Die Hard: What can I say but this, WarriorAce is and always will be an inspiration to me and hopefully all those that know him in KSI. Since I first met him and he joined my squad he has always been one that never looked back, asked what if, or made excuses for his actions just accepted the recourse. This is a guy that works 5 and 6 days a week for a logging company. He would get up at 3am just to make it to work on time, why, because he walked both to and from work everyday. Not a big deal? It was a bit over 5 miles one way. lift 300lb+ logs all day onto a truck, then walk home. That takes dedication and spirit. He used money he had saved to buy his mother a car instead of himself so she would have means of transportation, not used for him to get to work.. Talk about family, That's warrior alright. on top of all that he would help his mother and any family member with dinner, cleaning, just whatever needed to be done....AND still found time to be in KSI and be active and work his way up to now the Gen of Octane. Now lets get to the inspirational part, incase I havent inspired you yet....It was at work he had a major accident. A larger than life log fell, crushing warriors legs and pinning him to the ground. After EMS arrived and they finally got him free and rushed to the ER, it was there he was told that he would never walk again. Can you imagine, walking was this kids life. Anybody's for that matter. He was devastated. I remember when he sent me a pm request I had no clue yet of his accident. Hey bud I said How the heck are ya? But instead of his usual voice and response I got Not good....I could already tell something bad and I mean bad had to have happened, so i prepped for the worst. Warrior? You ok? Everyone there ok? I cant walk. I dont know what I am gonna do.....At this point he told me about what happened and I did what any friend should do....I didnt let him give up or quit. I talked to him everyday I could. He didnt quit, and man did he ever never give up....Its powerful what happened next. 3 weeks go by, for warrior that meant physical therapy 5 days a week 5 or 6 hours a day and countless hours of pain. I get on and hes in a party so I jump in to ask how hes doing. I get a good real good. I walked today. Yea thats right I walked......He fought on and 2 weeks later I get a message telling me to check out a video he sent me on kik.....I cried and still get emotional when I think about it...I opened the video and there was warrior, huffing and puffin, looking at his phone he said that miracles happen all over the world to all types of people, well today was his miracle, he was running....I cried...along with this was a personal message to me and a thank you....This kid went from you will never walk again with legs that were mangled to the bone to running in 5 weeks. It takes an unreal amount of dedication, determination, and heart to overcome these things along with his everyday problems, and of course to stay active in KSI. All the time helping others with their problems, answering members questions, recruiting and training. He would give help and inspiration to all that asked. For me, this kid has had his share of problems and hasn't even batted and eyelash when overcoming them. For me Warrior you are and always will be an inspiration as to what we can accomplish as people in our own daily lives if we would just put our minds to it and not let give up or quit ever be apart of the equation. You have and always will hold a place in our hearts, and hope that one day you will know what it is we feel when we say we are proud of you and proud to have been there for you when you needed us. Award or not Ace, you are a Die Hard...Here's to you bud.
I hope this enough to show why he deserves this award and possibly member assistance. Thank you for your time and if you must I still have the video...lol
