Re: Arron????
I'm glad someone got a hold of me from BuellXB. I didn't know how to get in touch with anyone. I don't know what you know. But the accident happened March 5 in the morning. He was heading to his ride along with the ems to complete his program and hit a patch of ice that threw him into the guard rail. The guard rail tossed him into oncoming traffic where he was hit by another vehicle. It was an instant thing which I think is the only good thing about this horrible accident. As far as the funeral goes, we are tossing days around but nothing is set in stone as of yet.

Please pass along the message to anyone you can that I will keep you all posted and that appearances at his funeral would be appreciated. I never knew just how many hearts he had touched and this entire weekend I have been trying to get a hold of people who were close to him. Please feel free to message me. Thank you for expressing your condolences.

Hey everyone, I just read a few post on delta one's (Arron Pedelty) Facebook wall. He has past on. I don't know any specifics at all. I've sent a few messages to his friends to find out what happened to him. But his last post was disturbing "Pain, lots O' pain" posted March 1st and since Saturday there's been nothing but condolences posted up and his sister asking for help with the funeral.

Though I didn't know him on a real deep personal level, we have exchanged a lot of messages through here and email and exchanged a lot of parts and have had a few conversations. We "clicked" and agreed on a lot of things. He was an honest standup guy and contributed a lot to this forum.

Sad to see such a great person go.

I'll post up whatever I find out.

HIS Quotes from his FB.

"If it almost killed you, it was probably AWESOME!!!

Ride hard or ride home.

I refuse to tiptoe through life only to arrive safely at death
...
ride wide open till you see god, when you do see god, count to three THEN brake(you know why? cause brakes are for pussies, but it's better than running over god isn't it?)

riding safe is staying home, riding smart is gearing up before hitting the streets."

So sad to hear this. I had exchanged several emails with him in the past regarding EMS and him becoming a paramedic and he seemed so enthused about it. Deep condolences to all who knew him.

 

[buellbee]

RIP, big loss on the forums for sure. my heart goes out to his family and friends.

The short time I knew Aaron he was very positive. He was one of the people that kept me around this forum in the beginning when many others laughed at me. Stand up guy. Him and his sense of humor will be greatly missed. My condolence's to Aarons family.

 

[upthemaiden]

that's awful! hate to hear anything like that. thanks for keeping us updated though.

 

[Raisingicarus]

Just did a quick Google search and it looks like he was involved in an MVA this past weekend. News report said the icy roads were a factor, and everyone else in the car survived. Again, a true loss for us all.

I am at a loss for words ,
dont know what to say ,
he was great on the forum and he will be missed on here and I am sure his Buell and the roads will miss him greatly too.

We should all dedicate our next ride on our Buells in his honor.

Rest in Peace Delta One
my prayers go out to him and his family and friends, & those who rode with him.

 

[Xb12sLt]

I'm sorry to hear that, are prayers are with his family. [sad]

I sent his sister a message and await a reply. As soon as I find anything out I will post it up.

CASNOVIA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - One person died and three others were hospitalized after a crash on M-37 in Muskegon County on Saturday morning.

Arron Pedelty, 26, apparently lost control of his car on M-37 at White Road. He crossed into another lane and hit a vehicle with three females inside.

Icy roads are thought to be the reason he lost control.

Pedelty was killed instantly. The three females are from Newaygo County and their injuries were nonlife-threatening.

I'm speechless, this is terrible. Its a very sad day. [sad]

 

[Xb12sLt]

If there's anything we could do for his family let us know...was he married, did he have children? I'm not internet savvy enough to set it up but mabey we could set up a fund to help them out. Again, its hard to know the right thing to say but I'm sorry for the loss.

 

[iman501]

yea i'm assuming he was married, and i think he had a young son....at least thats what his pictures make it look like

 

[Jobe Zeebuh]

I think we should set up a paypal account for his family. I would donate. Can a mod set this up?
