Another fatal wreck!

[Blazin]

Two guys I know crashed this afternoon. The driver is in critical condition, passenger died at the scene. S10 pickup went off the road, hit a cement retaining wall, rolled it a few times.
 Passenger was one of those guys he was a harmless drunk, rode his bike around loaded up with fishing gear, because he didn't have a license. Worked enough to keep himself fed, and some beer. Crashed with who ever would let him during the winter, and camped allot during the summer. Honorable discharged Special Forces Marine who was happy living the way he did.  The type that would help a little old lady carry her stuff out of the store. Seen him with a trash bag picking up the side of the road, and not just for the aluminum either! Just an all around good guy.
The driver well I knew him!
Why is it always the good one? I just don't get it!

The passenger sounded just like my Uncle. Decorated Vietnam Veteran, Purple Heart, Metal of Valor....Didnt want a 9 to 5 job, just wanted to get by. Worked enough to buy food and his beer, give you the shirt off of his back if it look like you needed it whether he knew you or not. Spent two tours in Nam and was killed when the gas stove he was trying to heat his little shack up with exploded. He walked 4 miles trying to get to the hospital before he collapsed and someone finally called the paramedics. They were suprised he made it as far as he did due to his injuries.
 I feel for ya Blazin. It is hard to understand why things happen to those who are good as gold even if they dont have a nickel to their name. The way I try to look at it is their job is done here, and they are better than we are. We are here and still have to put up with the idiots in the world. They have it made.

I am by no means religious, but I believe they are taken for a higher purpose.

I'm sorry for your loss of a friend, Blazin. God bless. That ole bottle don't care whose life it takes.
