I just learned of my dad’s passing. I’m the TJ. If anyone could reach out in would love to talk. I know it’s a weird situation and a lot of time has passed.

Good riddance, this POS should have been buried in 1989. Shared 15 years of my life with this drunken as$hole, glad he finally left the family at 2 am in the morning, 1989. Had I the chance I would have put him in the ground myself, and to think I ended up living 80 miles away from him 14 years later and for the next 21 years. should have really done that ride last year to see him and throat punch him. to bad he won't have a grave site, would really love to leave a bit of warm bodily fluids on top of it.

In memory of John Ward Reed, Preston Smith lit a candle
