Prayers Needed: RIP Eric Houts (jagstyle)

I just read on IWSTI that a dear friend of the shop and customer has lost his life.

Eric you will be missed around the shop and I hope you are in a better place now.

F*cking lost for words, what a sad day

UPDATE (05.27.2010)

To purchase a Eric Houts memorial sticker...Please read the following:












-Sticker is $10, (each.)
-Offered in two colors (black lettering or white lettering)
-Measure 6.5" around (yes they are big)

Every cent that is generated from this is going directly to the Houts family. I hope we sell hundreds of these. The company I'm using for these stickers have been nice enough to donate all production cost and time to generate these stickers, the owner of the company, his wife works with Eric's mom...and is happy to help out. The stickers are a bumper sticker material, they are satin finish and printed for both colors. They are designed to last a long time, the material being used is as high end as it comes. Hats off to Centric Signs (www.centricsigns.com) for helping the Hout's family as well.

when sending payment please put in the:

subject line- EH sticker
message- name, address, phone number and which sticker you want (black lettering or white), and quantity.

Paypal payment address is: no longer available for purchase, thank you for the support for those that did!



-Noah

I am floored! It was not too long ago that Eric came by here and baselined his car.

RIP Eric!

Whaaaaat, that's terrible! Things seemed to be going well for him, at least from reading his posts.

My sincerest condolences. I never knew him, but still, a suicide is a terrible thing.

Damn, what sad news. I got a chance to meet him when I bought a set of tires off him about two years ago, nice guy. And he was all signed up for our upcoming EQ track day
