ratdogg68 4 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 This is a sad thing to hear of anyone who's only 25, and had so many goals in life. I have seen him around on other forums also. Set up that donation and I'll give, for him and the animals. Link to post Share on other sites
onewheeled999 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites
zaneymon 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Wow. my thoughts are with his family at the moment. R.I.P masked_maverick Link to post Share on other sites

Wes 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites
crazyrider06 1 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 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 Link to post Share on other sites
mcjaco 1 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Thanks for stepping up Wes. Very cool. Link to post Share on other sites
bgwfreak 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites
ghost007jas 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 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. R.I.P Masked_Maverick Link to post Share on other sites
dandaman 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 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 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites
kraken613 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 ^ I think that idea of running a empmty train is a good one. Link to post Share on other sites
bulldogmom 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 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 Link to post Share on other sites
resonancej 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Thorpe park maniac 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (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 Link to post Share on other sites
FLIPDUDE 0 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 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.

bgwfreak 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites

TheStig 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 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? Link to post Share on other sites
Jayjay719 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Dan RIP bud, and Wes your awesome for what you did. Maybe I will put in a donation...I'm still shocked.... Link to post Share on other sites
Sunfire 0 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites
