On Tuesday November 16th one of my best friends Nicholas "Ace" Rodriguez was killed in a motorcycle accident. He was only 21 years old and his gf is 4 months pregnant with a baby boy. I have known Nick since we were kids and i can honestly say its like loosing a brother

. I am still in a state of shock, all i can think about is that fact that he will never get to see his baby, his own flesh and blood, and the baby will never know his dad.
We are having a car wash tomorrow to raise money for his funeral, I would really appreciate it if some of the local zilvians came out and showed some support.

the car wash will be at la sierra park in riverside, ca from 9am - 4 or 5pm.

5205 La Sierra Ave, Riverside, CA 92505

RIP NICK RODRIGUEZ

YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN

you can't blame your self man, i acted the same way a year and a half ago when my buddy past on due to a motorcycle accident. i saw him the day before and told him he needed to get a new tire cause his was bald and that he would be lucky if he didn't dump it. not 24 hours later i got a call from a friend saying he went down and he was in real bad shape, by the time i got to the hospitol he was gone. RIP Tony.

RIP Ace.

i just dont know what to do man. nothing helps. ive been drinking. actually makes it worse. we used to do everything together. everywhere we went it was nick and nick, shit never got old (my name is nick too).
i just know that if i was there he wouldn't have even been on his bike. he would have been in my passengers seat and still with us today.
