Fellow Minitrucker Gone thanks to a drunk driver

thanks alot man they appreciate the support, this aint no little thing around my town were looking at over 300 + people at the service

my condolences to his wife, family, & friends........if your gonna drink stay @ home or get a d.d. (designated dragger)!!

This is very sad news! My thoughts and prayers are with his family!! Man this pisses me off that 100's of people die this way every year!!

Man I hope the court systems dont let us down and give this guy life or the chair for taking a life in such a careless way! The system also needs to hold responsible whoever/whereever this guy was drinking at a friends house a bar where ever he was they also need to be brought up on charges. And none of this slap on the wrist bull crap either!!! I drink I go out but I know when I have had too much to drive I then have a cab called to take my sorry drunk ass home!!! Or if my wife is with me she gets the keys!

tribute video to the man who was lost to the minitruck world

great video man. it sucks that he wont be around no more but these videos and pix will always have him around.

Nice tribute. Seems like a great guy.
I've also had a friend and clubmate pass away (much different circumstances) and its the memories like those on the video that keep their spirit alive.

A comment on crazymikey:

Unfortuately, it takes alot more than a scare from the police to sober most people up. It usually comes to them losing their license or hurting someone, and then they see the evil in their ways. The laws (atleast in my area) need to be much stricter and the sentences much longer (not that that will deter them).

Hopefully this drunk driver will have to volunteer his time to care for people paralized in similar accidents, and then he can see the pain that these people now go through. And maybe some public speaking to teens on the dangers of drinking and driving.

i cant stop watching this vid man, the way his truck moves is awsome! i showed my wife and she was in tears, very touching. i really hope they do something about the driver who hit him, the maximum penalty!

i saw the video clip off of ssm i didn't really no him but i have seen the truck before and seen his posts before, the video makes me fell proud and sad at the same time...

thats how i feel about it too. its very moving

Very sad news... My wishes to the family and friends...
