I didn't know you, but wish you peace. As I sit in bed putting my 2 sons to sleep, all I can say is if there are any members of our community hurting, please reach out... We all share in each other's triumphs and pain. I am there for you my friend and brother. Your pain is my pain. I will walk with you and hold you if you need, and I know you would do the same. RIP racer. George
RIP, and for all the guys on here ( an me) life sometimes sucks and hits you hard, but its never fair to put the people you love through that pain. I'm not there and never will be, but I didn't live his life or know what he felt. GODSPEED down the next race track
I didn't know him but from his posts here he seemed genuinely a good person and had a great sense of humor. He touched more lives than he could've known because I'm gutted and numb, despite never having a conversion with him. RIP racer.
I used to be on the beeb alot, maybe too much! But there were certain folks on here who knew which side of the universe I was coming from. Dave K, PaPa, Putter..... Felt like I had a good friend even though we never met. RIP my friend
"Hey Brad, suck my snowcone..." That line still cracks me up. I'll miss the banter we had during football season and the conversations about deer hunting. Goodbye, Erik, I'll miss you.
It's been a rough day for me once I heard. Someone had bumped an old pic on his FB wall from when we were hanging out I wondered why and then a few hours later I saw the post on FB He was a good friend to me during a very bad time. A very genuine good person and guy. It upsets me that I couldn't help him back. The last I heard from him was not too long ago. He posted on my FB for my first race day. He knew what that day meant and it made me smile when he did that because I hadn't talked to him in a long time. He loved his little girl with all his heart. It had to be pretty damn bad. My heart breaks for him and his family tonight
His "date" with flygirl was one of the funniest threads ever.. the guy had the most wonderful sense of humor..I'll miss your posts leg humper. Best wishes to his daughter.
Thinking about this a bit, maybe in a week or so when the sting wears off a bit we do a thread celebrating Erik. Laugh with him at some of the awesome things he did. Better to laugh than cry.
This is just so depressing. What a sweet man he was. But to speak to Dave K's point, already it is laughter through tears.
