Lost a family member yesterday


Recommended Posts

I call him my grandson, he is my son-in-laws son from a previous marriage, we are still not sure what happened but he died last night about 6:30 PM yesterday, 3 witnesses say hit and run, police can not make up their mind. His Busa had a flat tire when he came out to go to work in the AM so he was riding his fathers motorcycle, he had gone to work, went to girl friends house and was on the way home on I-95, the tracks indicate a sharp left turn from the left side of the center lane and then bike sliding to the center median, he slide straight down the center lane of the interstate. He was a really good person, everyone that has said anything about him has only had good things to say. I will refrain from stating what I think in regards to the hit and run, it is over and done, I just hope that someday if this is true the person that may have done this will get their just punishment. All you folks that ride bikes out there be careful as there are people that will hurt you and keep on running. R.I.P. Jonathan Holifield you were a great young man of only 22 years, you had a full life ahead of you but it is no more. God Bless and keep you forever.

You have my sympathy for sure. It's always sad to see someone so young loose their life.

I've gotten to the point where I don't even like to get on I-95. Too many nuts that think its a racetrack mixed with idiots trying to text.

Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, we had the memorial service today and for a young man that said he did not have many friends the chapel at Strickland funeral home in Pooler was full today, proof that he was well thought of, it really made us feel good that so many people thought that much of him to take Saturday afternoon to go to a memorial service. Although we were sad at the loss of this life we know he was a good person and it was proven today. Jonathan I have no idea if you could see or not, I certainly hope you could see the tribute to your life here.
