Just wanted all our friends here on BYC to know that Ronnie Payne's father was killed in an accident yesterday afternoon. Two of his three children were in the accident with their grandfather on I81 also. They were transported to DC by helicopter. Ronnie...
fatsu here on BYC, was on his way home from the Gower's Chickenstock when the accident happened.
Please remember Ronnie and his family in your prayers and check back here for updates on the children's conditions and for funeral information. What a sad end to a fun day. Ronnie's father was beloved by many, including the ChickenJunkies. May he rest in peace.
Update: After 6 hours little Ronnie is out of surgery and the DR's say everything went as expected. His leg was broken in two places. He is out of ICU and in his room, may get to come home Tues. Ronnie's daughter was released last night without a scratch, thank God!
Update: The Viewing for Ron Payne will be held at Hunter Anderson Funeral Home in Berkeley Springs, WV Wednesday June 5th from 2pm-4pm and 7pm-9pm. Funeral services will also be held at Hunter Anderson Funeral Home Thursday June 6th at 2pm.

Ronnie and his young family are going to be having a lot of expenses due to this tragic accident. If anyone would be so kind as to want to help him out and send a donation to him and his family... I know this is his PayPal email.

Please help out. If everyone just sent a dollar... or whatever you can afford, it would help them so much. I know he would appreciate it. He has been without a job now for a while and I know he works hard to take care of his 3 kids and wife. She is working 2 jobs until Ronnie finds something. This unexpected and tragic accident is going to be so hard for them financially as well. Gas to the hospital in DC, eating out, hospital and Dr. bills, the helicopters, meds... the list will be endless. Please help!!!
Again, Ronnie's PayPal is
