A very sad day.
So a lot has happened in the last few weeks since our last post with Thanksgiving and all, but I wanted to talk about a tragedy that happened yesterday (Saturday). I was just hanging out at home and a friend called me letting me know that they were all going to Jordan River Motocross track to ride. With my finger I was out as far as riding went, but I really enjoy shooting photos of my friends with my camera and decided to go to snap some pictures of all of them. As I arrived I followed an ambulance into the facility.... Upon arriving I got out of my car and started to walk towards the track which is a couple hundred yards away. I saw life flight coming our way and I didn't have a good feeling, since there were only about 12 trucks in the parking lot and I knew 6 of them. I started running over to were everyone was and saw a friend walking towards me, he didn't look good and I asked him what had happened. He said our friend Buttars had crashed and was not doing well. To not go too much into detail, our friend Brian Buttars did not make it. It was of the saddest days of my life. I had met him about 2 yrs ago, and Brit and I had only got one opportunity outside of motocross to go out to dinner with he and his wife about a month ago. I feel so sorry for his family. Buttars was a truly great guy, he was always happy and in a good mood. He was one of those guys you just enjoyed being around. I loved riding with him, and will always remember his smiling face after accomplishing something for the first time. Let us all keep his family in our prayers. I love you Buttars.

Ben,
Yeah that was way sad man! I knew him from high school, he was a year older than me. Good guy! Every time I throw my leg over my bike I try to remember to have fun,and remember that I have to go to work on Monday. I hope Brian didn't suffer much, and I hope and pray that his wife and kids will be comforted spiritually and taken care of temporally. Take care.

That is heart wrenching! I'm so sad to hear that. He has such a beautiful family too. It's things like this that make me so grateful to know that Heavenly Father has a plan
That was so sad to hear. Aaron and I were both in shock the rest of the day. I wish the best for his little family. This one sure hit close to home, it really makes you think twice about how fast life can change, but comfort is felt knowing that there is a plan after this life. I hope you and Britt are doing ok, its hard to loose a friend.
