A Michigan Army veteran who turned his life around with a bike shop died in a crash while delivering free bikes to children in Florida affected by Hurricane Ian, his family said.

profile in the Detroit Free Press“One lady said, ‘We couldn’t afford a bicycle, and your father gave my son a bicycle.’ I was really blown away at the impact that he had,” Pringle’s son, Jason Pringle,Someone placed a bike, painted white, at the scene of the Punta Gorda crash, a common memorial to victims of fatal collisions. There’s a message on the frame: “May the legend live on.”

Pringle was driving a pickup truck with a trailer of bikes when he drove through an intersection that was missing a stop sign due to the hurricane, the Free Press reported.Pringle earlier this year told the newspaper that he had been in despair, eating poorly and living in a camper when he had an awakening while praying the Catholic rosary. It eventually turned into Build a Bicycle — Bicycle Therapy, a shop in Kingsford where he fixed bikes, sold new ones and gave many away.

“I’ve had people in the beginning who told me, ‘You donate too much,’” Pringle said. “But the more we donate, the more that comes back at the end of the day. I don’t need money. What am I gonna do with it, collect it and save it?”

Is there a donation page of any kind, to his family or for his bike shop?

And yet we are stuck with degenerates like trump and Musk and all the grifters for both sides. God leaves all the trash

🙏❤️

What did he do that he needed to turn his life around? Was he a criminal?

Why He died because of a kind act? Why God?

Wow, what a stand up guy. Need people like that and less megalomaniacs. RIP buddy.

It’s always the good ones. 😔🙏🏻🙏🏻

Praying for a speedy recovery 🙏🏼
