    You were the best kisser I ever had! I remember our first date was coffee at Starbucks, I offered to pay and you said “The day you have to pay for anything will be the day you decide to quit hanging out with me.” Always the gentleman, you opened all doors for me and made me feel like a princess. Even though things didn’t work out between us romantically we remained good friends for years. It makes me so sad to know I was just at your extremely too clean house playing with Beefy and now you’re gone. I thought it was a bad dream or knowing you, a sick joke! But now I see it was not. I told you I hated motorcycles…I thought of you always, my biggest regret is not bringing you soup when you were sick last week. I’m so sorry. I know you didn’t ask me directly to bring you soup, but I hate myself for not doing it because that could’ve been the very last time I saw you and I missed that opportunity to have one extra day with my friend. I love you, Preston, and will miss you until we meet again. XOXO

    They say the worst things happen to the best people, well, I guess they’re right. You were robbed of many good years way to early and I have never seen something so unfair. You will be missed never forgotten. RIP…see ya one day bro…

    I lived with Preston for nine months this year. I was able to get to know him on his down time when he would really show his true colors. He was extremely OCD and really good at interior decorating, haha. He’d clean his house twice a week and still think it needed to be cleaned some more. Every time I came home and he had found some other interesting piece to decorate his home he would be beaming with pride and just had to know how awesome it looked. He would spend hours in the garage tinkering on things he loved and doing all of the neighbors’ side work whether he wanted to or not, haha. Preston was very sensitive towards other people and always put himself last, even when it came to people that had no business asking for his help. He would take care of them anyway. I have never met anyone as selfless or as passionate as Preston. We have so few people like him walking this earth and yet one of them was taken from us way before his time. It breaks my heart that I will never see his bright eyes so full of joy and life or hear one of his lewd offensive jokes ever again. It just is not right. He is the kind of person that you can meet once and never forget because he is so memorable. He took some much pride in everything he did. May he rest in peace and his mother and brother are in my prayers.

    Even exceptional riders are no match for riding at a high rate of speed at the 110 & 10 interchange.

    Preston bro, you will be missed. As a rider I understand that you went out having fun. Sad that you had to go man but I always said that if I went out, i’d want to go out in having a blast. Everytime I ride ill ride for you bro. Ride to live, live to ride brother

    I only know of preston maybe met a time or two, but I do know this. He was an exceptional rider, great guy and a true biker. An old biker once told me ” son…. Ride Hard and Die Free ” As I aged and now am an old biker , I get his meaning. Never back down, never apolagize and never make excuses and always do the right thing…..RIP Bro !
