We lost a fellow Rotor head today....

Hey guys, I just got some horrible news. CrashTestJoey, Joey Taylor, died of a heart attack yesterday at 35yrs old. He just got divorced and lost a bunch of weight. Got his life back on track and now this. Goes to show we never know when its our time. Live life to the fullest guys/girls. RIP Joey...

That really sucks. Although some of these people you may never meet in person, "seeing" them post on forums for years it still kind of hits you when you hear something like this. RIP

+1 on that... RIP Joey, my prayers are with your family.

I had one 3 years ago at 37 and pulled through it. I couldn't fathom leaving my family so soon.
