     On July 12, 2011 my little world stopped and was forever changed, a dear, dear friend was killed in an accident. Merle Faucette was a great man, father and friend, there has not been a day since he passed that he has not been missed. This man who dedicated his life to helping others was called home to Heaven to be an Angel to those of us who need his guidance.
     Merle was a strong yet loving man, he loved his wife Brenda, his son Matt and his daughter Monica with everything he was. He worked hard to make sure they had the things they needed and even in death keeps giving. Merle was an EMT and a volunteer fire fighter, he lived to help those in need. He also loved his dog Harley and his motorcycle. To Merle motorcycling was his release, but never taken for granted. He was the most conscientious biker rider, he was very careful to follow every law. He was very careful, didn't speed, wore the proper equipment but was still able to have fun. As a firefighter and EMT he had seen way too many bad ends to the motorcycle.
     Brenda, Matt and Monica have forever been changed, their lives altered from the course it was taking. They will never fully heal, never forget. They are now without the love of their life, their father, the friend. He was a great man and will forever be missed, so on this day I would like to say, Merle Faucette You are forever loved and missed.
