We lost a Fanatic and a good friend

Kenny Gibbs was a good friend to Delma and I and I know that anyone that has met him will say the same. We was proud of his Yellow 2004 SSR that he named Plain Jane (also his name on this forum) and spent most of his life selling motorcycles at a dealership in Colorado before retiring in Sun City. He was involved in a one person fatal motorcycle accident recently.

I just wanted to share with all of you some pictures that I have taken of Kenny and Shirley Gibbs.

The following quote is something Kenny told me and I will remember it forever.

Quote:
Life is like a Football game, I feel like I'm playing in the forth quarter and I'm praying for overtime. (he said this with a smile on his face, he loved life and Shirley)

FYI....

Shirley just called me and wants me to help her sell the SSR. If anyone is looking for or knows someone that is looking for a 2004 Yellow SSR let me know I will get you in touch with her.

Sounds like he died doing what he loved. I guess you can't ask for more than that. Condolences to his wife and family.

Thanks for sharing this, Bill.

It's really sad to see one of the family pass on. Kenny had a great spirit and was always a pleasure to share a little time with. I'll miss him too.

We'll put Shirley on our prayer list, for sure.

Nancy and I are just chrushed to hear of Kenny's passing, seems like yesterday we were having breakfest with you two at the International Ralley.

We will miss Kenny and wish the best for Shirley. Shirley you are very close in Sun City, so if you need some help send us a PM!
