So far there are few details, he was on his way to work at about 5:45am and went off the road and suffered head and internal injuries. No one found him until 6:45, not sure how anyone didnt see him, it happened on a fairly traveled road and he was in plain sight. There were some big rocks and road signs where he went off the road, they think thats what caused the injuries. He wore a Arai helmet and riding jacket at all times, so lack of protection was not an issue. We hope to find out more details soon, thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers.
you know its funny how god works sometimes...we all have looked to him once in our lives and thanked him for the things he has helped us get through or get passed.(you know the sayin "thank god ......

My condolences.
News like this makes me sad and angry at the same time. An hour just doesn't seem right for someone who's served our country and was a good friend to those he cared about.
