Very sad.

Thoughts and prayers to everyone involved... very sad news to hear.... Jim

Terribly sad. Unnecessary and very, very sad. My thoughts and prayers go out for the family. May God somehow give you peace. As another post above said this reminded him of a personal tragedy, same here as my nephew committed suicide at age 19 on 3/1/2004.

God speed

Your sense of timing for a post like that really sucks .

Very Sad RIP. Don't understand why anybody would do that without a Vest. We were ours anytime we are in our Skater even if a cruise. It is just not a big deal to wear one.

Guys, I am all about safety and I have been in many debates on here about it. With that's said, Please, lets keep the safety debate out of this thread out of respect to the parties involved............. Thank you in advance.

This is incredibly sad. What has happened to this hobby, it didn't use to be like this! I saw the pic on facebook yesterday about the run, they were all so thrilled.. Positive thoughts being sent to the water for these guys, the responders and the families..

Very Sad
Prayers for his family and friends.

I wasn't confused. Are you?

Sounded like another fine and brave person reaching for his best. Sincere condolences to his family.
