My best friend passed away today
I'm posting this in the truck topics, because some of the truck guys are the only people on the site that may have met him at the hallesville meet last year. He has helped me out with a bunch of different stuff on my truck and had been a great friend.
My best friend Brandon Tiller, suffered massive trauma to his chest cavity at an accident at his work. He just got a job going around to gas and oil fields and working with cranes, drills, and computer controlled explosives. Too make a long story short, he accidently pulled on a drill bit, while reaching for the cables from a crane to connect it and it fell on his chest off of a 4-5 foot drop. According to his step-dad, these drill bits weigh well over 500lbs. He was air-lifted to a hospital and died in the helicopter. I'm trying to type this without tearing up, but it's kinda hard when the best friend you could ever ask for is gone.
I ask that you keep his family in your prayers, he was 21 and his mother's only child. Thank you.

Sorry to hear about the loss of a loved one, your both in my prayers. I know how that feels, I lost my best friend in 2000 due to a motorcycle accident. I wish I could say it gets easier.
