More information on the story

 

Scary stuff on that article Caddy-O. the driver wasn't exactly a saint.
Prayers to the Bridges family.

 

condolences to his family and friends.

Some one should drag that (*/!%? down a gravel road and then torch him, sorry but why do bad things happen to guys like stovebolt then this idiot gets to sit on his ass in jail­. burns me up

 

Aww shit! This sucks.

You'll be missed, buddy.

 

My condolences to and prayers for Stovebolt's family. Didn't know him personally but knew him as a regular on the HAMB. He was always willing to share his knowledge and experience to help others. It hurts to lose a good guy to a drunk driver. A drunk driver came real close to killing my wife and two of my daughters down in Virginia at Thanksgiving of 1990.

In 2003 when we lived in Baltimore, a drunk driver ran a red light and hit two little girls, the mother of one of the little girls who was holding a toddler, and a school crossing guard on Moravia Road just around the corner from where we lived. It killed one of the little girls, a 7 year old, instantly. The other little girl, about the same age, had a broken leg. The mother of the girl who was killed and the toddler she was holding, and the crossing guard received lesser injuries. The drunk driver kept going. A witness gave chase, followed the drunk home, and stayed until police arrived. The toboggan cap that the dead child was wearing was stuck in the grille of the woman's car. It was her 8th DUI. She had already lost her license and was driving drunk with no license. She is serving a lengthy prison sentence, convicted under vehicular homicide and habitual offender statutes.

 

God bless you Stolvebolt48.May you rest in peace.....

 

Rest in peace brother. My prayers are with the family and friends.

 

Rest Easy Nelson... My condolences to his family and friends

 

This puts a face on it for those of us that didn't know him.
I hate it when someone goes before their time.

Sad news. Deepest condolences.

 

Very Sad. Prayers go to Family and Friends......

 

All positive thoughts to the Bridges' Family and friends.....it's the same old story, good guy gets taken out by a bad guy, who keeps gettin let out and repeats his ways....My wife was in a head-on a few years ago , fortunately she's fine but the car was totaled and the other driver just "disappeared" from the hospital.....no license, no registration, no insurance....and is probably still out there driving. The thing is, none of us knows how long our string is..... so live each day well.

 

Bummer! You just never know when it is your time.

 

It is horrible to hear of a young man cut down in his prime by an idiot driver.

My thoughts and prayers are with his soul and his family.

Sorry to hear the news.Live the life guys-we never know when it's our time.My thoughts and prayers to family and good pals.May you rest in peace.

 

Very sorry to hear...my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I know it's almost inevitable, but becareful guys, watch out for those drunk drivers. Try to stay off the roads around the holidays such as new years.

 

Wow. All of this for my father?

I can't even begin to tell you how I feel.

It was just earlier today I was at my office and I typed my church into Google, and his picture came up.. He was a member of my church also as well as his memorial was there.

And then I typed his name into Google to see what the results were and Garage Journal came up.. I got on there right away to thank them..

And just now, I decide to search on here and sure enough there's a bulletin about him!

This is truly one big family.

This really helps my confidence a lot! My family and I are doing all right.. I can't say I'm completely fine with my dad's death. But.. We're just surviving this day to day, and it still isn't any easier. It's been hard on us emotionally and mentally, especially my mom.

It blows my mind how much you guys, as well as them on Garage Journal, care about my family.

From the bottom of my heart.. I thank you guys, tremendously.

 

i send condolences to the family, never wanna hear news like that....damn

 

Ryan..

I don't know where to start.. But the Boss-man of the HAMB is talking about my own father? You knew my dad as well?

I feel really honored. I hope one day to meet you and shake your hand and really thank you for bring this to everyone's attention.

I never expected him to get this kind of attention on such a huge community as the HAMB.

 

man, i know how you feel. just never forget to keep your head up.

 

Sad news. RIP Stovebolt48

 

Been there man lost my Dad nearly 20 years ago when I was 19. Very tough time still miss him almost daily. Hang in there.

 

the HAMB is like a big family of (mostly) guys we have never met. Ryan has really created something here.

 

healing prayers for his friends & family......

 

Rip....
