R.I.P Uncle D

Yesterday our family learned that my uncle, 'Uncle D', was killed in a motorcycle accident.  He was the oldest of the clan.  He leaves behind a wife, 3 children, a grandson, 6 sisters, 3 brothers and countless number of nieces and nephews.  He worked for the FAA.

News Report

My family is still in shock of his death and angry.  Mr. Brewer was not wearing any protective or reflective gear and ran a stop sign.  My uncle was on his way to work when the accident happened.  He was killed on impact due to a broke neck.  I totally understand why the family is angry because this could of been avoided if Mr. Brewer was more pro-active in his riding.  I know in my heart that it was just that an accident.  There was no intent to kill or hurt anyone.  Mr. Brewer will have to live with the fact that he contributed to a man's death for the rest of his, if he is given that chance.  Uncle D died doing something he truly loved.  He loved his Harley.  I know Uncle D would not want us to harbor ill will towards Mr. Brewer and in time I'm sure my family can forgive him at some point.

Funeral services are Thursday in Tifton, GA.  Uncle D we love you & will miss you!  We will meet again.  Until then, Rest In Peace, Delano Nickelson.
