This morning many in our community are with heavy hearts as we try to understand the unexpected and devastating loss of a very good friend, stalwart community member and a well respected gentleman who I personally thought the world of. I will leave our dear friend un-named to help the family deal with their immense loss and give them a bit of privacy as they face this awful storm. Our dear friend volunteered countless hours helping our community over the years helping make Soda Springs the incredible place it is. I will never forget his mega smile and always positive attitude. I always looked forward to seeing his face every 4th of July morning as he served the community he loved.
Over the last several hours I've asked myself many questions, none of which I've come up with an answer for, and most may never be answered. Some things I've learned over the years.. things in life can be short, unexpected and just not go the way we want. So, cherish your loved ones, hug your friends and family and let everyone around you know that they matter and that you care about and love them. Finally, remember our Saviour loves and cares for us. Please pray for the families involved and our community, that they will have the strength and support to navigate this very difficult time.
Until that day I get to again see that million dollar smile, rest easy my dear friend.
