Attn: All Old UC Members, Lost One Of Our Friends

[Brett]

To those few opf you on here who either were in U.C back in the day or hung out with us, John Ante (Used to have the black civic SI) was killed today in a Motorcycle Accident. Someone pulled out in front of him.

I dont have many details but Lamar just called me and told me and I just am speechless right now, John was a great guy who brought a smile to your face and warmed your heart. A Genuine person and friend.

Seems like this is just another tragic bike accident we have all had to read about in the past few weeks.

RIP John, You are always in my heart and memory and know you are a treasured friend and member of my family.

[Leisa]

You will always be remembered John... RIP!!!

this seriously made me ball..

[Civictyper95]

^ya ... damn

[Echonova]

I wasn't in UC and I don't know him, but I would like to extend my condolences none the less. We are hearing these stories more often because it's perfect riding weather. If everyone would just remember to look twice, a man might be home with his family right now. Keep your eyes open, motorcycles are everywhere...

[Brett]

What is so sad to is his wife just had thier first baby a few months ago, and his son came over from the Philipines in the last month to live here with him.

I think so many people now that the weather os good just are not used to looking for bikes again, and then many times people dont look anyways. I cant count when I had mine a few months back how many times someone pulled out in front of me and I think how it could have happened to me as well.

[civic95]

RIP John, see you when I get there.

[Brett]

Yup, thats the smile he always had, I will forever see that in my memory. I am lucky to have known him and more lucky to call him my friend.

Those of you still riding, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be careful, we are loosing to many good people

[quickdodge®]

HIM!!!!

Oh shiit! RIP to the dude. You know I remember him from our KR/UC days. Later, QD.

[AnthonyF]

damn. sorry to hear. Looked like a really fun guy. Not only b/c he is wit a viper.

All the bike riders in GA REALLY need to be careful.

[Brett]

Viper was a car he rented whil ein Vegas, and what makes me laugh now thinking back is what he did to it when he had it for the day, He was just a guy who lived life to the fullest and pushed it to the limit. He was just an amazing person.

Thats always the way. The good ones who want to enjoy life to the fullest usually have some of the worst luck. Thats why im soo scared about getting a bike.

[civic95]

He was a really fun guy. He had one the greatest personalities.

[Brett]

[Brett]

Please tell Arlene I went by the house this morning but no one was there I guess, No cars there but Johns, That alone killed me.... I was sitting in my car just starring at Johns car and started crying. I left work this morning because I started breaking down and I couldnt be there today.

John was larger than life, John lived every day to the fullest and I just cant picture a life without him in it

[Civictyper95]

Their living with John's Cousin right now at Crabapple.

Thats what I have been telling people here at work actually, Him in those glasses was just "John" with that big ass smile. My god I miss him and his laugh and just cutting up with him ~wipes tear from eyes~ damn see now I am tearing up again

[Sammich]

Yeah, Its harder than I thought it would be. John LOVED riding, It was his passion.

[Sammich]

Yeah, Its harder than I thought it would be. John LOVED riding, It was his passion.

i mean..even after my boy got in his accident, like a few weeks after i still had an itch to get one, but every hear of someone getting hurt/dying cuz of BS drivers, it takes me back and makes me think again. i guess i will forever be on the sidelines watching as others ride. all who have a bike please be safe

[Brett]

Yeah after this I will never ride again, I am not buying another bike like I wanted to down the road. To many peoples lives can change in a instant.

[Nomad!]

My cousin was in a very similar motorcycle accident a few years ago. He was banged up pretty bad & spent several weeks in Gray's trauma center. My cousin survived the experience but, he's not the same.

Sorry to hear about the loss Brett. Hopefully the healing process for his family & friends will begin soon.

[Brett]

Thanks man, Right now its just hard to think of a life without him being around ya know?
