A correction on info about Garret. He road a silver 600 gsxr. Not sure how I really feel about it all right now. Reality has not sunken in yet. Seeing how I was with him about an hour before it all happened. I'm glad to see that Aaron made it ok. For Garret, may he rest in peace. Another fallen brother. Becarefull out there guys and gals. You never know when your ticket could be punched. F*cken 4-wheelers.
P.S. It is unconfirmed yet, but the wake may be this Friday, and the funeral Saturday. If anyone finds out more. Please let me know too. Otherwise I will post anything I find out here.

There is an update with Aaron. He made it through surgery with no problems. Just some swelling and some bruising. He is at Edwards Hospital rm 507 if anyone is interested in going. I'm going to stop by after work to see how he is doing. Also, Garret's parents will be in town by wed. Still waiting to confirm the funeral arrangements.

Wow, That's eerie. Does anyone know if he was wearing gear, or details like that?

As far as gear went. Aaron always wore a helmet and jacket. Unfortunatly I cant say the same for Garret. He did wear a jacket, but never saw him with a helmet on. I heard some suggestions that if he did have one on he might have survived. But from what I understand how it happened any kind of survival might have left him as a vegetable. I dont know what is worse. This all still seems to crazy to me Shaggy. I dont know.

I can't believe it that Garret is gone. I talked him 2 hours before the accident. We only met about a month ago but the way him and I got along it was like we knew each other forever. Wednesday night we were sitting over at jimmys in naperville checking out girls and now he is gone. It was weird not riding with him this sunday because he would be the first to be at spot where we meet up at. Josh and I tried calling him sunday morning about his where abouts but he didn't pick up his phone so we thought that he probably sleeping it wasn't until 6:30pm when we heard the bad news. May god rest his soul. Here is picture of him that shuggs toke at his house before we went out riding.

Wow, I'm really glad you posted that picture also. I wasn't sure if I had ever met him, but I know now that I had. That's exactly how I remember him also, a very happy guy. May he rest in peace and I prey to God that no more of these stories arise!

It is always sad when we lose not only a rider, but a friend. I don't have exact details yet, but the memorial service is going to be Saturday afternoon at Yurs Funeral Home. Still waiting to find out which location and the time. I have also attached a picture from a night we were out in Jan. RIP Garrett, may an angel hold you under her wing.
Best of luck to Aaron, for a quick recovery.
