Tragic loss to FIRST

[Crusty0628]

Mays was the first mentor I really clicked with when I joined Crevolution as a High School senior in 2010. He encouraged me to try out as our team's drive coach and spent countless hours helping me prepare for our competitions. He is the reason I continued with robotics after I attended my first Kick-Off and was a key factor in my decision to pursue an engineering degree. He was one of the most dedicated mentors FIRST has ever had, spending more hours at the build site than at his day job each week. If you have ever attended a competition that 2851 was at you would know him, either from hearing his enthusiastic cheers from 3 stands away, how he danced in the aisle way ever time the Chicken Dance was played, or by seeing him race through the pits to help his team that was in desperate need of a quick-fix. He was such a fun spirit and a wonderful advocate for the STEM fields and he will be missed terribly. We love you Mays..
