A dear friend

A really good friend and a great man died Friday night. Tyrone Jamal was on his way home from work, fell asleep and ran off the road and died. I guess what I am trying to say is that....... If you are tired, dont push it, stay a few minutes longer and get a power nap or whatever. Its not worth putting your life at risk and hurting your family and friends. Just a thought, not a serman. He was 37 years old, had 4 beautiful kids and a beautiful wife. Thank you to everyone on this forum for letting me vent a little....

Sorry to hear Randy. Prayers sent to you and his family.

I agree 100% with you when it comes to driving tired. I have had some close calls in the past. Scared the crap out of me.

So sorry for your loss. Good words of advice for all of us.

sorry for your lost, RIP

Sorry to hear about your friend Randy. prayers out to you, his wife and kids!!!

Sorry about ur loss man, I damn near ran off the roa once when I was tired and it was not a good feeling. May our prayers go out to his family

sorry to hear about your friend.

My condolences to you and his family.

Thanks to the installer of those "rumble strips" along the sides of the highway. I've done been there several times. I now where to stop for a few winks. One tree and one Equinox later.

Sorry for your loss, and thoughts and prayers to his family.

I was in a bad car accident a long time ago as a passenger where the driver fell asleep (all 3 of us were sleeping) I woke up right before going into a ditch and wasnt able to wake the driver. lets just say dont ever want to go through that again

sorry to hear that bro.

So sorry to hear that, Randy...


I am also another who has been tired way too many times behind the wheel. It sure is a scary thing and there are times it definitely sneaks up on me after a few miles eventhough I felt totaly fine minutes before getting into the car!

Our prayers are with you

I'm sorry to hear you lost your friend. It serves a lesson to us all that we need to slow down. Prayers to his family and friends.

I agree i have a part time driving job in the middle of the night and its not worth fighting the sleep. sorry for the loss of your friend

I really do appreciate everyone thoughts and prayers. Thanks again, he will be missed dearly

very sad indeed...I used to wonder how anyone could fall asleep while driving...then I was put on 11-7 shift for about 7 years...I know now that you can nod or doze off for a second or so...and it's very scary waking up drifting into the gravel!!!!!!
