Important

Don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said, just wish I'd been able to spend more time with him. Feel like I lost my little brother...

So glad he was able to get to Moab, I know he had a great time there.

I thought I had a pic of him sleeping on my sunroom floor with the other Indiana guys that came for Brewfest, but I can't find it. Did find this though...



And I had to crop this one a bit, tooth matching grill...

Speaking of Flex, on teh go fund me page, it has a yellow XJ, did he have that before the blue one?

Never did I think when I shook his hand and said goodbye to him at the the Crawl would be the last time I would ever see him.

Byron, your post hit me square in the feels... :bawl:

Tell me about it. Now who am I going to yell at for keeping me up all night sawing logs!?

Byron - That was well said. I thought I was finally starting to get through the emotions, but you found some more.

Pretty sure that was Dr Moab's jeep, I believe Aaron went out there to hang out with him once, besides the 2013 Moab trip.

The yellow XJ is Dr.Moab's rig that Aaron got to pilot on their journey seeing the backcountry of Nevada. Dr.Moab has a write-up of that adventure somewhere, maybe the IC Chapter forum?

Ah, I haven't been around that long so I didn't know if he had something else before.

Sean Ryan and I are going to Aaron's funeral. I hope to see some familiar faces there. I think Ryan ward, kris peters, and Andy bagwell are going too.

 

[macgyvr]

I'll be there for at least the funeral and maybe longer.

Yep... I was all good until Byron mentioned the rumor of Aaron making it out to Moab.

 

[Cottontail]

There are a bunch of guys from the SEC coming - me, Ed, Mark, Tim, Andy, and not a handful more traveling up with Tim. Any of y'all bringing your Jeeps? If I drive up I'll likely bring mine. It's closer than Harlan...

 

[terrehautian]

My Jeep will be there.

 

[Cottontail]

Ed, Mark, and I will be there for breakfast. See y'all then.

I can only imagine what the scene outside the funeral home will look like - one side of the street with big old dirty jacked up jeeps backed into parking spaces, and on the other side, low slung tricked out racecars backed into their spaces!
