I was SUPER shocked to hear that BMX and X Games Legend Dave Mirra was found dead yesterday. He was only 41 years old. He leaves a wife and two kids behind. Dave was in Sheboygan a few years ago (11-12-2010) promoting financial awareness and life goals. He's was one of the most down-to-earth "regular" guys you'd ever meet. I also remember how friendly he was. He had time for everyone that day. Sad to see him gone.
