Everyone who knew these two men was shocked by the news of their deaths. Byrge leaves behind a wife and four children and Coons leaves behind a wife and three children. In honor of these two men, who were big cycling and outdoors enthusiasts, their friends and family organized a 20-mile bike ride last Friday. I heard that about 200 people participated in it. A funeral will be held for Byrge tomorrow and for Coons on Wednesday. Visit the John and Bryan Memorial Page on Facebook to find information on how to donate to their families and show your support in other ways. Here is a video about Byrge that highlights some of his favorite activities:
