Wow. Retirement on horizon..... Bless family

Even though there isn't a lot of messages on how we all feel about this. If the family is looking on. Nothing but love & respect and we're all sorry it happened. Our deepest condolences from management to the least junior employee. A fallen member of big brown is like losing family. You're in all of our thoughts.

Runaway tires are nuts.
Hopefully it was quick and painless.

You can be retired and the same thing could happen to you. Just not in a UPS truck. Unless you plan on spending your retirement laying in bed 24/7.

We had a rental trailer sitting in our yard for a few years that the whole set of duel tires/hub and all came off killing someone.
