I know that this is a shock, but it seems that this man died in Sept. 2009. He drowned while swimming in a lake with his girlfriend. Very sad. He had so much to live for.:(

How awful

I just learned this by checking out his blog... how sad, shocking and just unbeleivable!

After everything he did to accomplish all the things he accomplished.

Oh how sad. What an inspiration he was. Hugs and prayers for his family and friends.

I believe he was actually training for a triathalon at the time. It is amazing that he was living his dream after losing weight. It is sad that he didn't get a chance to live longer but I imagine for the short period of time, he enjoyed his weight loss and actually living his life.

I Am Lost For Words~all I Can Think To Say Is Amazing~inspiring~no More Excuses People~we Can All Do This!
We Should All Look At How Far He Has Come & Know It Is Possible~we Just Gotta Do It.
In His Memory!!!!

That is such sad news. I wish I had had the chance to talk with him - what a great journey he was on.

wow you should write a book. You are AMAZING x infinity. Your story is so inspiring and motivating. Thanks so much for sharing.

This story more than any other success story I've ever read has truly inspired me. It really reiterates not putting off reaching to achieve our dreams, because who will know when we won't have the chance to.

Amazing! Congrats and thanks for sharing :woohoo:
