Godspeed, Jason.

It's always sad when a youngster suddenly dies, for whatever reason. We hate to see a life full of promise cut short before its prime. Yet at the same time, you have to kind of smile when someone passes away engaged in doing something they love. When you hear about the retired gentleman who has a quiet heart attack on a golf course, you have to admit that if you have to go (and we all do), it's best to go doing something that has meaning to you. I believe that to be the case with this young gentleman from Riverside, California, who died this past Saturday at a supercross race in San Diego, the first fatality ever for the sport: AMA Press Release on Jason Ciarletta.

My deepest condolences go out to his family. Jason, say hi to God for me.

More later...
