I haven’t been on the board in a few days but sensed something was wrong as soon as I seen Kevin’s board name next to Gary’s on the race only section. Opening up the race board confirmed it with Fred’s post. I never met Kevin, but enjoyed his enthusiasm, his posts on the board and his thirst for knowledge of our hobby and early Pro-Stock history. I was looking forward to meeting him next summer at some of the bigger MoPar events slugging it out against Fred. What a tragedy to such a young man and my heart and prayers go out to his family and friends. God speed Kevin and R.I.P Ed.

i was reading my local paper before seeing this and seen in the obits where he was original raised in Ironton, Ohio and was thinking the name was fimilar in my head. for some reason i think he was a year ahead of me in high school and i didn't even know he was a memeber of this board. i'm just totally shocked at all this. my thoughts and prayes go out to the family during this time of need. 43 is way to young.

Too bad! I don't spend a lot of time on the race only page, but I do remember reading some of his posts and immediately noticed how enthusiastic and friendly he was. I never had the pleasure of meeting the man, but reading the comments on here sure makes me wish I had the chance.

Wouldnt a Memorial Race with all the proceeds going to The Ronnie Sox Foundation make him happy? Seems appropriate.

Same here - I still can't believe what I just read. I've had numerous email conversations with him over the past year. What a good man he seemed like, RIP sir.
