I didn't know him personally or even followed him on Twitter, but have a lot of followers in common and apparently he was a big White Sox fan. Died in a car accident over the weekend. Prayers for his family, especially his daughter who was in the car with him.
And also a big F.U. to the kids who were drag racing and caused the accident. Why is it that the people who cause the accidents always walk away with minor cuts and bruises, and the innocent people lose their lives? Just a reminder people that life is a gift and enjoy it.

A west suburban man was killed and his teenage daughter injured when their SUV was struck by a vehicle involved in a drag race Friday night in Aurora.
Charles D. Siebel Jr., 49, was driving his 2004 Toyota Highlander eastbound on Shenandoah Drive about 10:15 p.m. when he stopped at the stop sign at Eola Road, according to Aurora police.
He then tried to turn northbound onto Eola when the SUV was struck by a 2011 Dodge Charger that was speeding southbound on Eola, police said.
The driver of the Charger, a 16-year-old Aurora boy, was drag-racing with a 20-year-old Plainfield man driving a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, police said. The driver of the Grand Prix was just south of the other two vehicles when they crashed, and ended up hitting the center median and ending up in the northbound lanes.
Siebel and his 15-year-old daughter were extricated from their SUV, police said. He was taken to Rush Copley Medical Center, where he died at 3 a.m. Monday, police said. His daughter is being treated for serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.
Charges are pending against both of the other drivers. The 16-year-old suffered minor injuries, and the 20-year-old refused medical treatment.
