Tragic

[Biggin]

Guys, please keep Josh Ridings' family in your thoughts and prayers.

He was a 19 or 20 year old kid that passed away in a horrible car accident Saturday night. He was a great kid, extremely nice and very helpful, would have gave you the shirt off his back. Its a terrible tragedy, I hope his family is okay.

One more, please keep Jeremiah Bledsoe and his mother Mary in your thoughts and prayers, his father Ralph Bledsoe passed away Saturday. Jeremiah is developmentally disabled, and his dad was the one who took care of Jeremiah for the most part.

Rough weekend.

You said Saturday night. It wasn't Saturday during the day was it? My mom left my house and went by the overlook and there was a bad wreck at the intersection. I saw Monday that they've had the accident investigators up there checking out the scene. My mom called when she got home and was pretty shook up. She said it didn't look like whoever was in the car (pulling out from the old Valley Road) could have survived.

Jeremiah - this kid isn't a huge Jeff Gordon fan is he? there is a kid that I swear his name is Jeremiah that is developmentally disabled that has been coming into work for years and always with some Jeff Gordon stuff on, mostly a cap.

Josh Ridings was dating a young friend of mine. She's about as devestated as possible, of course. His brother posted updates on Josh's Facebook account for those who hadn't heard about the wreck. So, so tragic.

That intersection always freaks me out when I'm driving that way. I don't like it.

I use to work with Josh Riding's father. They are very good people, please do keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.
