My condolences and respects to his immediate family. I was his best friend and never hesitated to call him BRO. He was always in a positive attitude. Rarely, have I seen him mad or angry. Even when he was, he always had that smile of his. Whenever I was doing bad and in the dumps, Che was always making me smile and laugh. He had an excellent, excellent sense of humor. Now I know he's kicking it with my mother in whom he enjoyed gossiping with. I'll miss him always. Never again will I drink n drive, in honor of him. I hope we all will.

My heart goes out to his parents and all who will miss him. From the comments I've heard, he must have been a very sweet young man. However, this is something that should remind us of the importance of seatbelts. Many years ago, when I ran a rental car agency, I rented a car to some young folks who drove from Austin to Houston and back. On the way back, they were front-ended by a drunk driver. The passenger was ejected through the windshield and died at the scene. She wasn't wearing a seatbelt. The driver, who was, sustained minor injuries. I took my kids to see that car, and explained to them what had happened. To this day, 20 years later, the first thing they do when they get into a car is put on their seatbelts.
