I knew just little of him but enough to agree with the comments may he rest in peace and my condolences to his family and friends. I am glad that all remember him with gratitude and the joy he spreaded out to all that deal with him, a very thoughtful and caring young man. Ill miss him too.

It is very sad when you hear of accidents caused by speeding, drinking, etc that result in a death. It can happen to anyone. Speed limits are posted for your own protection. I feel so sorry for his family. They are the ones that are left without a loved one because of a careless mistake on his part. . . speeding!
