#178 In Memorian

Earlier this week, Justin Smith passed away after being in a coma for ten months. His death is still a mystery. He had gone for a ride on the four-wheeler, and later he and his vehicle were brought back to his home by some strangers who then disappeared. They were never found. I knew Dustin because he loaded the vehicles at a local feed store. It was a job only for the very strong and the careful. Justin gave me a tan panther sighting. He saw the cat by his home which was on the north border of O'Leno State Park. He had also seen a cougar in Colorado, and was a great lover of nature. May you rest in peace, Justin.
