He was not that good of a driver when he was drunk. Just because everybody expected him to die in his car, and soon, did not make his destiny any easier to take. You would think after all these years I would have forgot about him. Not a chance. Just one of my friends died in a car. It happened when I was about twenty.

I hope you take this time to reflect on all the people in your life, as we never know when they may leave us. However, it takes the sudden passing of a friend (sometimes) to make us realize it. I still miss a dear friend that was taken from us in a car accident many years ago. I think of him every day. But, the memories become more welcoming with time. They will for you too. Take care.... John What a beautiful tribute to your friend.

However, I figured that the best way we can acknowledge him is to try and provide some comfort, even if it's only in the form of words, to his family. My thoughts and prayers are with you and with his family. Rebecca,

This isn't perhaps the same person is it? She had lost her mom to cancer as well. It just sounds too coincidental and too tragic for this to happen to 2 people! What a terrible thing! My heart goes out to you and your friend for your loss. There's a reason those are called "murderbikes". I just had a friend lose a foot in a bike accident. Too many of our young men die riding these. Please take care and cherish the wonderful memories you have of him.

Peace to his family in this time of tragedy.
