RIP trickyrix

I know many of you don't follow the MME Facebook Group but I just found out and thought I'd pass on the devastating news.

Rick Orwig passed away today. I'm absolutely shocked.

Godspeed my friend. Hit all the apexes on the way.

So very sad.... RIP Rick

I'm so sad. RIP Rick. A bolt out of the blue for me. I had no idea he had health issues.

I was told he was having trouble breathing today and went to the hospital, where he had a heart attack.

RIP Rick, I'll miss your warm smile, genuine hugs, and smartass remarks. Today is a very sad day.

Rest in Peace, Rick.

So sorry to hear that...RIP Rick.

Oh Man. He was a great guy. RIP Rick.

Second friend taken too soon this week, damn. :(

You'll be sorely missed. Looking at my phone I texted with you more than my wife.... She called you my girlfriend when we'd banter a night.

It's taken me a few hours to process Ricks loss. I'm stunned. Such a loss to the DFW Miata community, but more so a loss for countless friends. And he was a friend, to almost everyone he ever met. Just exchanged pm's and some laughs yesterday. Irreplaceable.

I remember my last Hallett coming home and laughing our ass off cause he could hardly get out of the car with the racing seat in. Never a good day when a friend leaves us too soon.

I am going to a funeral of a 28 yr old tomorrow.

God speed Rick. I am so sad to hear this. Thanks for letting us know Droptop. Damn damn damn.

Very sad news indeed. :( RIP Rick

Very sad, he will be missed. He was always very genuine and had a great sense of humor. Rest in peace Rick

Very sad, too young. Thanks for the friendship and good times.

Shocked. Sad. One day here, and then gone. Much too soon. But, now he's gone on a place where the Mavs/Rangers/Stars always win and he can pick from any of the great tracks to drive on. Vaya con Dios Rick.

Not sure who took this pic, but it speaks volumes……………..

One of the best friends I've ever had. We shared many beers and secrets on his back porch last year.
Still in shock that he's gone, and I still keep expecting him to text me any moment... :(

R.I.P. Rick, we only met a couple of times but from what I could see he was a great guy :(

He was one of those true great guys! Always there to help when needed! I remember I had an alternator failure coming back from MSR. He was there by the side of the highway digging in until it was fixed and followed me home! I can't believe you'r gone, Rick! RIP!

See ya'll tonight.

Great pics Nails! Rick was always smiling.

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing. Sorry I couldn't make the memorial.

Damn I can't believe it. I got off a plane and saw the post on facebook, thought it had to be a joke, really sad to learn it's not...

I didn't know Rick very well offline, but we'd met at a handful of times at Propwash and Kellers. The thing I remember is he didn't know me at all but always remembered my name, always came up to chat, would talk to me for awhile every time about how my car was going and other stuff, showed me things he'd just done on his car and offered his help, just like as if we'd hung out all the time. Great guy, I wish I had of known him as well as some of you.

RIP Rick...I'm really going to miss your epic facebook battles.

It was really nice to meet Rick's parents and family on Wednesday. No wonder Rick was such a great guy.


Maybe the mods could set up a memorial section on the forum for past forum members. None of us are getting any younger.
