Default A guy I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to know

A tragic story. Looking at the outpouring of love for this guy, and especially the pictures posted of him, I think many of us could learn to love life like Don.

Buster, feel free to move this to the other forum if you think it's appropriate. He wasn't a VMax guy, and I suspect none of us knew him. Just a horrible way for this guy's ticket to get punched. And, some lessons for us all, I suppose.

Here's the end of his story:

Quote:
The man investigators say caused a fatal traffic accident Friday by standing in the middle of a road and daring motorists to hit him now faces charges of vehicular homicide and reckless endangerment.

Dustin Levi, 25, "had been drinking and involved in arguments with his family that continued throughout the day," said Hamilton County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Janice Atkinson.

Sheriff's investigators determined Mr. Levi was on Daughtery Ferry Road in front of his Sale Creek home when Donald Williams drove by on his 2005 Suzuki motorcycle and apparently touched Mr. Levi, Ms. Atkinson said.

Mr. Williams, 59, lost control of his motorcycle, left the road on it and traveled about 51 feet before striking a tree, Ms. Atkinson said. He was pronounced dead at Erlanger hospital.
Lives touched
