Heavy Heart

It is with great sadness that I make this post.

Learned today that a very good friend passed away last night due to complications after a routine surgery.

I still can't believe this is happening and I feel like I'm going to wake up at any moment from this sick dream.

Of all the ways to die.....I've always expected this call would be about a riding accident. I've been fortunate enough to have known very few people who have passed away from riding.

this just sucks. :(

So sorry.....losing a friend is terrible....especially THAT way.

You're in my thoughts and prayers

[Adeptus_Minor]

Sorry Kell :(

I lost a friend a couple of months ago to cancer.
I don't know if it would have been worse if it had happened suddenly, but it still has an unreal quality about it.

[VatorMan]

So sorry. :(

[zlicius]

geez, that's horrible. I'm sorry.

[smileyman]

Sympathies and condolences for you and the family. Keep it all in perspective and enjoy each day accordingly. Life is fleeting...

[z06boy]

Sorry to hear.


Any details ? I only ask since it was 'routine' surgery.

[CrazyKell]

Thanks all.

He had shoulder surgery from an injury he suffered at work a few months back. Told the nurses he didn't feel well after the surgery but they sent him home anyways. At home, his father went to check on him and found him unresponsive and foaming at the mouth. Called 911 and started to perform CPR but it was too late.

I'm still in shock. He was only 36 and I'd just spoken to him yesterday.

His last status update on facebook (totally typical of him):
hahaha. so I'm laying on the bed and a nurse comes and puts a sheet on me. I say " I'm not cold thanks" and she says " its not for cold it because your flashing all the nurses" bahahahahahahaha.

I still can't believe this is happening. Feels like a cruel joke.

That's terrible, Kell. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear Kel...

[CrazyKell]

It's so weird because my day is carrying on as normal.....but it's not normal and it's not ever going to be normal again. The new normal is him not in this world. :(

Just trying to keep myself busy and keep my mind off of it. :(

[Particle Man]

more unexpected than unexpected should be. :(

that's horrible.

That's about all you can do, Mom passed away 2 1/2 weeks ago now but today would have been her b-day. It's weird to not call her and wish her well.....but life does go on and it doesn't slow down for anyone even though it seems like it should sometimes.

Holy crap!!

Sorry Kel

[njchopper87]

:/ Sorry kell. That shit was supposed to help, not hurt. :(

[tached1000rr]

Sorry to hear....

[Curb]

I'm sorry, Kel.

I've lost several people close to me in the past 18 months. It's never easy and yes life does go on, and it will never be the same for you. But just remember your friend and don't forget the good times.

You're an idiot. Go troll somewhere else. Not only do you have no idea what you are talking about, you're doing it in the wrong place....

[julie j]

So sorry for your loss

[CrazyKell]

We did a memorial ride for him last night and it was when it all became real for me. Cried nearly the whole time but it was amazing to see the support and how a group of riders can come together.

I know he was looking down (or up) on us that night.

[LeeNetworX]

How did I miss this thread? Sorry to hear that, Kel.
