Quest for 300th jump ends tragically for competitive skydiver.

By Amy Wood
Monday, July 28, 2008

Reid Ashe (pictured 2nd from left with the Southern Draw Skydiving team) competed all over the country. 

He was going for his 300th skydiving jump when his main shoot failed and he couldn’t get his backup chute to work.

Ashe competed with the Univeristy of Georgia skydiving club and is the son of our Chief Operating Officer at our parent company Media General. 

I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child.  The circumstances don’t really make one death worse than another, it’s always a parent without their child.  And children, no matter how grown, are still our babies.

Our hearts go out to Mr. Ashe and his family as they cope with their tremendous loss.

Reid Ashe was 23 years old.

In life, we take chances.  There are no guarantees for anything we do.  The more riskier things we do are dangerous, but driving down the road everyday is dangerous, too.  When God pulls our number, we are going - no matter what. I tell my children that it is kinda like standing in line at the highway department and holding the number waiting on them to call you.  We all hold “the number”, and when God calls it, we have to go.

No one could have said it better than…..

”  The circumstances don’t really make one death worse than another, it’s always a parent without their child.  And children, no matter how grown, are still our babies. “

No matter how we go, the results are the same - someone is left without a child, parent, grandparent, sling, etc…

Nothing can prepare a parent for the sudden loss of a child, even if the child is already grown.  My heart goes out to these people.  They are in my prayers.
