more sad news

Post by Lauren Tjaden »

Mitch Shipley's 21 year old son Trevor died in a horrible traffic accident on Friday morning. I hate posting this news on this forum, but felt those of you who are close to Mitch would want to know and support him.
It's just the worst.

I'm at a loss for words. Truly horrible.
I remember last seeing Mitch at Quest with his boys and dogs. They were all riding around the perimeter.
Holy crap.
Thanks for letting us know.
