^tyrant^ said:Hey guys i dont know if i should be posting this or not, But we lost one of our brothers last night.
Shannon (1338) was killed last night, Nikki his girlfriend came over this morning and told me the horrible news.
I dont know any of the details, All i know is he was driving home from Dillions last night.
If anyone wants to chip in and get something for him mom, i think that would be a nice jester to do, just let me know.
To quote his sig:
"Every day is so valuable and important,because after that day is done, you can never get that day back."

Update:
Ok now that my head is a little bit clearer.
I last talked to him at 4:30pm yesterday on aim, and at 7am nikki came over, and she asked what happen last night, and i didnt know what she was talking about, and thats when she told me what happen. his car was found wraped around a pole and upside down.
aparently he told everyone he was meeting me at Dillions last night, so his family thinks i was with him, and i wasnt. I wish i would have been thoe.
Update:

1338 said:"Every day is so valuable and important, because after that day is done, you can never get that day back." That was Shannon's motto on life. I believe he fulfilled it. He has a heart of gold and eyes so blue you wondered if he was an angel. I can honestly say that I am the person I am today because of Him. He was a wonderful brother and mentor. He was himself and he never let anyone tell him different. I have seen every aspect of him and can still truly say I would give anything for him, because he has done the same for everyone around him. Half of me feels gone today. But, I know it's not. I know that Shannon is in Heaven. The day that he died be posted on my myspace page of his belief in God. He let it be known that he believed in God and he never denied Him. So no matter what happens keep believing because Shannon knew it is true. He's watching over each and every one of us like he has done for me all my life.
Shannon died with a fulfilled life, it may have been short, but he never regretted a second of it. And I bet as he crashed he thought... "Man, that was one hell of a ride." So today and every day let us not be sad or angry at him or even God, but instead rejoice on what a great life he led and what a great person he has made each and every one of us.
Velocifero is right about everything that he posted. Every single post and every single prayer means more than you will ever be able to imagine. And we know, we know that Shannon died for a reason. Shannons death WILL save lives. And he WILL enlighten many people. Looking at these threads I know that it has begun. I saw it in every single person that came to the service. Thank you Ron for starting this.
I can't put it into words how grateful my entire family is for you all. Thank you so INCREDIBLY MUCH and Remember 1338. Like Scott said.."Please remember Shannon and keep him in your thoughts, to me Shannon is a hero because undoubtly he will be there when I decide not to take a risk, and to me he is saving lives. so I'll finnish by asking you to take care, drive safely, use your head, because there are more people than you can imagine that care for you in some way, wether it be friendship, or common passions" Thank you again!!
