BT Legend JDWright would've been 46 years old today. If you didn't know him, then you missed out -- great guy, great friend and all around BAMF. I, for one, miss our conversations, eating lunch when passing through Des Moines and having him call me a dbag whenever he got the chance, even when in and out of consciousness in the hospital bed.

A little bit about the man, the myth, the legend, our friend and fellow triathlete John Wright:

Tugs on my heart strings every time the RAGBRAI picture comes up on the top banner.  Miss him big time.

Seems like a great guy.  And obviously a good friend.  Thoughts and prayers to all that knew him.

Did not have the pleasure of meeting him, but if Tony liked him, he must have been one heck of a guy.

Yeah. I don't even know what to say. I think we are all feeling the same way. Choked up.

He and I talked a few times over the phone. We both helped each other talk some things through. 

He was a good man. 

 

I have not yet been able to delete him from my skype sidebar. 

Eternal rest grant him, O Lord. Let light perpetual shine upon him.
