The trip home from CTTS 2013 was with a very heavy heart. Jimmy Melton was a first year rider with CTTS. He came to ride as an able bodied support rider to help his friend Jacob this year. Not only did Jimmy sign up to ride the route each day, pushing as needed, but he also took care of the needs of a friend at the stops each night on the way. I had only met Jimmy during the ride this year, but I could clearly see that he was a genuine, caring, and compassionate man. With no warning, Jimmy passed away during the night following the ride.
Jimmy, you will be missed greatly by your friends and family. Our prayers are with you family during this difficult time.
