One of our YOUNG members, Zach, passed away last week.  He had such a bright and long future ahead, cut far too short.  I have known Zach a good few years as my youngest daughter's friend and the kid ate, breathed, slept ETC all that was Ducati.   

The memorial service for Zach is this Thursday, viewing 5-7 pm in Apopka...Service at 7 pm.  I NEED YOUR HELP TO JOIN ME in a tribute to Zach he deserves.  I will lead a group of bikes, hoping for as many Ducati representatives as possible, but pleased to have all other brands join....we will arrive at Church about 6:30/6:45 for service.  My BIGGEST hope/plan/wish for Zach is at the end of his service, at which point I will have all bikes lined up and we will fire them all up at once in a tribute to Zach.  His dad is over-joyed by this offer and idea and I am hoping to show Zach out in ITALIAN DUCATI STYLE...he will be wearing his brand new, what was to be his Christmas gift, Ducati Mechanica t-shirt, shipped via PureDucati overnight at NO CHARGE...because THAT IS THE DUCATI WAY and LOVE. 

I will post exact address for church and a meet spot/time for us to ride in, but if you CAN make it, PLEASE email rsvp of sorts to me...I am not sure I will be able to get back on here again before..so email me please at Heathergln@Comcast.net   
THANK YOU ALL
Luv to all

Would love to be part of it. Just too far for me. RIP Dill

Thank you for organizing this procession; I hope it gives some comfort to Zach's family and friends.

I am too far to be part of it.  However, I am glad that DMF and fellow Ducatistas can participate for a proper send off.

I'm in Texas or I'd be there. Hope you have a great turn out. Glad his Dad approves. Again, RIP Zach and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. God bless them all.

Damn..had we stuck to the plan, I'd be in Florida right now and able to join in the procession. Ill be riding to work that day though here in AZ in Zach's honor.  Hope it's a good turn out.

Very noble of you.  not a better send off for an enthusiast.   I hope hundreds show for a memorable service. 

Wish I could.  Good on you for what you are doing.

So sad.

RIP

From Washington State, I'll be there in spirit.
