Rode with him once. Super great guy. Great vibe and energy.

Positive thoughts to his family.

wow, only 33 and a young family as well - so sad.

condolences to his family and friends.

We rode with Eugene years ago quite a few times.

So young, tragic.

My condolences to you and the kids.

Sharon and Lee.

I started following his blog a short while ago, which was really inspirational, he kept so upbeat even against the odds which has helped me with my fight. Sad to hear him lose his battle.

Condolences and prayers to his family and friends. :trinity:

Very sad when something like this happens to such a young man with a young family! My deepest condolences. Be in peace!

That's just sad to hear. My condolences to his family and friends.

Heartbreaking news.

I wonder if there's anything we can do as a community for the family?
If anyone has an idea please email it to me.

So sad to leave such a nice family without a Dad [HTML_REMOVED] husband. RIP, Khoolhandz. May there be epic downhill wherever you are bound. When we lose people like this, the world is really poorer for it.

RIP

Heartbreaking news.

Could find a buyer for his bike. That's a big chunk of change lying around for his family.

Sad news. I met Eugene many years ago and rode with him a few times. A good guy. My condolences to the Bahia family.

Eugene was a coworker is my fist real job. Even though I screwed up everything I touched he was always smiling, enthusiastic and made me feel like part of the team. He was the person who told me that they ride bikes in Whistler, he was a life changing person to meet.
