Rest in Peace, Furp 11/8/1979 - 2/19/2009

Patrick Reed, Also known as Furp, and Fire_Pyro, and evil_dwagon, was killed in a car accident last night. I don't know the exact time this happened.

I have spoken to his father directly, who is local to me and confirmed that this has taken place. The information I was given, was that Patrick was on his motorcycle when another driver cut off in front of him. There was a doctor in another vehicle right behind him, and confirmed that it was dead on scene. I'm sorry to be passing on this information. I'm waiting for an email from his father about any more information, such as funeral times and anything else he may wish to pass on. His father did wish me to pass on their condolences to everyone Pat called friend.

Patrick was an organ donor, and his mom has enacted the eligible tissue donation through One Legacy of California, which harvests Skin, Bone, Heart & Blood vessels, and what else they can. Donations can be sent to his parents at the address I provided below, I recommend money order or check, cash wouldn't be safe.

Rest in Peace, Furp. May you find the peace you were searching for.

If you wish to send anything to his parents, I have been given the okay to pass on their address.

I spoke with his mother a little while ago, and she says that he will be returned to Wisconsin sometime Monday or Tuesday, at least according to the Deputy she spoke with at the time. Also, any pictures you may wish to share may be posted in comments here, as I'll be going over to his parent's place later to share with her what I can find. Anyone who knew him is welcome to share anything they like. I don't know how to set up a Paypal, though.


Most recent picture I have of the last time Furp and I hung out at Coffee at Webb's in New Berlin.
