this was a terrible accident. and i hope and pray the injured man makes a full recovery….MAY GOD LAY A HEALING HAND ON HIM.
Poor guy…praying he’s okay!
no he didnt make it. they took him off life support last night
RIP uncle Billy
so sorry to hear he passed….he was a very nice man, no doubt Heaven gained an Angel.
So sorry to hear of this man’s death. I’ve heard good things about him. Sometimes life does not seem fair…we have thieves breaking into places all over town, and they get away with nary a scratch. But a good man is out making an honest living and he is killed in a freak accident. Any time someone like Billy dies, it is a loss to the community, even if we don’t know him personally. My condolences to his family and friends.
Topa, I’m so sorry!
A horrible accident.. can’t believe he is gone. I don’t really understand how this happened.
RIP Uncle Billy
God opened his gate and let Billy walk in to Heaven. He is no longer walking on this evil place our Earthy home. Prayers going out to the family! Jesus give them comfort in the days and weeks ahead so they can get through the dark days ahead until they are reunited with Billy !!
