Lord Jesus please comfort this family who is hurting right now because of the loss of their child. Would you give them the kind of peace only you can provide as they deal with this sudden loss. Please wrap your arms around them and send people their way who will love them, provide for their needs, and who will walk alongside them through this time of mourning.
I pray that during the quiet and still moments where their mind is racing and their heart is hurting, that you would help this family to feel at peace. I pray for the family of this child who is grieving, that they would find quiet, peaceful, and comforting moments with you, Lord.
It’s in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.
Amen
Connor and Quincey Riley are more former step sons. I was married to their mother Diane. I was not expecting this when I opened the link. I knew who it was as soon as I saw his face. I don’t know what to do or say. I’m reaching out to their older step brothers Will and Nate.
RIP Connor. I think of you and your twin brother often. I can’t imagine what Quincy is going through. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
May 28, 2012... I woke up to find my 11 year old unconscious and unresponsive. Called the ambulance and then picked him up and carried him to the Suburban and drove him out to meet them (we live on a ranch 30 miles out....). Rode in the ambulance with him and when they took him to the LifeFlight to go to ABQ, I said "goodbye". I knew he was gone.
Gonna be a rough time for the family. For me, the first year was just shock and I got thru by thinking "At this time last year, David and I were....." Then the 1st anniversary came and went and I couldn't say that anymore. The 3rd year was the roughest by far for some reason. Oh... that's because my wife came down with breast cancer and stayed in AMA for treatment. So, I'm suddenly alone in the house with my youngest son- and we get along great- and it was SO QUIET. Thought about David a lot then. Now, each year just runs into the next and it just never goes away.
Dad's attitude is the only thing that's going to help- he's grateful for the time they DID have together. I know that finding that attitude saved me. It also changed my attitude toward my remaining son- we DO so many more things together. I used to spend money on "stuff", now I spend it on "doing" because _those_ were the memories I cherish.
Prayers and best wishes to Connor's family
Conner's Dad message was clear, love your kids and spend time with them. Something he did very well. Conner knew he was loved.
Conner's Dad and twin brother lead a lap in honor of him with about 100 riders behind them.
Conner was also an organ donor. Not too many 16 year olds are. 6 people lives have been extended because of Conner. He was an amazing kid. He touches all of us!!!
I was telling someone the other day that this fucking virus is taking my memories away and not letting me celebrate our last times together. I sure hope Jacksonville happens. We spend about 6 days there last year with the racing and going to the beach. I would prove to the the last time I would every "See" my boy alive. Unfortunately, I know exactly how this father feels. RIP young man!!
Thoughts are with Connor's family as well. Sorry for your loss.
We are a mad bunch. A little different than most and typically don't fit into the rest of the worlds ball and stick view of what sport is. If I didn't have racing when I was growing up, I am not sure what kind of trouble I would have gotten in and I know I would not be the person I am.
This is my boy. This is our life. THIS is what it is all about. I was lucky to have a son the knew his father loved him and accepted everything about him. We had our challenges but I can say I was blessed to be in a special place with my son when he left that body.
Love your kids. Be Real. Be present. Hug them like you did when they were 5. Hold their hand. Tell them you love them and really mean it.
Take a few minutes and Honor my boy: https://youtu.be/flK9gm2_OSs
