Unhappy ***SAD NEWS*** Dave (Guitarjunkie28) passed away today 1/30/07****

OK as some of you know Dave (guitarjunkie28) was working with Tony and I (Fris) at our shop Lucky 7 Racing. We were working together as one shop. Lately Dave had been in and out of the hospital because of personal reasons. Today 1/30/07 I got a call from his mother telling me Dave had been killed in a car accident on his way to the shop this morning and died at about 9:30am.

All i know so far from his family is that he was driving his FD down the San Bernardino mountains where his parents live. He was involved in a head on collision with a woman in another car. He died, she is in critical condition.

I need help finding out who Dave was in the middle of doing business with so that we can return the stuff to the owners. I know he was working on a silver RX8 (cosmo swap), silver FD, Blue t2, and red RHD FD. Please if you know these owners contact me.

Here at the shop he will be missed by us. I still cant believe this happened

dammit....Dave seemed like such a great character, I'm so sad to here about this unforseen situation. My condolences, btw, Lil red, this is Ulysses (guy with the black FD that needed the ECU). I'm so sorry i haven't had time to get back to your shop, i explained everything to Dave. I have the ECU still, but i am not using it because i found out my car actually is non cali, i'll be returning it to you, along with a donation for Dave's family as soon as possible. Once again, express our condlences to his family. RIP

- Ulysses.

I never knew Dave personally but it is completely sad to hear about his passing.From the feedbacks that I've read here on this forum, he was a very stand up person and helped out many members.

My condolences to his family. RIP Dave.
