Prayers for J.R. (Yota) and his son, Ethan

I just saw this via a Facebook post from Yota's sister, but his son, Ethan, has been critically injured in a car accident. Your prayers and donations are appreciated. Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I didn't see it.

Holy crap Yota I'm saddened to hear this news ! Know that you and your son are in my thoughts and prayers !

I've always dreaded "the phonecall", but luckily I haven't had to. Prayers your way!

Just saw this posting on Facebook.

Prayers to you and your family my friend.

Ethan had complications after his surgery yesterday and took a turn for the worse. His body is strong, however, his brain is hurt to bad to recover. God has a plan that we may never understand. Ethan is loved by so many and will be missed dearly.

In Ethan’s passing, so many lives will be touch. His organs have been donated and will give others a brighter future.

We cannot tell you enough how much we appreciate your prayers, love and support. Please remember our family in the days to come.

Our sincerest condolences. God bless.

Prayers for my buddy J.R. and for the entire family.

I just got back from the GA Rally......this news took all the wind out of my sail. Saddened to the core. Prayers JR

I am truly sorry to hear this.
"Kouragio" as we say in these parts (courage and strength).

Not to be morbid or anything and if asking too much don't answer and excuse my curiosity but, what exactly happened? As a tow truck driver I see quite a bit and those injuries I gleened from here seem pretty extensive.

Was helping some friends move was riding back with his friends father & he lost control & hit a tree.

So very sorry to hear this. My sincere condolences and I grieve with you and this whole community.

Thank you for answering, seems it's the luck of the draw in those accidents. I have seen some waljk away from horror and other pass from minor collisions. I am terribly sorry for your loss, a good friend of mine lost his son too and I know from the otside the sorrw. I hope you are strong enough to bear it and have some semblance of happiness in the future.

So sorry to hear of your loss, JR.

Prayers and hugs to you, your family and Ethan's friends.
