Another tragedy. I'm sorry to hear about this. Our prayers are with his family.
This has been the worst year I can remember for losing fellow four wheelers. Please be safe out there. Check, double check and don't take chances.

Midwest JeepThing, Mid Rivers JeepThing and Southern Illinois Jeep Assocation recently went through a loss also.
I hope we all take a moment to say a prayer for everyone out there on the trails to keep SAFETY FIRST.
Taken from a personal letter written by Dave Morris
On July 27 of 2004 around 4PM we lost some very dear friends. Allen and Sue Huntington where on vacation to visit some family members, and spend sometime sight seeing in Colorado. At approximately 4pm they encountered a very strong rain storm. While traveling the winding mountain roads, their jeep some how left the pavement; and Allen and Sue started on their “ultimate journey” together.
Allen and Sue were some of the nicest and loving people that I ever had the pleasure of knowing. Everywhere Allen and Sue went they always had smiling faces and could always turn a negative thing into something to laugh about. I was privileged to not only know Allen and Sue through the jeep clubs, but also got to know them on a more personal level. They both loved each other just as much as they loved life itself. They treated their friends just like family, and always shared great stories from their past hobbies.
Losing friends or loved one never gets easy .. but it does make it better knowing that they ... Allen & Sue .. and your friend went doing something they loved ..
We will never know their final choices that started their last adventure .. but will forever have memories to repeat in our minds.
My prayers are with you and your friends family during this time of loss

Hey Scramblerman72 , I am saddened and very sorry to hear of the loss of your best friend. My heart and kind thoughts go out to you and the family of the dear departed.
In addition to expressing my sympathies here I wanted to note that the method of donation that you have outlined is a little inconvienient for most and it would be much easier for people to donate if one were to create a Paypal account using the bank routing details that you posted and then once the account had been created in the families name then one could just create a donation button that would link directly to the account. Since that Donation Button would be listed as plain ol HTML (web code) then one could (with Al's permission - of course) add that HTML to the topic or posting and those who viewed the topic and wanted to donate could click on the Donation Button.
I know , I know you are thinking " How in the hell am I going to do that".
Well , I have taken steps to simplify the process for you by contacting Paypal and having them send me a complete set of step by step instructions and here they are.

My best friend Died today at age of 37 Over a basic simple mistake!
We where at our truckwars/mudbog for The Moonlight stompers On Duffield RD.
After he broke his front end he desided to still play in 2wd. I had left and didn't see it happen but what happend was everyone got in a hurry and lots of trucks stuck with dozers and 6" straps all over the place ...
David was an advacate of safety But we'll never know what went through his head this time... But they broke the cardanal rule os Hooking 2 (small) 3" straps together with a Clevis (wich is like a rocket and what killed him)and David was unfortunate to have the brand new strap on his Jeep (they where out of 6" straps that day so he bought a 3") so when the strap let loose from the other Jeep while David was truned around looking backwards being pulled out from the back...The Clevis hit him in the head and killed him instantly..
He was the nicest man I know and would do anything for anyone!
He was survived by his Wife and 5 yr old Son Both where there the wife seen it happen the son still doesn't know and wont be told untill tomorrow!
I will post funeral arangments tomorrow and would request that anyone who cares PLEASE Show up and pay respects to his family..
He died doing what he loved best and the wife said it would be a blessing to her to see all his friend show suport!
He was the man that came Up to Grandmans and yogies with me....and if anyone has a picture of us in teh Jeep AT ALL could you post it here so we can print it out ...we are doing a clage of him and his Jeep for his wife and also a vidieo of him at all our mud bogs!
We will set up a trust fund for his wife at a later date! I will repost all this info when I get back in town or have my wife do it all becasue im going away for work for 4 weeks But I will get the info to you!
Any donations would be Great! also all vidios of that bog and of the vidieo of Just him will go to his wife!
SO please use this as a warning and be more careful of using to small of a strap while pulling out people..and try to never use a Clevis in the middle..
David knew this but failed to do it this one time probley figureing he wasn't stuck back and it would be ok and he paid for it with his Life!
In loveing Memory of David Wycoff
Aug 19th 1967- Oct 9th 2004
Here is a pic of his Jeep
Im posting this on another Jeep site that I don't know how to post pics on so they can see his Jeep and get me all of the picks of David for me to make a colage for his wife!

This is the same Man that gave me his Jeep a few weeks back to wheel at another bog while he was gone since some of you will rember the Jeep in my past thread...
I loaned him my power washer and when i told him my wife wanted it back while i was away on work for the next 4 weeks so she could wash that van He said Tell he to just come over and Go out with my wife while i watched the kids and I'll wash it for her so she doesn't ahve to ..thats just the way he was!
he will be missed!

