I remember riding home on the bike through one of the worst storms I’d ever been in. I looked at the article about that storm today reminiscing, when I looked at the date of the article I realized it happened a year and one day before he passed away. I hated that ride, I still do. We got pelted in the face with hail for hours. We had a 417km trip to make and we made a really dumb decision to wear our helmets that didn’t have facial coverage, my first time not wearing the full-face at that. I didn’t bring a jacket, I didn’t have any rain gear, and I was so angry. I laugh now though. My dad was absolutely sure we’d be fine, “oh we’ll make it, we aren’t going that close to Calgary” he had said reassuringly. We stopped at a truck stop gas station and I was drying my jeans with the extremely old and out-dated hand-dryer, sobbing because I was so cold, scared, and unimpressed by it all. I messaged every friend I could for a ride while drying my jeans, and I was so happy when someone said yes! I ran out to my dad sitting at a booth to tell him he could go whenever he wanted, but when I got to the booth he had two coffees for us and was saying this trip would be one for the books, and beamed when he got to tell me a great philosophy of his: “You can take a hundred rides on a hundred nice days and talk about it with your friends when you’re home, but it’s days like today you’ll remember for a lifetime, and tell people about it years after.” I immediately felt bad and cancelled my safe and warm ride home and stuck it out with my dad. He was right, I wouldn’t forget it, and I didn’t have enough unforgettable moments with him; still don’t. We didn’t get enough time together and I miss my dad all the time. Once in a while I forget that you’re gone and think “wow haha can’t wait to call my dad and tell him-“ and that’s as far as that thought goes before I remember: and I get really upset when I do that. I wish more than anything to call you and rant to each other about nothing and about everything. I could honestly go on and on about my dad. So I’ll end on this message to you: thank you for never giving up on me, you never stopped believing in me, and every day someone tries to hurt me or put me down, I just think about your belief in me and remember that, just like the moon pulling from afar these ocean tides, you from afar, pull me through this crash course of a life and keep me going. I miss you, and I love you.

If this is the same Darryl Sautner, R.I.P. old friend. Can someone let me know if Darryl attended King George Junior High School in Calgary? If so, he was the first one to make friends with me as I ventured from a different elementary school to Grade 7. We lost touch over the years but we think about him often. Another old friend of mine, Terry Lawrence (who lived near Darryl in Calgary) were out for a beer the other night, literally less than a week ago and we both wondered how Darryl was doing and where he was. He was a very kind soul. My condolences.

Jesse and family,
My condolences to you for your dad’s passing. I knew your dad when you were just a baby. I’m sure he’ll be sadly missed as he was a great guy! Ride On Darryl!
