Some sad news

freshwhite335 · 03-05-2009, 08:22 PM

Hey guys-

Unfortunately I come to you with some sad news. My friend and fellow 1Additcs and BMW CCA member Grant Prather [jgprather] passed away last Saturday.

He was an amazing guy and I encourage you to check out this article on him.
http://www.jacksonville.com/news/met...y_of_his_goals I hope you find him as inspiring as everyone who met him. Also take a look at the charity he started with his Mom called The Big Fun Foundation. http://www.thebigfunbox.org/

Thanks,
Spencer

Sorry to hear you lost your friend...I too am going through some really tough times. They say misery loves company...but I don't really understand that.

Anyway, take care of yourself.

I just read his bio; what a loss to humanity. RIP mate.

When you read things like this you realize that most of the challenges in your life are like speed bumps compared to what he endured.

RIP jgprather.

Sorry for your loss. Your story and other like it make me realize how petty my problems are. He sounds like a very inspirational and caring person. The world will miss him.

I am very saddened to hear of his passing. I remember his "Chemo kicked my butt, need some encouragement" thread. I'm sure all the 1Addicts here in Australia would like you to pass on our condolences to his family and friends.
