Xtreme Tuner Showdown Founder died

I just found out tonight that the founder of the XtremeTuner Shwdown died in December 2008 along with his wife and 3 year old son. Their 5 year old survived his wounds.

This years show will be dedicated to the memory of Rick Kelly. Lets all go this year to support the friends and family.

R.I.P.

Oh my goodness, him and his wife were so nice to us at their shows. I'm shocked and sad. What a loss.

RIP

They have a post up in FB about it. The show will now be dedicated to them and I believe his name will be attached to the show name from now on.

I feel most for the 5 year old, having to witness what happened and grow up with that memory of your parents and being without them the rest of his life. RIP Kelly's
