We lost another brother today. He was an active member about 4 years ago on the site. His name was Joey Gibson. He passed away today at 4:30p.m at Ben Taub hospital here in Houston. I met him on this site when I first bought my ZR-1. He had a Beautifull black and tan int 91 ZR-1 that he was so proud of but due to being laid off he was forced to sell it. Through the years we became best freinds and I let him drive my ZR-1 anytime he wanted to because I new how bad he missed his and I've never been selfish with my toys. And when I seperated from my wife for a while he took me in and said I could stay as long as I needed to until I got back on my feet. During that time we had a blast. He had a killer pad with an awesome swiming pool with waterfalls ect. BBQ almost every night. Beer and football games every weekend. Chasing women and bringing them back to the house for wet teeshirt contests in the pool

No matter how many times we loose someone or something close to us it never gets easier. We may get more numb to it but it NEVER gets easier.
His spirit is free now and he is able to celebrate in a new place. Your memory of him will keep his earthly spirit alive. True friends are few and far between. We are fortunate to have places like this place to find more to add to those cherished few. Post up a snap or two help the rest of us have a memory of him. He was fortunate to have a friend like you who wasn't afraid of letting others know what he ment to you. Hopefully more of us will be able to have more friends here. |
