Viper Family,

I spoke to the director of Pace-Stancil Funeral Home in Cleveland. I asked him to seek JoLyn Myrick's approval for the Viper club to drive our Vipers to the funeral as a tribute to her husband John. The director called back this afternoon and said JoLyn was very happy with this request and that she thought this was indeed a fitting tribute to John and his love of Vipers.

So I am asking all Viper owners to pay their respects to one of their own by driving in a caravan of Vipers to Cleveland to attend the memorial services. If you own a Viper, you are a brother or sister and are invited. Old friends, new friends, strangers, everyone that owns a Viper. John will love this. Life is so fragile and can be taken from us at any moment. It is in the respect we show for others at this time that is a measure of our own character. So let's show our character and send John away to his Viper Paradise with growls of V10s, and more importantly, the warmth of a brother.

We will meet at Country Market Restaurant, 23412 State Hwy 242 (I-59 and 242), New Caney, TX and leave at 2:00PM for a leisurely trip to Cleveland. For those that want to have lunch and visit, meet at 1:00PM.

I will be in my Viper rain or shine. Look forward to seeing you all there.

Regards,

Jim Boeker

I was just thinking if he would have wanted a bunch of Vipers at his service. Just for the record... I would LOVE to have a caravan of Vipers at my funeral. Keep this as a record in case my family tries to make a fuss.

Maybe the combined rumblings of the V-10's will wake me from my eternal slumber... heck if that doesn't, NOTHING will!

Here's to you, John! Wish I could make it there for ya, pal.

Just wanted to take a second to express my thanks to the members of this forum, the National VCA, and to the Houston Area group during this time. Everyone was moved by the display of brotherhood by the local club who took their time to drive up and express support for John's family. It was a very thoughtful and moving tribute on the part of his "extended car family".

Thanks again,
Jarrod

Jarrod, the members with their cars at John's services were pleased to represent VCA Houston. We were all glad to be there, and could not have asked for a better reception than we received. Thank you for providing early information on the forums so we could plan our attendance.

Dara, your Uncle Brad (John) was a great guy, and you are all such a nice family. Thank you and your family for making the Viper friends feel welcome. I met John's brother Brent and his cousins - all good folk.

Sorry to hear. Condolences to the family and friends.

 

[Dara Myrick]

Hi everyone, i am Brent Myrick, Brad's (John) older brother. I want to thank all of you for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. My brother was an incredible person. We went to a lot of nascar races around the country. He loved fast cars since he was a little boy. First it was Vette's, then he got snake bit. In 2004 i purchased a vette, he thought that was so cool,but i think he was setting me up to get snake bit also.When the pain lessens i may look into purchasing a Viper. He loved those cars and his truck. Thank you to all the folks that drove up to Cleveland on saturday. I am sure my brother was smiling down on us. God Bless each and everyone of you. Please be careful out there on the road because you never know

 

[Kenneth Krieger]

From all of the members of the AZ Region VCA our condolences to the Myrick family. These types of tragedies are very difficult, and our thoughts and prayers go out for you. May God bless you and keep you.

The Board just received this EMail from his Father.

"All Viper Club members:

My name is Doyle Myrick . Brad ,(or John as you know him) is my son. His mother and I want to thank all for the nice words about our son Brad. Vipers, as well as other performance cars, were his great passion. Brad is the youngest of my two sons. He has one sister being the middle child. We do not understand his death but are working very hard to do so. Brad was so loved and admired by so many people. Our entire family wishes to thank all of you for being such an important part of his life. I wish all of you could have spent some personal time with him. You needed to know him as we know him. Every time we see a Viper on the road will say hello to Brad. We miss him so much. Thank you."

 

[Cop Magnet]

Thanks to Lee and everyone involved in the funeral gathering, for the updates and for pulling it all together. Again, my heartfelt condolences.

 

[Viper Wizard]

Very sad to hear! Our condolences go out to the Myrick family.
The first time I talked to John was Nov. 03 and we clicked right off the bat. John you will be missed! "Race in Heaven"
