While I have told you via Messenger and on FB practically what everybody has said here too, I feel that adding it here to the long list of people just concentrates it in one place and puts it into perspective with all the others..
I have been shocked from day 1 about the whole cancer deal and was pretty pessimistic early on, just reading up on your kind of leukemia and all of that.. but you fighting so much all those years and beating initial odds made me rather optimistic in the end.. which makes it even harder to now accept that the fight is lost.
You definitely know, like many others here, how big of an impact you had on my life by creating this community. All the chats, all the Ringmeets, Roadtrips, Aduvesters (and for others Finnmeets, Skitrips, etc) and all the other impromtu meets us FinalGear folks do constantly.. all the friendships.. and for me specifically, there is literally dozens of friends I have gained in Texas and other parts of the US over the years that have no connection to FG whatsoever, but it all is because of FG, because equi and Nugget convinced me to visit Texas while they were here for Ringmeet. Years later I know people and have friends across various communities and groups of people on the other side of the world that all began there. Rallycross people, Trackday, fellow crazy LeMons people, people in the automotive industry, gun folks, people into old american boats like mine.. so many people, so many things, so many stories and memories..
Fuck, where are those onions coming from? ?
Alex, thank you for everything, and know you will never be forgotten!
Anything I or we can do for you or FG, just ask!
