Thanks to the FB group notice, Bill. On another note, there was a WRB WRX at MCCC yesterday with "SHERWOOOD" across the back of it in painter's tape.

Thanks bill. I had no idea about it but i joined!

Wow...I just read the Entire Thread, And Like many who have posted before me...I've never Met Sherwood personally...I'm sure we've been at the same meet together but never had the pleasure to meet and talk with him. May he Rest in Peace. It's a shame to see someone go at such a young age, and I firmly believe he had a great attitude on life...on I share with him...Life is way to short to take anything for granted.

I'm going to try and flip my work schedule around so I can head up to the Meet on the 18th...It would be nice to see some old faces from here...I havent been to a TST gathering in AGES.

RIP Sherwood.

So why did he pass away. It sucks because i wanna knwo why...why did god take away this friend.

I'm sure we will find out in a few days. RIP Sherwood.

Damn, this is a dose of real life. I never knew him but Ive seen him post and I know he was much loved by many on here and off here. Its crazy to think about it. that someone can be perfectly healthy and functioning, and then go to sleep and just never wake up. When I saw this thread I obviously figured car accident like so many others. But the reality is kinda blowing my mind because it defies explanation. This is about as sudden as it comes and in a way is made harder for his friends and family because there doesnt seem to be a legit reason for his passing. Well to everyone who was close to him, at least take comfort in the fact that he went peacefully....which is more than many people get. He's on to a new chapter now, he will be missed, but one day we will all make the same journey. It is only a matter of time. Do not fear death, for with one end there is a new beginning. RIP Sherwood.

My friend saw his obituary in the newspaper.. how depressing to really know for sure that it certainly happened :(

I never met Sherwood but he sounds like someone I would've chilled with. R.I.P big guy. My condolences to his friends and family. Does anyone know what happen?

Its not a Santa suit. Its Reese's race suit lol at the time red was the only thing available and time was short.

Did not know about this, joined.

everyone just chill with what happened! it was natural he passed in his sleep peacefully and in no pain. god said it was his time! thats it nothing in between!

Everyone is thankful for that. he has moved on, it has more to do with those he left behind. People are rational, and when something terrible happens, they want to know a rational reason for it. Not knowing makes it harder on everyone involved because there is always a hole in the situation.

couldnt have said it better myself.

Gee im sorry id rather know why my friend died being hes so young. Saying he passed naturally in his sleep? Hes a young person....We don't just pass away in our sleep, now if he was a 80year old man it would be a different situation.

All i want is answers

if you were really close with him, you would just ask him family, because if they knew you, then they would be able to tell you.

dude same here man.

im usually getting a call right about now asking if we are going to our normal white castle meet.

this is how the convo would go basically every saturday, in good old sherwood style:

me:hello
ryan:sup dirty rican
me: *lulz* sup cracker
ryan:hows my gf
me:which 1?
ryan:ur mom
me:LOL
ryan:tell her to start making my cofee
me:**** u make ur own or go to dnd
ryan*insert his stupid laugh here* we going to the meet?
me:yessir
ryan: better not be late like the rest of ur spanish kind always are
me:*lulz*
ryan: im serious dont be late or ill come over n drag ur ass here
me:ok ok i wont
ryan:aight fag boy see u in a bit
me: ok teletubby


**** man.:cry::cry:

I was close to ryan as a friend, but obviously since im from PA i never met his family.


So that being said, do you know ALL of your friends family?

Justin, I think its time to let it go...

Me and sherwood weren't bestfriends but if I saw him at meets and keith and susie get togethers we always chilled and talked so we were deff friends. He was a great guy and I wish I saw him outside of gatherings. He had a great heart and had an always sarcastic happy way to look at life and that IS what made him sherwood. I still don't know what to say or how to react to this because its absolutley mind blowing that someone so nice and had a big heart can just be taken from us. To his friends and family I send my condolences. RIP ryan sherwood you will be missed.

i don't want to dig into this... but there are natural causes of death that are not reliant on age. it is just very very VERY unfortunate that our friend Sherwood was the one to have experienced one of these natural causes.

scape is exactly correct here, I almost lost my life july 1st from a blood vessel in my head bursting, **** happens for unexplained reasons, and for that one guy, just back off of trying to find out what happened, when someone finds out they will tell us, its irritating seeing every couple posts "but i want to know, waahhhhhhhhh", everyone wants to know but the matter at hand is that this site and all his friends lost a great person

when i meant you, i meant it to refer to the general public of this thread with the same question as you, not specially you as in omgzturbo. so that being said, to answer your question, for the people i care about, yes i know their families. to the people i meet throughout my life that we call "friends", maybe not. a friend isn't just any nice person to that i meet. they would be acquaintances. if one acquaintance happens to impact my life in a certain way, whether it be big or small, then they would be considered a friend. if someone would become a friend of mine, i would like to get to know them, which is the main way to strengthen a friendship. so if i didn't know a simple thing like my friend's family, how well did i actually know the person? maybe you should think about that. maybe not. regardless the man died, why don't we let him R.I.P.

im sorry i sounded like a d*ck its just still not real to me and i just hate saying things on here cuz everyone sees it even thos who didnt know him u kno! if u wanna know anything else private message me. and again im sorry for sounding mean its just so weird like this is a horrible dream.

