The week was going great, I just quit my job to start a restaurant, I was deilivering a Fiero I sold, and I was picking up my chop top at Fierorama...
Now all that seems so unimportant as I just got news that my Uncle was killed in a freak motocross accident. It is funny how the things that seem so important can become so insignificant in the blink of an eye. Thanks for listening...

Wow
Very sorry for your loss, words on the Internet cant really convey the way people feel. I am very sorry for your loss.

Sorry man.

Sorry to hear about your loss Leroy.

Thanks for the thoughts.

what the hell can i say to that?

good wishes sent your way.

Sorry about your uncle. I'm sure he died doing what he loved (not that really means much to you)
Take care, and best of luck with the new restaurant.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, Leroy.

Sorry to hear about your loss. A sudden death like that can be quite a shock. I hope you and the rest of your family are handling this sad news alright.

Thanks to all for the kind words.

You couldn't know how right you are and how much it means to the family that he went doing something he loved. You see, he had been battleing colon cancer for the past three years and he refused to let the cancer, surgery, or even the chemo keep him from living life to the fullest. Most people would have given in and stayed in bed like the doctors told him but he was going to do what he loved no matter what. So thank you for reminding me of that.

My sorrows also. I am sure he died a happy man.

Prayers and good thoughts sent to you and your family. Sorry you won’t make it to the choptop reunion, there’s always next year.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Leroy. I made it to Tucson, pm or email me and we can get together sometime.

...

It sucks when everything is rollin along smoothly, then something like this happens.

Sorry for the loss, man. But, the way I see is that it's better to die how he did, while enjoying life, than to have the cancer kill him while bed-ridden. I would be just like him if this happened to me. Only, I'd be going at high speed on a sweet road course in a little race car like my Fiero or something. Then I'd die doing what I love, racing.

LeRoy,

Sorry to hear about the sad news. Best wishes to your and your family at this time of loss.

Thank you all for your prayers and kind words. The reality has set in and now I am trying to get all the logistics coordinated for what is turning out to be a very large funeral (200+ people)

I don't want to sound like I'm crass. It sounds like he left life much happier than most of us could hope for.
Try to focus on the good times you shared. I can still remember my dads laugh, and sence of humor.

sorrey to hear that,my moms, daughters son, was killed in a motorcross accident.He was headed for a bunch of small jumps,sort of like rows of small speed bumps.He was going too fast,came down hard,bounced off the seat,flew over the handle bars and landed on his head (yes,he had a helmet on)He died at age 16....condolences,James.

Nothing I or anyone else can say how much the loss of a family member hurts.

But at least he went out with his boots on so to speak, doing what he loved.

My deepest condolences.
