SAD NEWS!

It is with great regret that I have to make this post. Steve Price, Stevebricks, passed away yesterday from an apparent heart attack.

Gail called me early this morning with the sad news and wanted me to share with his FTE family.

Rest in peace Steve, my west coast brother.

Word's obviously starting to spread as I was just alerted to this in the PA Chapter.

Steve was truly one of the good guys and it was truly a privilege and blessing to know him and have spent time with him in person on several occasions here at Truck Nationals in Carlisle. He was an encouragement to me when I first started building and showing the Brahma Bull.

Steve, I'll miss you brother. Indy's for you.

Edit to add the pic: This photo's from the 2012 Carlisle (PA) Truck Nationals - last time I got to hang out with Steve in person. Just to set scene, he's handing me (left, black t-shirt and camo hat) the FTE People's Choice award for that year's event. His example taught me about being a humble winner and gracious when I fall short, and I will always carry that with me.

Damn. Just damn. Steve was one of the coolest, most laid back dudes I've met. It was an honor to call him friend. I'm glad to have hung out with him a few times in person on his east coast visits. He will be truly missed. Mine and Michelle's hearts are with Gail and the rest of the family. The pups send their love too brother. There needs to be something with his name on it. He helped so many and asked for nothing in return. Just an honest, true dude.

What a tragic loss... My heart goes out to his family. Steve will be missed. From the first get together to the last time I saw him, always a wonderful man.

Such devastating news.

A friend online. But more importantly a friend in life. I'm gonna miss Steve.

So sorry to hear this sad news. Had the pleasure of meeting Steve 2 years ago, and always enjoyed talking with him on here or Facebook. Just a down to earth good guy. Prayers to his family.

Steve crossed over to the other side and will be missed by all
He is now light only ...no more in the body
Immortality is his racetrack, Infinity is his domain
Be with GOD and the angels

I just spoke to Gail, myself. She will keep us posted as to anything we can do. Steve, you are going to be missed. You were one of the finest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. RIP, bro.

This pic was from a SoNV event that Steve drove out to participate in. The man thrived on the camaraderie. It was always a pleasure to see him.

Still can't beleive it. Too damn young to lose a good man. Had the pleasure of meeting Steve and Gail a few years ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to her and the family.

Rest in peace, brother.

Very, very sad news indeed. I personally did not have the honor of meeting Steve but through the interactions on the site, I consider him to be a good friend and brother. This just shows how fragile life is and we need to live it to its fullest each and every day. RIP brother, you will be truly missed.
