I'm back in the office......
 

I just wanted to apologize for my unannounced departure from the forums for the last week. On Wednesday morning it was brought to my attention early in the morning that someone I considered a son had passed on Tuesday evening at the young age of 22. He was also a coworker as I had gotten him a job here at CJ's what would of been 3 years ago this August.

Last week was a very difficult time for his family and ours and yesterday afternoon we laid him to rest. So I ask that you please bear with me as I try to catch up on all the emails, forum post and PM's that I have collected over the last week. I will get to them all as soon as I can.

Thank you.

No apologizing needed. Sorry to here about your loss.

Sorry for your loss. It's always hard when you lose friends, especially at such a young age.

My sincere sympathies.

Internet forums and Mustangs don't mean shite when it come to the loss of a loved one, condolences on your loss, spend time with family and friends, not with a bunch of people you don't know on the other end of a computer. 22 man, that's tough to hear.

Condolences to you, and both families. Definitely not an easy time, as I totally understand!

Sorry to hear about your friend. My condolences.

Thank you everyone. Honestly this looks to be the first day back that I make it a full day. Coming back wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be and with him being so close and when I say close I mean this kid was the closest thing to a son I will ever have.

22 with so much to offer. The kid truly was amazing. Always a ball of energy and smiling. He had a thing for classic rock and loved The Grateful Dead and Tie Die, if you found him not wearing one or the other or even both for that matter it was an off day for him lol.

This will take a good deal of time for me to get over but I will do my best to be here for you guys when you need me, thank you all again.

Things will be different. The routines of life change when a left curve gets in the way. I rescently lost my mom back in April, and that was a real game changer. So I hear what your saying in a way.
