In memory: 2 West Seattle notes

ADMIRAL CRASH VICTIM OFFICIALLY IDENTIFIED: The man killed early Sunday in the 2-car Admiral/37th crash was identified by the King County Medical Examiner’s Office this afternoon as 29-year-old Daniel G. Ramirez. Commenters who identified themselves as relatives posted in the thread following Sunday morning’s coverage, saying he was a father of two and had just bought the silver SUV that day. No final announcement of the crash’s cause is likely for weeks, if not months; the short summary from police on Sunday said only that “speed and alcohol may have been” factors.

FEEDBACK LOUNGE LOSES A FAMILY MEMBER: Around 7 last night, Feedback Lounge (WSB sponsor) announced via Twitter that they were closing for the rest of the night because of a death in the family. They are back open today, explaining on the FL website, “We are sad to announce that we lost a member of our staff. MIKE BLAKEMORE was only 27 and a new employee, but he was an instant and welcome addition to our Feedback family. We will post details for a memorial service shortly. Thank all of your for your calls, e-mails and support.”

Namaste

We were in Feedback on Sunday and the bartender shared the news moments after he’d heard it. He was so shaken and our heartfelt condolences go out to the whole team…

Hang in there!

Nicole, I missed the judgemental comments that seem to have been written – and am glad I did. While I did not know your cousin, I lost a cousin last summer and endured reading comments elsewhere about him and his death by people who did not know him. It is tragic enough without people passing judgment on those they do not know. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Sorry, comment time is over.
