Prayers please

I lost a friend yesterday. Joel Hess was riding with the Des Moines chapter of the Star motorcycle club on a group ride. Two bikes in the group tangled, struck a car and went down. Joel was struck and killed by a semi. The other rider was hospitalized. This is made even more tragic by the fact that Joel had just gotten back into riding in the last year to deal with the death of his beloved wife Lisa from ALS. June 16th would have been Joel's birthday, his 55th I believe.

Please offer your prayers for Joel, the other rider and those in the group who witnessed this terrible event.

Ride on, brother. You will be missed. I'm sure Lisa and others are welcoming you home.

Another friend died this past weekend, Shannon Criss, on a group ride in the Quincy area.

It's a very sad day and I am so sorry for the loss of your friend as well. Sending prayers, thoughts, and wishes to you and the families/friends who have lost a good person.

Sorry to hear that. Hope Joel is back in Lisa's arms now. Condolences to all involved. IIRC, the Star folks are pretty close. Met a few really good people when I had a VStar.

Terrible tragic news, prayers of encouragement to the family and to their children having to go through loosing the other parent so soon after the first.

After taking a (secret special course) they share a alarming statistic when it comes to MC deaths on the highways, it is quite alarming, yet a sobering fact

to those of us that ride so passionately.
