 Post subject: So Sad. Eisley fan passes away. Please respondPosted: Sat May 15, 2004 5:39 am 
I posted this sad news in my journal early this morning, but I felt it deserved way more attention, seeing how my ramblings are somewhat buried in the recording bloggs. William Chavez and Kimberly Wilcox, hardcore Eisley fans, were in a serious car accident yesterday and William passed away. Kimberly was William's girlfriend. She's in a an 8 week recovery period. This news came from their friend, Gregg, who originally pm'd me this message: Quote: hate to do this in such an impersonal way like a message on a
board. Yesterday morning two of the biggest Eisley fans ever were involved in a serious car accident; Kimberly, a regular user of the boards here, and her boyfriend William. William passed away shortly thereafter and Kimberly is now in the hospital for two weeks and will be immobilzed for 8 weeks. Eisley was a big part of both of their lives and I just wanted you and the band to know how much the music meant to William, and how much I'm sure it will continue to mean to Kimberly. At first I didn't recognize them, but later, I remembered meeting William on the floor at the San Diego show before Eisley's set. He came up and asked me questions about songs and which ones might be on the record. Later, I remembered they were in a group of guys who drove all the way to LA to see the band. He was talking to me from stage while I was fiddling with gear. I keep fighting back tears even though I barely met them. He was so nice... such a happy guy, it seemed. Weston came in last night and was shocked...totally remembers William; talked to him for a long time... same story, "he was cool...so nice...". This morning Chauntelle saw the picture and was really taken back; so sad... she said she talked to William for a long time...with Kimberly (who was probably more shy)...from stage, after the show, etc. Wanted to know when she could pm Kimberly. Anyway, we're going to send flowers to her house; I just got another email from Gregg, the friend, who said, they're going to let her recover at home...she gets out tomorrow. (that's good news) Please everybody, post something here. And if any forum members who consider themselves a vital part of this community, team together and send something; Chad and others have already mentioned the idea. If you want to send an email, send it to Gregg: Gregg Fuller <gfuller@socal.rr.com> Or if he gives me another option, we'll use that. Greg is a member here so he'll probably post. I don't know Kimberly's username yet. Actually, once we get that, maybe we should send her private messages. I don't know if that would be overwhelming for her or if she can even get to a computer after she's home. Thanks everyone. And please keep these guys in your prayers. They're going to need it. boyd _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.

Is there a way we can make donations, maybe through eisleymerch.com, for flowers and cards? The forum could do something like we did for Kim Dupree when she was in the hospital but i don't know if Kimberly would want her address up on the forum for all to have. again, this is terrible news. deepest condolences go out to all the friends and families affected. _________________ "Religions have started on lesser revelations" - investor on MarketWatch.com |

Again, this is such sad news, even though I didn't know either of these two. This place just feels like such a community... We can just be thankful that Kimberly survived, and continue to pray that she fully recovers. It's good to know that Eisley could bring joy to Will's life--it sounds like he really loved the band. P.S. Boyd, you might want to re-check the second sentence of your second paragraph and edit it. |

But my brother is at home and can do what I need him to as soon I tell him. My ship e-mail is betialoikatj@curts.navy.mil. Inform me of any assisstance I can provide.

I cannot afford to do anything but wish a good recovery for kimberly...I have no money to send her flowers or a card or even give something to his family...but I hope she will do fine and I feel for his family and friends.... I can't even really express how it makes me feel I never met them but I can hardly breathe.... _________________ my flickr |

That is just terrible news  . I have never met the two, but yet as bgburroughs said, this place is such a community so I still feel some connection to them. I hope that Kimberly recovers fully noth physically and emotionally. I will light some candles for the two and their families. _________________ Audioscrobbler Now

I'll keep an eye on this at work, I'll definitely do something. That's so sad ... Moreso when I figure out the usernames and probably put the personalities with the faces and names ... Anyway, if there's a mass forum gift or donation or whatever, make sure to PM me (whoever) if you can ... I'll definitely chip in. I'm going to be at work for the next 8-10 hours ... but I'll keep checking back here.

I am so sorry to hear this. I have been through many deaths in my family growing up and it never gets easier no matter how many times it happens. My deepest condolences to Kimberly, William, and their families. And I wish a quick recovery for Kimberly. _________________

Aye me. My prayers goes out to Kimberly and Will's family. You all are right, this has become a community to me and many, in a sense. It strikes me hard to see such a young man go without living the fullness of life. I only hope Kimberly will have a speedily recovery and be able to cherish the memories they both shared with Eisley, the boardies, and each other.

Hello all.. I'm Gregg, Kimberly and William's Friend. It's been an intense couple days for all of us over here and the support you've all shown is amazing and wonderful to recieve. William rarely if ever posted on the community, his username was "fastfretwill" and Kimberly's is "berlies_" I'm not sure what else to say. If anyone has any ideas on how this should work. Perhaps I'll open up my paypal account for the donation or whatever. Thank you all for the support and everything. It means more than you can imagine. Thank you, Gregg |

Remember there are always "ecards". I think it would be ok to send them to their friend: Gregg Fuller <gfuller@socal.rr.com> Also, for those wanting to actually send something, we need to find out from Gregg how their family's are handling things. There may be a fund set up that we could donate to in lou of flowers. Just a thought. |

i didn't really know them but they look like some sweet people. William's eyes and bright smile look as if he made anyone around him smile and laugh. My deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, along with Kimberly's. Kimberly will be in my prayers for a quick recovery and immense strength to get through this tradegy. _________________ and iiiii can't live without you and i don't want to. i've done that all my life up til now.

I am completely devestated. I'm speechless... no idea what to say. To lose a loved one at such a young age is unthinkable. Kim is going to need a massive amount of love and support to get through this. _________________ Jamie (the female version) |

I agree with Kim. Let's see if there's a fund or something we can contribute to. That could help a lot more than flowers. In the meantime, I'm going to be praying a lot for the families and friends and for Kimberly's recovery. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |
