Default Tragic loss at Anderson Motorworks

Im posting this on behalf of John, Julia, and Dwain at Anderson Motorworks. On Monday of this week one of John's employees, Shane, took his life. He was discovered by his father and rushed to the hospital barely alive. On Tueday he was given a 10% chance. He did not make it.

Shane was a great 22 year old young man. He was creative, clean & sober, and a very hard worker. He had some depression issues in the past and recently had issues that apparently were overwhelming.

He will be missed.

So, if the phone rings and you get John's machine, please be patient as he is having to pull double duty until Shanes position is filled.

FYI

Neal.. I had no idea.

I am at complete loss for words and can't even say anything else. It was just a little over a week ago that I was at the shop and saw Shane and Julia prepping your red turbo for paint. This is just unbelievable.

my prayers go out to his family and friends.

Death is never easy to deal with, especially such a tragic one with someone so young. My prayers are with Shane and his loved ones.

John and Julia, as well as Dwain know that I spend prolly to much time down there, and on Tuesday, hearing about this took my breath away... As you all know my condolances go out to you, and Shanes family...