Yea some of you guys have to calm down, people who barely knew the guy are all over this thread.

I saw Ryan at some meets, some parties, but it was enough to see he was an amazing person.

I will be at the KrazyHouse memorial meet, but the viewing isn't a place for me, I didn't know him well enough and would be out of place among his true friends.

Hope those of you close to Ryan can cope with your loss soon, I know it's hard.

thats what im saying if people have questions just message me and if i cant answer them myself i will get the answer from someone! its just not needed on this thread. this thread was ment to talk about the good times with Sherwood and to express your feelings about everything. anything personal should be talked in private!!!

I'll never forget how he used to always come to Keith and Susie's parties, even though he lived so far away, I can't remember a time that I was there and Ryan didn't at least stop in for a few minutes, always bringing good times. Just knowing how important he was to his friends and our whole community makes it hard for me because I know we lost someone truly special to so many people.

i hear you but we have these great memories to remember him by and trust me he will never be forgotten. now he will watch done on all of his friends and family. and one day we will all meet up with him again. and i know how everyone feels cuz he was more then a friend he was like family to a lot of people.

Extremely bold and amorphous statement.

Don't expect people not to be apprehensive about the loss of someone's life, whether they knew the person or not. The contingency of the situation doesn't help either.

How about everyone just lets the thread remain about Sherwood and not bull crap stemming from it?

Even after today I still can't believe this is real. I won't let myself but I am glad I was able to pay my last respects to my best friend. I don't think I would be able to live with myself if I didn't.

Wow, that was easily the hardest thing i've ever had to do in my life. I seriously lost it and couldn't breathe because I was crying so much, that's how hard it was. Sherwood's mom Penny had to come over to say my goodbyes to him and she made me realize that we need to remember the good times we had together. He died peacefully and she couldn't stress that enough. If I can remember sherwood for anything, it was for how big his heart was, how loyal of a friend he was, and how much he laughed! Seeing all my friends and the 666 members there for sherwood was the only thing that made me happy. RIP BIG DAWG, I'm going to miss you!

3 big brothers driving subarus forever!
Sherwood-Melo-D

I'm choked up reading the posts.. I hope y'all are finding solace in knowing he passed peacefully.. I can't even imagine how heartbroken you all are. Love y'all.

I didn't make it down there tonight, but assuming everything goes, I'll be seeing everyone Tuesday?

I will be goin to the early wake 2morrow which is at 2pm sadly I cannot make the funeral on tuesday since I have to be at work I will be paying my final respects at the wake and attending the memorial next sunday

I don't even know what to say. I met Sherwood a few times at random car meets, always a really cool dude who loved to just laugh and joke and have a damn good time. Really cool guy, great friend to those who had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with him. Very upset to see him pass.

RIP Sherwood. You left a lasting impression.

I spoke with his father last night, I see where he got his qualities from. He had a great family. It was soo hard saying goodbye last night because it was just so sudden. I'm going to miss him alot. All I could think about was next time people came over I wasn't going to get my phone call from him looking for directions again! He has this personality that is unmatched. No one could do something to completely change the atmosphere the way he can. I'm going to miss him.

D, I saw you and Suave but I really couldnt and didn't really want to talk. I'm sorry man.

I met him a bunch of times at meets in Hamilton, this is awful news at such a young age. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP man. Only the good die young.

I went to the wake this afternoon and met his parents and sisters they all thanked me for coming and showing support for Ryan!!! I was getting choked up I didn't know the guy all too well even though he posted a lot on here and NJ Tuners. im glad I came to show support and love and thats what the family needed as well as his close friends.its so hard to stomach a member of both forums passing on at such a young age.I wish I could be at the funeral 2morrow but definitly be there for each other guys!!! it is going to be a very hard and difficult day!!! the man will be missed by all. I could see him now coming to the white castle meet on sat night in his r32 or the jetta and chillin with us b'sing with franklin and then hanging out for a minute. once again R.I.P. ryan your tst/njt and 666 crew love and miss you!!!! godspeed good buddy!!!!

Well never had the privilege of meeting Ryan, but I really wish I would of. His posts cracked me up, and seeing someone so young pass is always sad. My condolences to the ones he left behind.

Rest well buddy!
