New kiter passes away!

[Steve-O]

Some awful news to share with the kiting community of Tampa Bay. A student of mine, Mike Williams, 24 years of age, died last week of sudden heart failure. Many of you may have seen this new guy on our local waters over the past month. He was getting dialed in and falling in love with our great sport. He never got to jump, or experience even a smooth transition. He was all heart and without question was going to chase this sport like many of us do. His family said that was all he talked about. It reminds me how precious life is and how too often we take so much for granted. I am still troubled by the news of his passing.
