September 3rd, 2011 our friend and Mike's IP from Flight School, Rich Herron, lost his battle with cancer. He is survived by his incredibly strong wife, Lachelle, and an amazing family who loved him very much. This past weekend the boys & I went to his memorial service and the love felt in this family was overwhelming. Rich was very young and many things throughout his battle reminded me of my brother. Rich's brother said at the service that Rich saw his prognosis as a gift. He felt like he was given an opportunity to return to his faith and make sure everyone he loved and cared for knew. We all do not get that chance. He got to leave this earth and go onto the next one in peace. RIP Rich Herron. You had an incredible impact on our lives, thank you for teaching Mike how to fly!
