    I just wanted to pass along some information to people who may be interested in the passing of Kris Eggle, a great guy and a great teammate at U of M.

    Apparently, Kris was shot and killed on Friday in a shoot-out with a Mexican drug dealer while working as a US National Park Ranger outside Tucson, AZ.

    I hope everyone who reads this will say a prayer for Kris and his family, all such incredibly good people. Kris was as nice a guy as you'll ever meet, and will be missed. What more can you say...

    So much to offer the world and snuffed out just like that. I'll certainly pray for his family and friends. Thanks for posting that.

    Just a reminder that the Bible tells us that our life is like a vapor, here one minute and gone the next. I'm so ever thankful that Jesus died and rose again so that we can have eternal life.

    Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?

    That is very sad and we all will pray for him.

    1 positive(if there is such a thing in all of this) if you read the article the SOB who shot him was shot and killed trying to get away.

    It'd be better if the SOB was thrown in a prison and raped for a couple of months before being put in a burlap bag and beaten to his bloody death.

    Let the running community unite and show support for Kris' family.
