I just would like to share with everyone here who may have known Start_COLT_BRENNAN_5 who wasn't a real active poster, but he was around for a good bit before he went into the military. I talked to him on facebook and messenger all of the time, talking about football (He was a big Redskins fan) and a big NASCAR fan (Jeff Gordon). I remember talking to him one night for like 3-5 hours when he was really struggling with life and I told him to stay strong and keep going and things will get better, then he got into the Air Force and I told him how proud of him I was for doing something positive with his life and he told me how much I meant to him and how I was always supporting him and helped keep him going. Well, tonight I found out some bad news... I hadn't talked to him for awhile, we'd always talk about Jeff Gordon and football, I wondered why I hadn't seen him for awhile, I went to his facebook page and seen something that crushed me instantly, he passed away. He was killed in a motorcycle accident, hitting someone head-on. I just thought it would be the right thing to do, to share this with SI as he was apart of our community here. I will miss him and I will miss all of good discussions that we had. I didn't know him personally, but we were good friends. This is why I am so against all of the drama on this board that goes on, life is just too short, it can be gone tomorrow, or even in the next second.

I thought I'd share a few pictures of him...





Couldn't help but post this one with his Jeff Gordon jacket..



And lastly one of the drawings he made....



R.I.P. Joey -- I'm gonna miss you! :(

I remember seeing him around here, but we never really talked. So, I didn't get to know him as well as others. Sad to see this happen at all, especially to one of the SI family. No matter how well known he was.

RIP Joey Watson
