It saddens me to say that we have lost a dear
member of the Portland fixed gear community
yesterday. Stacy was one of those people that
everyone has a story about him. Everyone rode
with him at one time. He probably snapped
your picture at a bike event and you didn't even
know it. You probably drank one of his beers.
He spent hours in the shop but never got tattooed.
He'd always be chilling out in one of the red chairs
playing angry birds looking on as one of our friends
was getting work done. I was lucky enough to go on
more than a few rides with him and see him at many
events. But my fondest memory of him was when
Converge played at the Satyricon. When the bridge
broke on the song "Lonewolves" I ran across the pit
and jumped on his back as we yelled out the lyrics
pressed against the stage.
You will be missed Stacy. We will ride with heavy hearts.
So say we all.
