    Default IrishtotheMax has passed away

    I received this email this morning from brian's brother. I guess, we now know why he missed Maggie Valley. God rest his soul!


    First let me apologize for doing this in this manner,but I had to use one of Brian's old e-mails.
    It is with great sorrow that I inform you of the death of my brother Brian at 133Pm on 6/21/11 at John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore ,Md.. He succumbed to multiple infections after a gallant 14 day fight.He is now with his true love Phoebe.
    Nothing is scheduled as of yet.
    Arrangements are being headed up by his son and daughter.

    He will be missed

    This is sad indeed. Many of us have fond memories of Brian and Gene (RTGene or SmilingGene...or whoever he is now!) bantering back and forth...like an old married couple!

    People who didn't know them would swear they hated each other...but it was quite the opposite.

    Rest in peace my friend.

    Number One: 2008 Yellow GS SM5. I love my Spyder.
    Number Two: 2012 RT-S Limited (the poop colored RT) I still have Number One, but Some Girl made me buy Number Two...

    So sorry to hear about IrishtotheMax's passing. I spoke to him here a few times and spent about an hour talking to him at Spyderfest this year.

    WOW! I remember when he bought his Spyder. Took it out the door pretty much loaded to the max. Feeling kinda numb about this even though we never met him. Like losing a relative.
    2008 GS SE5 in 2008
    Traded at 43,000 miles for a left over
    2010 RT SM5 in 2011
    Traded at 57,000 for a left over
    2014 RTS SE6 in 2015, which has 35,000 miles
    Oct 19th, 2017, totaled 2014 RT while killing a Javaline
    Dec 12th, 2017 drove a 2017 F3L home. What an awesome machine!

    Never had any breakdown stranded issues.

    I am speechless - which is rare for me. A real shocker.
    Have to let this one sink in a bit.

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    Brian will be missed. We spent quite a bit of time with him at Spyderfest this year and he was a good guy. I pray he knew Christ and is with him now. I also pray for comfort and healing for his family and friends. I thank him for his service to this country and thank him for being a friend.
    With Christ all things are possible, so live life with no fears and no worries.
    Happy Ex Owner, Hopefully future Spyder owner again.
