I lost a friend much too young a couple of weeks ago. He was 26, and died in a motorcycle accident. He was speeding (verified by witnesses), lost control of his Ducati and hit a kerb. He incurred a brain injury on landing.
Kid was brilliant. He was principal harpist in about a dozen Perth ensembles, a brilliant singer and composer, and his career as a doctor was developing fast. One of the most courageous people I ever met—he was always doing stuff like posting videos of him jumping off moving horses and that kind of thing.
Anyway, bit of a long and personal reflection on another death much too young. No one should be dead before their time, and I'm sorry that Reyes has gone. People will remember him for his electric pace and his instant threatening running when he appeared at Arsenal from Spain. God we could use a player like him now.
