Prayers for all involved. People let’s let the helmet thing go. He was wearing one and he didn’t make it unfortunately. I choose not to wear a helmet and probably never will. I don’t think the helmet will save many lives as well as I do t think you should ha e to wear a seatbelt . My buddy is gone and he is greatly missed .
Laurie Sutton,our prayers are with you and your family. We work at the Whataburger on 29,where he would came in to eat. It was always great to see him and he was friendly and caring. I saw him on April 23rd in the afternoon,we talked,bumped knuckles as he left. He will be missed by many.
Josh fixed my windshield Friday. It was the end of the day and the last one he probably ever repaired. I feel so bad. My prayers go out to his family.
The world lost a great person on Friday. Josh was way too young for things to end like this! Our prayers are with the young lady and her family as well. We find ourselves saying all the time, “you just never know”, but you truly have no idea when the Lord is going to bring you home to heaven. Thoughts and prayers, God Bless!
God be with all involved. The pain will be immeasurable. And please stop with the condemnation of helmet or no helmet. In most cases, it just doesn’t matter. Prayers going up for the family of this young man.
Prayers for all the families involved. I gave up riding motorcycles with all the crazy drivers around here who can’t judge distance and speed properly. Doesn’t matter if you ride day or night I encountered the same issues.
Matchbox: “when the good Lord calls on you there really isn’t anything you can do to prevent that”
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read in a while. I can’t believe some so called “Christians” believe that. They better re read their Bible. A loving God surely did that to these poor families… riiiight. I will give you a hint:Eccl 9:11
To both families, I am so sorry for all you are going through.
My comment was meant to point out the ridiculousness and inconsistencies of traffic rules, guidelines, and laws. Actually I have had an unprotected motorcycle wreck several years ago and it almost killed me. But that was not my point. People generally don’t see motorcycles especially at night. Its not because they don’t respect motorcycles. It’s a normal physical limitation for almost everyone to have limited vision at night. Of course you may choose to ride at night in your skivvies if you want to but you should be aware that not everyone will see you soon enough to get out of your way.
It doesn’t matter if you wear a helmet and or a seatbelt…when the good Lord calls on you there really isn’t anything you can do to prevent that…prayers for all involved
First off, Prayers to both families. RIP Josh, his company installed my wife’s windshield a few months ago. After the conclusion of my team’s t-ball game Friday night my daughters and I passed by the accident a few minutes after it happened. The ladies car was upside down and she was in the rear of the car. I noticed a few comments ahead of mines that someone said something about “helmetless” motorcycle riders. I can honestly say that Josh had a black helmet on as I passed the accident. I know riders have the right to wear or not to wear in the State of Florida, but having a helmet on and colliding with car, there’s not much you can do in that situation. Prayers to all involved.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
The motorcyclist did have his helmet on.
Broken heartedly,
The deseased’s Mom
Re:Mike. Helmets should be required regardless. I myself find seatbelts worthless and hindering to me. If I died in a wreck you’d be the first to condemn me because I refuse to wear them
Avis, sounds like you have a problem with helmetless riders. look, do you really think a helmet would have made a difference? the car’s impact was so hard that it flipped, no helmet made would have saved him.
to wear a helmet is a matter of choice, just like it should be in all of the states. this is getting to be a rare thing, what with the government being a law factory these days, mostly laws to cost us money.
myself? fullface helmet, boots and gloves, no exceptions. the lack of leather pants and jacket is a risk i accept, though i am aware of the hazards of such foolhardiness. riding a streetbike is more dangerous now than ever b4, what with cellphones in the hands of the automobile driving public.
Prayers to all involved and their families. These incidences or always so sad.
More like Florida ride a motorcycle and people will not watch out for you so watch out for them
Florida – The place where you can ride a motorcycle 70 mph and let your hair blow in the wind but you better have a helmet on if you’re on a bicycle with training wheels in your driveway.
Amen, God bless all involved. We all need to look closer when we cross any hwy or intersection. It saves lives. Motorcyclists and people in any other automobile. Prayers for all.
Please be careful and look twice for motorcycles. It is an unfortunate accident for both families involved. I’ll keep both families in my prayers.
