    Sorry to hear about this Joe. My regards to all concerned. Must be tough. Grandson still talks about Connor letting him mess around in the 4R. Damn it...

    Vaya con Dios my brother. I know there’s unexplored mountains and unbreakable yotas with unlimited fuel where you’re going.

    I’ll see you on the trails someday. Until then, keep kicking ass and truck hard!

    I would post a pic of Joseph pissing in a bottle to help get me out of the woods, Connor laughing his ass off....

    I think that will be kept for myself, and smile about it from time to time.

    I gave him a lot of shit about safety after he rolled his 4R the day we went out....and I mean a lot, mostly in text messages.

    Jesus, this is some god awful shitty news. One hell of a guy, came down to help us install the lift on my Tundra and drove back to Greeley in a snow storm to do it, on the day before Christmas Eve no less. Way too early for that good of a guy to leave this world.

    I was just thinking about Connor earlier today when reading a link on TW. And yes, it WAS about a guy rolling a ‘yota and cutting his head open, of course, my first thought was that the guy Punkin’ed himself.

    RIP, you G. D. M!

    I didn't know him at all, but I really enjoyed his posts on here. It's clear he was a good guy and a big part of this community. We are diminished. God speed my friend.

    @speckmon just texted me. This news sucks. I just went snowboarding with Connor a couple weeks ago. He was always nice and outgoing every time I saw him. I appreciate the few times We had together. Very kind and always willing to help anyone. Prayers for his family. RIP
