Just makes me sick to my stomach! I didn't even have the luxury of knowing the man, but everything I've read from or about him before and after his death make me sure wish I had. When I first read Kris' op, I had chills run down my spine. Still do in fact.

Sad, sad story. But, you know, not many people think that they'll leave this world doing what they love, and it sounds like he did. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and the ones that knew him best.

Kris. Thank You for posting this for us.

Robbie, Thank You for the update.

When I saw the title of the thread I has a sick feeling in my stomach. My condolences, thoughts and prayers go out to Jet's family.

Jet may you roll coal throughout the heavens.

RIP Our Brother

May God Bless his family that he left behind. Untill we here in America wake up, things like this will continue to happen. I like the old school of doing things. Find a tall tree and a short piece rope and be done with it. Hope those *******s rot in hell!

Thank you for the info Robbie, and even most of that was info to me.


I have been beside myself all day today, not really having motivation to do much anything, and even two guys that work for me noticed something was wrong. This idiot who took Jet's life probably never thought how many (thousand) people he was going to affect.

Thanks for sharing this miserable news with us Kris. It's not something we wanted to hear, but we do appreciate the info.

Thanks for any and all updates you can give us Robbie. If you get the chance, make sure you tell his family that he will be missed by all his friends here at FTE.
