Just seen this.
Fucking stupid distracted drivers.
Here's the text:
It is with great sadness that I share the following update from John's CaringBridge:
"When we started this caring bridge, we had hoped to provide details of John's journey toward recovery. John's life story has been one of great adventures, love, and incredible relationships. We are heartbroken to share today's update and have stumbled to move through tears and find the appropriate words. John's heart stopped beating today. His medical team made every effort to restore his heart beat, as they have grown to love John too. Unfortunately, John's life story ends today. But wherever his next ride takes him, we find comfort in knowing he is pedaling his ass off and happy to be free.
We hope that you continue to be inspired by how he lived. "
John was exemplary in life, one that I think we could all be inspired by. He looked at the big picture - what is important verses what is temporary; the good of the whole verses the selfishness of the immediate. He loved his family relentlessly and cared for others constantly. He gave back to his community and was graciously kind. If you take anything away from this post, may it be to live life fuller by being kinder, dedicated to the things that truly matter. Life is short for each one of us. Live with integrity and you'll never waste a single day.
Please continue to keep Susan and John's entire family in prayer.
Rest in peace, my friend. Thank you for all that you have done.
