Tragic loss to FIRST

[Squeakypig]

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Special thanks to you Mike, I know you are taking this just as hard if not harder than everyone on Crevo.

I met Mays in October of 2008 at Stevenson High School in Sterling Heights, Michigan. At first I thought he was kind of weird because of that blue trench coat he wore all of the time. He was one of the few mentors we had who helped create 2851. I was a student at the time and got to know him very well over those 2 years as a student. After I graduated, I wanted to stay working with the team as a Mentor. That is when Mays stopped being my teacher, and starting being my friend. And he did one hell of a job there. We had a lot of fun together nerding it out every day. Making jokes around the other mentors including programming references that nobody else could understand. Every tournament, relaying to him who we were up against, who we were with, which auton had to be run. Everything worked like clockwork. It's really hard to think how we will go on without him, but we have to. It's what he would have wanted.

Just wanted to share a little of my story with him. These 5 years have been very rewarding, and it would not have been the same without him. Rest in peace Mays.
