I know this is the wrong forum and it will prolly be moved, (forgive me mods) but I wanted everyone to see it.

Most of you will remeber Andrew as Troxel, or perhaps USAF_Volfan. He was outspoken to say the least. His real name was Andrew. He was a soilder and had a young child.

Two days ago, Andrew was killed in a vehicle accident in Kuwait. He and three others were in a some type of cargo vehicle that overturned after hitting a large crater. Obviously, his family is in shambles.
He leaves behind a wife and 1 two year old boy. He was 31 years old. Right now me and few of his closer friends are staying with his wife and child and trying to help out.

My heart goes out to his family. Kudos for trying to comfort his widow in this most difficult circumstance.

Whoops, I should have mentioned that part was taken from another post on another forum. I do not know his family personally.

That is horrible news. It reminds me that with all the heights and depths of football season there are things infinitely more important going on in the world. Hopefully, Troxel is in a better place and may God bless his family and friends.

Life is short and fleeting whether we have taken an easy road or a more difficult journey. I hope we will all be able to appreciate that his death occurred while doing work that was for us all.

I am so sad!!!!!!!! I was just yesterday reading a joke he emailed me last year, I had it saved and every time I needed a laugh, I read it. He always had alot to say.....how many times did he get kicked off this site??? What a guy!!!

To his family: God bless you!! My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you. Trox is a hero, to all of us, and I am personally proud to have known him, even if only though internet chat.

Sports are so insignificant when things like this happen. As someone who has family serving here, I know that it is a tough thing to swallow to hear something like that. My family's prayers go out to those affected and may God keep his family safe and comforted during this difficult time.

I'm in disbelief, how can he be dead when we were just arguing what seems like last week, I just can't believe it. My best friend got back from Iraq in October (got married last weekend) and I don't know what I would have done if he had died. The Prom king at our high school during our senior year was killed last fall, it just doesn't seem real to be honest....
