That Whee trip was so much fun (that is me next to him in purple).

He will be missed. I was looking forward to wheeling with him when I got my truck done :(

We should do a memorial to him with some sort of nice marker similar to what GA Cruisers did when we lost Jonathan a number of years ago. His memory is still up in Tellico.
 
I never met him, but this is still so tragic. RIP and prayers for him and his family.

Dan you should know in our many drunken talks and days at work he always spoke highly of you for originally helping him with his understanding of 80's.
 
Thanks for letting me know, so sad. :(
 
Just got back from the wake......... not going to say much about it just that it was very deep.

His Dad, Mom, Sister and Uncle wanted me to convey their thanks to UC for the card and flowers.
 
Just got back from the funeral. It was very well attended and well done, The speaker was superb.
Didn't speak to the family, they were covered up with grief-stricken well-wishers. But I'm glad I went.
His 80 was parked prominently in front of the Funeral Home and his snowboard was propped up beside the casket.
The speaker in her homily said something about hitting every rock and mud puddle because "that's what mud haters do".

Of all the wonderful people I've gotten to know through wheeling he is the one I will miss the most. He was really an awesome kid and I was looking forward to watching him grow into engineering. He would have made an awesome engineer. I was hoping he would come to Greenvillle and go to ICAR.

See ya next time/place kid, I'm proud and grateful to have known you.

Bill didn't see you there, but I got there early and left very late after talking to his parents for about an hour. I then had lunch with the family and then hit up some trails at uwharrie to drink a pabst on Kodak for him and then I went back to the Monk house to talk some more.

I don't think i've ever balled so much in my life than in the last two days. Stay tune for info on a mega Hamom to fix up the truck for the Cruising Carolinas event in September.
 
Hate i was not able to make it down. Here are a few pics i have of him.

Kodak the hard way. Logan could do it. First time I saw it done with a streetable truck was Logan.

Al I'm sorry I missed you. I didn't see a yeti or a lifted 80 so I figured you'd gone Friday night and couldn't take any more. I didn't know we'd met.
I got there about quarter 'til. I watched the video and tried to compose myself enough to talk to his family, they were right next to me. But I couldn't. After the service I touched the box and had to go. I couldn't take any more. I loved that boy like a son.

I've been meaning to PM you. If you have any info on how it happened I'd like to hear it. Better not to go public with it I guess, from the tenor of the service there must have been facets of it that are best kept private so PM me please.

I'm a bit far away for a hamom on his truck but I'd be glad to send some green love to grease the project. I'll keep an eye on Mud for info, you can PM me about costs. And if it turns out I can come up I will. I will probably be in Dalmatia by September but if not I'll come to the event.

Yep, and that was the same trip that i went to URE thinking this kid doesn't know what he is talking about! Logan was talking about take one of the bolts out of the control arm to gain flex and said he was losing slee 6" springs. I thought "no way"

He proved me wrong and i ate crow while i ran down and picked his spring up and handed it to him :grinpimp: He just smiled at me and said "see?!"
