Oh wow, that's truly sad. Kevin worked himself to death, I'd bet. And seemed to have setback after setback on his truck.

Sad indeed to loose someone, and so colorful he was. Last activity 10/16/2016, not that long ago.

That is so sad. He was too young, four children. You got to be ready as we never know.

We had a storm to through central PA last Thursday night. A retired teacher who I taught with many years was in the bedroom latching a window during the storm. A huge pine tree blew down and hit the bedroom he was in. It totally tore out the wall. He was thrown to the driveway below. He died at the hospital as he was being prepped to be taken to a trauma center. They could not Life Flight him due to the storm. He was 65. ... very sad.

To be honest, I wasn't sure who Kevin was so I did a search for 55_f350 and found this thread:
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...e-new-toy.html

Here he tells us he traded his 55 to twise for his 49 F4. After reading that thread and looking at his pictures and seeing his icon I now know who he is. He will be missed.

Thanks Abe. I couldn't place 55-f350 either. Like you, I did a search, but unlike you, my search didn't produce any results. Kevin will be missed. His untimely passing is a reminder of the brevity of life and the importance of always being spiritually prepared for our own entry into eternity.