ITs hard...I can't sleep!
I was with him all day...we where parners in our truck wars and after the games where over we started the mud bog. He and I pulled a few people out ( we both always loved to do that) we desided to take a run at a hard hole we knew would be a merical to cross. that even 49's go down in! we ran through that hole and went down so hard it bent both leave springs and pushed that shackels back and broke the front drive shaft! So true to spirt Of Dave went up to the garage and change out the front U joint and also the front axle yoke since it was half dead and mostly to blame why the front shaft broke all the time! so we got it all fixed up while My wife is on My nextell (2 way cell) cus she wanted me to come home since it was my last day to see her for 4 weeks!... but it was early so I kept putting it off and having fun! and told her I was going to watch Dave go through one more time cus Marie (his wife) was going to drive.... she went right out and drove throught a diferant hole and snaped the Out put shaft on the 205 t-case! all the mean time we were joking about how we just fixed it and she broke it and she was joking and saying it was our cobble job that didn't hold up! So the shackels did it again and after prying them back we deside we couldnt hurt it any farther so I got in the skid steer and pushed the Jeep down ward to unbend the springs by pushing down on both side of the bumper......it worked! then a huge truck got stuck and the dozer couldnt get it out so we used my winch on the front of his Jeep and went up to the dozer blade as and ancor and winched him out while the wife was bitching again...So I left my winch duties in his hands and said have fun See ya in 4 weeks..I will call you when I get back!..I went and met my wife at my mother house so I could get a hair cut! get it all done and was down stairs when My 2 way went off and them yelling for me to hurry up and get back their ..so when I asked whats up My other friend told me what happend... I threw my cloths back on ( couldnt go in moms all muddy) and drove about 70 MPH on the dirt road! since he was about 15 miles away all the while Aarron telling me it doest look go to just hurry up and get there..... took the ambulance so long to respod ( not that it mattered cus he died instantly with out a dought) that I seent The cops and ambulance pull in 1/4 mile before me! and helped his wife as was putting her in my car to follow the ambulance they walked up to me after I closed the door A guy walks up and huged me and said (words i will never forget)" BROTHER THEY PERNOUNCED HIM DOA AND WON'T BE TAKING HIM TO THE HOSPITAL BUT TO HURLY" and his dad showed up and while I was waiting for the right time to tell them David was allready pronounced DOA some dip**** cop walks up and says it with a strait face that his was Dead and their was nothing they could do and they both fell to the ground.... what a suttal way to tell some one their loved one was dead!
Not to be sick but more to get a point across!
(edited So his MOM could read)
Im just thankful that the once that where close by helped him right away and seen what he looked like and stoped Marie before she could get there I seen him after wards..she dosn't want that picture in her head! I know I don't
She wanted to go in and see him and I told her that she wanted to rember Dave how he was not how he is!
Our friend in the truck stuck next to him was watching him Heard the Snap and in a split second seen it hit Dave and he slumped right over and never moved again!
So many veriables would have stoped this...
None of wich I know is anyones falt and Im not beating my self up for this... It was just his time and no one could have stoped it!
sorry to ramble on but it helps me to talk about it and maybe it will safe some lives .....God does things for a reason!

Hello sorry it took so long!
David E Wyckoff Memorial Fund
P.O. Box 253
Hartland, MI
48353
*REASON FOR CHANGE IN THE ADDRESS OF THE MEMORIAL FUND IS THAT THE BANKS ATTORNEY WISHES THE BANKS NAME NOT TO BE POSTED ONLINE SO THEY GIVE US THIS P.O. BOX TO USE FOR IT. THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING...PAYPAL IS STILL ACTIVE IF ANYONE WOULD RATHER USE THAT.
Every penny goes to Marie Wyckoff and her son.
Its a non profit organization account with a tax ID # or EIN #
Some have told me it might be tax deductable not sure you can ask uncle sam or the bank
I will look in to it father at a later date
I was gone from the bank allready when some one said that!
ITs a family relief fund so she can take car of bills and such now that David is gone.
Anyting you can spare please send it to them how ever you chose to get it to the bank

Well its Done... We burried a friend today...it was great, severvice was Nice Standing room only hundreds of people showed lots of trucks!
That how "ITs a Jeep thing you wouldn't under stand" was proven to my club today..Im the only Jeep! a fellow Michigan Jeepers member read the post where i was asking that they all atended to get a bunch of Jeeps there and this man, whom I have never meet or even talked to directly just from each others post...called me up and said he couldn't get off work and attend But asked if i could drive his Jeep since mine was down...thats right a total stranger told me to take his Jeep and use it! so I said ya because I wanted to be in a Jeep not a ford truck, plus I figured it was some stocker or close to it! then he asked if I could trailer it over to the church because it wasn't street legal becuase it had 1 ton 40's and full hydro stearing.... thats right a full blown rock crawling rig comp cut with 40 irocs fuelinjected Small block chevy Jp aluminum body CJ-7 My club fliped ...I said its a Jeep thing since I said the same thing a few weeks before when David wyckoff loaned me his for a mudbog! I think there are starting to belive how close us Jeepers really are!
Persesions was about a mile and a half long!
after it was over and everone left we lowered him in the ground and they sealed him up we all grabed the shovels and burried him...it was a nice ending..only thing we for got was to bring the mud to back fill him with... but we got some from the wheel wells of a friends truck!

