RIP, Masked_Maverick, Daniel T.Miller

[onewheeled999]

Man, this just turned my day downward. So terrible.

 

Like others on this site, I didn't know masked_maverick at all, besides from what he said in his posts. He played a big part in the molding of the overall personality of these forums. It's going to be very different here without him.

 

Jeez, as I'm typing this, I'm trying not to burst into tears.

[zaneymon]

Wow. my thoughts are with his family at the moment.

He will surly be missed.

[FlyingScooter]

RIP, man.

 

This is very sad news.

Ok, I just called the Lake Humane Society and got the information on sending in a donation.

 

Basically, what I'm going to do is send a check in on behalf of TPR in Daniel's memory. We will be including a letter with everyone who has contributed's name. I have set up a Paypal account under my name, weslagattolla@gmail.com if you would like to donate to the TPR group fund. If you do Paypal, please include your TPR Username, and so I can put you on the list for record. Please have donations in by the 17th.

 

If there's any problem sending money to my account with paypal, let me know, hopefully I set it up correctly.

 

--

If you wish to make your own personal donation in honor of Daniel, it can be sent to:

Lake Humane Society

7564 Tyler Blvd., Bldg. E

Mentor, OH 44060

 

Checks should be addressed to "Lake Humane Society" and include a note that the donation is for Daniel.

that is so sad... my thoughts go out to his friends and family and may they get through this tough situation. so young and so much life to live, yet it was taken away from him

[mcjaco]

Thanks for stepping up Wes. Very cool.

[bgwfreak]

This is shocking. I knew him over on ThrillNetwork and was kinda wondering what had happened cause I hadn't heard from him in about a week. My prayers are with his family.

[ghost007jas]

This is terrible.. I felt like I knew him from reading his posts. It really shows you how short life is. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Thanks to whatever mod changed the title, and thanks especially to Wes for setting this up. (They're probably both one and the same, but I digress!)

 

Unfortunately Paypal never seems to work for me, so I've gotta figure out a way to convince the parents to let me send a cheque.

[christianscoasters]

I think we should stop all the trains on CP lifthills for a minute in his honor.

 

I like that idea. What I was thinking (and/or) was that they could do a special Maverick run. No one on it, just let it run around the course in memory of him. I mean, he was trying to lose weight to ride this coaster.

I think that idea of running a empmty train is a good one.

[bulldogmom]

How terribly sad! And so young. Anybody who loves both coasters and animals is okay in my book!

RIP Dan- hopefully you're reading this in coaster heaven

[resonancej]

Wow, that's crazy. I saw the thread title and thought "Huh?" He was such a young guy and one of the few people I recognized on the boards. I love the idea of running maverick once empty in his memory, I don't know how possible that would be though. Just goes to show you we NEVER know what will happen. The most we or anyone can do is be there for his family and friends.

(This is IceDragon posting... My brothers account was open and we're having network problems)

 

 

It's such a shame to see people die at such a tender age. I wish his family and friends all the best over the next few months.

 

 

RIP Masked_Maverick

[FLIPDUDE]

This is a terrible thing. I truly wish the best for him and his family. It is a true tragedy.

 

 

It was said he was in the accident during a credit run? Well, I was going over his last posts and I found this a bit upsetting... I warn you it might upset you too...

 

Cross State credit whoring has been postponed due to weather. I apologize for an inconvience.

 

I guess maybe it was just his time... I sure hope he is in a better place right now.

 

 

R.I.P.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

RIP Masked_Maverick

[coaster05]

Thanks Wes I sent in a little.

[bgwfreak]

Wes, we put a story up about this over on ThrillNetwork.com as well so you might get a few donations from TN folks as well.

 

I think it's awesome you guys are doing this.

[chmilo24]

I bet he has all-day ERT on Maverick up there.

Rest In Peace Dan.

[Disney Dood]

Wes, I applaud you. Nice.

[TheStig]

Wow, this is really shocking. Its sad that it just happened so quickly. Its hard to think that he could still be alive if the driver was only paying attention to the road. RIP man.

 

Also, has anyone tried to contact CP yet?

[Jayjay719]

Dan RIP bud, and Wes your awesome for what you did. Maybe I will put in a donation...I'm still shocked....

[Sunfire]

Oh man, this is really sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family, that they can get through this. Maybe it was just his time to go. No matter what it was, hopefully he's looking down on us from heaven. I hope he's in a better place.

 

R.I.P. Masked_Maverick.

[TheRapidsNerd]

I bet he's riding all the great coasters that have also passed into eternity, where they'll also be at their best and forever youthful.
