at about 4:50 this afternoon i recieved a phone call from rapanett's best friend. He called me to let me know that he, drew, had passed away in march caused by a dirt bike accident. Im really upset to find this out, he was a cool guy. i sold him my dirt bike off this forum sometime this past winter, and we chilled a couple times and always talked about riding together one day and partying up at St.Joe's. His friend and family are going to be sending me a memoriam (sp?) and other stuff in a few days. just thought id share this with the rest of the forum beings he was a member here and also talked with other people on here besides myself. rest in peace drew.

as horrible as it sounds, what can you do beside learn from their deaths?

Its life, it blows, but its still life.

this is what happened read here : http://www.tristatetuners.com/forum/...406#post278406

and thats true he did love riding dirt bikes and motorcycle's, im also glad it wasnt the bike i sold him cause i would feel so much worse knowing i didnt have to sell him that bike beings i didnt know his riding skills and if the bike was too fast for him or not, but indeed it wasnt mine.

JessDUB · 08-14-2006, 04:25 PM

ive been friends with drew since i was in 7th grade. it sucks he was probably one of the nicest kids i knew.
i went to his funeral, and there were so many people there that a lot of people had to stand. he made a lot of friends.

it was such a tragic accident. hopefully he's in a better place now anyway,

james_ls · 08-14-2006, 11:09 PM

Jess is this the same thing...I thought this thread was NEW...