I would like to express my condolences to the wife and child. I would also like to think that all of the jeepers in misouri and in that case all over the world will be praying. When you go out to play the only thing you think of is the fun you are having and sometimes this can end very badly. I like to think that all of the jeepers around the country are one big family group, and we will all morn the loss of one of our own. Be careful out there.

This one brings tears to the eyes. For the poor man, his family (the image of his wife and son are the worst), his friends who were there, you Scrambler...it gets you. Expressing sympathy doesn't seem enough.
I lost my best friend ever to a momentary lapse of safety. You don't quite get over it. Something always follows you for the rest of your life and you get pathologically neurotic about one particular thing...I am a pest about safety now, especially seatbelts (that was my friend's safety lapse.)
Let yourself grieve. Try not to block the process with alcohol or pills. Cry if you must...it cleans out your system. Hug those you love as much as you possibly can. They are the best thing to help you heal. Don't try to be too much of a stoic, it can make you sick. And we are here if you need to vent...to hell with spelling or grammar...we know what you mean.
For the rest of us:
If someone is pestering you about a safety procedure or issue, please take the time to check your ego and your impatience with whatever it is you are working with. Sloppy use of an item, improper use of the item and improper procedure kills. Please gang, check that "Won't happen to me" attitude at your front door because you are the one it WILL happen to.
If this incident doesn't get you...just look at your wife, kids...the guys you wheel with. Do you want to put them through this?

I have been a member of JA for a while but I never post(to shy I guess), but I feel the need this time to say how sorry I am! I can not begin to feel the pain you are in right now, but I can understand it. You, your family and David's family and the rest of his friends are all in my prayers! Just know that now when you are out there wheeling...you will have a guardain angel with you.
Take care and be careful!

That's terrible, its never good to read of someone's death, but especially someone that seems to be as well-liked as he was. But it does underline the fact that you can never let down as far as safety goes. Hopefully this will be a wake-up for those that need it.

Man, this really sucks. Sorry for your loss and send my condolences to the family.
Let this be an eyeopener for the rest of the offroad community. What we do is a no shit it can kill you. Heed the warnings of straps with hooks, winches, hi-lifts, and how/what you attach to.

What a terrible loss and tragedy. My sympathy goes out to all his family and friends. This goes a long way to support the old adage that safety is not about probabilities, but rather, possibilities. It is unfortunate that something bad like this has to happen to reinforce stuff that we should already know.

That is so sad. I know its common to say "I feel your pain" but I lost my brother when we were both young men - I do feel your pain and it sucks bad.
Keep typing and talking. Let it out, and keep him in your heart.

Wow. It's hard to believe reality sometimes. It's always sad to hear a death in the 4x4 family. Give the famly my condolences. There was a thread not too long ago including that Jeep too wasn't there? If so, was that the guy? I am truly sorry to hear about your best friend.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll be praying for his wife and kid. It just goes to show you that even if we are very safe that anything can happen at anytime and we'd better treasure everything and everyone we have.

Talk it out. It's the best way. Please convey our condolences, and set up the trust fund. Funerals cost lots, and kids tuitions cost lots too. I will donate whatever I can.
Make sure all the people that were there, especially the people that were helping with the winching, have someone to talk to as well.
I'm a cop, and we call these things critical incidents. If people don't talk after a critical incident, that's when we worry about them, and keep close watch.
Make sure you have lots of pictures and videos of him to give to the son when he gets old enough. Let him see that his dad enjoyed this hobby.
Keep talking, brother.

let it out man, it helps to talk. These guys were here for me when Rave died... so we're all here for you too.
Having recently lost my best friend to Leukemia, i can tell you this, it hurts now, and it will continue to hurt, Once the funeral is over, and there's some closure there, it wont hurt as much, but you certainly dont forget. its been about 8 months since i lost Adam, and probably on a daily basis i see, or hear, or do something that reminds me of him, and our friendship.
If you need to talk, we're here, and i'm sure i speak for everyone when i say, I'll listen, and offer any advice i can.
It's hard man, but you'll make it, be there for his family, theyll need it the most.
Now ya got me all teared up... My condolences to you, and your friends family.
