I met him and his wife once last year at Fixxfest. Spoke with him recently about Eurotreffen but I didn't go.

He passed last saturday of a massive heart attack at the age of 30.

Very cool and down to earth gentleman and so is his wife. Heard the news today and am shocked!

I'm not sure if he frequents this forum but he's on FVC and Volvoforums as Clean850R. Was hoping to meet up with him and Radio over in Naples at the next track event.

Please keep his wife and child in your prayers he will be missed.

If you knew him, please chime in.

Services will be held tomorrow 4/19 at 7pm in Naples at:

Hodges Funeral Home at Naples Memorial Gardens
525 111th Avenue North, Naples, FL 34108

Rest in peace my dood.

Was just working with him on the soft launch for automatics just last week. Nearly fell off my chair when his wife responded that he passed away

I had gotten a text back from some one today... I texted him to see if he wanted to get something eat while I was in naples for the hour tomorrow... Un-fucking-believable..... Havent had the heart to call his house yet but he was a great guy, always there to help, and damn sure was always there to make you laugh..

The South Florida Volvo scene just got a little bit smaller...

You will be missed Cliff

[wmartinlsmith]

[MattyXXL]

Like I just told Rob... Fuck man this is so messed up.... at 30!! bro im 32, I smoke, im over weight...

[vmaxx]

He was telling me about Eurotreffen but I was like "nah, I aint driving all the way up there for just a 5 hour meet."

Was reaally hoping to see how his R has progressed since last year... and how much quicker it's gotten since our last race.

I remember ragging on him about how he had his gauges tilted, and his response was always at least i got gauges bitch, you just have gauge and its in your vent too.....

[vmaxx]

He seemed like someone who I would have gotten along well with.

[Mattphi]

Met him at Fixxfest last year. This is really sad.

[boxpin]

I think its great that some of you are going to attend. Just a small part of his life but good for his family to see the respect of the small Volvo family that meant a lot to him.

[sacrifice]

Damn, 30 years young. That's a scary thought.

[Yellow95]

He was in Naples? I was in Ft Myers for 18 years. How did I never meet him?

[fivex84]

Very sad to here that about someone so young.
