Lost my dad

ryancooksey · 01-04-2010, 12:04 AM

Lost my dad this week. He passed away from cancer. He was only 59. Have worked with dad at family business since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Sure gonna miss him. His cancer was very sudden and he was diagonised with only 2 weeks before he passed. Which is not very long but seems like an eternity when you see someone you love suffering. He also had many many strokes because of the cancer while he was in the hospital so really never could communicate with him. His famous words were that you will know what kinda man you were when you see who shows up at your funeral. There wasnt a seat left in the church. They were making people stand 30 minutes before the service. May God Rest his soul.....

Extremely sorry to hear about your loss Ryan. Always remember the good times. RIP.

blowndodge · 01-04-2010, 10:59 AM

that is very sad to hear Ryan. I'm so sorry for your loss. This holiday season has been a tough one. My buddy straight across the street passed Xmas eve and one of my older riding buddies 2 houses down passed yesterday morning.

Sounds like your dad was blessed with a fine son!

I'll include your dad in my prayers today!

Ryan,
You are not alone in your sorrow. Prayers to your family and take heart knowing that he is in a better place. Sounds like he was quite a guy.
