Unhappy We lost an F owner yesterday. :-(

A friend of mine and elowderm (poster here), Walt Powell, passed away of natural causes yesterday at the age of 33. I have no idea what kind of natural causes exist at 33 that could cause someone to just drop dead, and I don't care to discuss it frankly.

Walt had a beautiful 2011 USB w/ headers and exhaust and loved the hell out of his car. He was also a ridiculous beer aficionado. Dude was known internationally in the craft beer world. He was also a hell of a jokester. I know you guys would have loved him.

He joined us for the first big F roll out to the car show in Austin/Leander, and we got lots of looks and questions from those unfortunate enough to not know what the ISF is.

Gonna miss you buddy.

Very sad to hear. Among many words I think the F in ISF stands for Family, we are all like a huge family. He is in a better place now.

Death comes to us all, some too early, some just on time. But those who truly live are rare. Sounds like he was one of them. I am sorry for your loss.

As a 33 year old ISF loving beer brewer, this hit hard man. Its waaaaay too young. I hope his friends and family take comfort in the fun and full life I assume he lived.

Cheers!
