    Unhappy i lost a great friend...

    thanksgiving day i lost a great friend of mine.. chad rigsby was killed in a one car wreck in austell at around 4AM. I cant even begin to say my feelings.. he was a car guy, a 94 turbo miata, worked at r speed for a time, always involved in car stuff.. i met hime becaause we skated together for quite a few years, and had the same passion for cars that i had. some of yall met him earlier this year at my new years party, (he was the short one dancing all night). i dont know why God allowed him such a short time on the earth.. but i do know that all 20 years of it was a blast!
    I know he left this earth in a rush, as he left it at over 100 miles an hour.. why, who knows.. but i will miss him forever...
    RIP chad rigsby..

    PLEASE tell the people you care about that you love them, you NEVER know when you will lose a great person!!!!! We dont know Gods will, all we can do is accept that it was his will, adn a reason for it.. all the people that know me/i know.. i love you guys!!!

    damn, that really sucks. not positive, but farely sure i've met him once or twice too (knew a younger guy that worked at r-speed and had a miata named chad, and unfortunately it was probably him ). if so, he was a cool kid, very sad to see him go.

    i've done it about 9 times since last year. i know all about it. from family members to the my only bestfriend(tasuki/btec pulled me out of a nosedive after his death with a small gesture, i thank them.).and most recently, i buried my uncles newborn baby girl last week..eventually you get numb...............and reality sets in. the only guarantee in life, is death.



    BUT FROM ME TO YOU, JIMMY B. KEEP POSITIVE THAT HE LEFT THE WAY HE LIVED, and with something he loved. dont let deaths' abrupt appearance stop you from still moving forward. and DO NOT forget your friend.

    seeing this, i hate the fact that there is someone else that knows how i've felt for the last 1.5 yrs. burying people i was close to, left and right......sometimes i wanted to burn down the heavens for the pain one feels when losing people so close to you. but it only means that while your alive, you have to live it up, in whatever way you do, til it's time to check out.

    Hey Jimmy, I'm sorry to hear that. I don't think I can hear about anymore people dying. This is getting way too bad. I'll keep him in my thoughts.
