He was an amazing friend and father. He has a precious little girl who was the center of his world. This summer he married a sweet girl who he has known for about 20 years. Yesterday, there was an accident. He was apparently thrown from the tractor and broke his neck.
It is so hard to lose a loved one. I think about his widow, who found him. I think about his little girl who will never have her daddy again. And for his parents who are going to have to bury their son.
For those of us who are still here, we know we will see him again! His faith was evident through his life. There was a time when he struggled, his little boy died when he was only 4 months old. Through that trial, he was able to be there for others who have lost their baby unexpectedly. He told me a few months ago how mad he was at God when his son died.
It is impossible to understand why this happened. There are so many mean people in this world. Why would God let something so tragic happen to such a kind man. It is difficult to accept, but we know where he is now. We know that we will see him again.
Please keep his family and friends in your prayers. No matter how strong our faith is, this is a very difficult time.

Do you ever look back at your life and wonder what all the fuss was about? I do. I can remember crying my eyes out in 6th grade because I didn't make the JV cheerleading squad, and then again in 7th grade. Fast forward to college – I made the cheerleading squad, and it wasn't as great as I had imagined. This blog is for me. Even now, less than four years after I started it, I can read back and see how my perspective has changed. Time changes everything. My life is no exception.

Very sad. Death is always hard to accept and understand. I'll keep his family in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you.
