RIP :cry:

This truly is a sad time. As a former neighbor of DJ and his family and close friend to DJ, I am stunned at his passing. A man like DJ is rare in our world today. Someone who genuinely cares for his friends and family and that is always willing to help out someone in trouble. He was the kind of person that what you saw is what you got. A true genius with computers and an amazing talent with his cars. He bought his first festiva from one of my employees and amazed me with his transformation of it. Every time he did something new to one of his cars, he would bring it by and say "hey, check this out." A man who lived life at 110% and gave his all on all of his endeavors.
I will surely miss you my friend.

I too never had the chance to meet DJ face to face but I have parts from him on my car and knowledge from him in my head. I don't post much around here but he was great at PMing back about any and all questions I had, which was invaluable in keeping my little Festiva running...Techno was an inspiration and the reason I started looking at my festi in a new light.

He will be GREATLY missed and I give thanks to my ford festiva and this board for giving my the opportunity to know DJ.

My families prayers are with you mamabear and family.

Rest in Peace, DJ.

This is truly a shock to me! I never met DJ but the foundation he built here will last forever. Although I am new to the site it was the reason I decided to purchase a festiva. DJ, you will be truly missed. My prayers go out to the Hayek family.

As for this site I want to ensure that it runs forever and I will do whatever I can to make that happen.

I remember the first time looking on cardomain for festivas and the first one I saw was Techno. I must say he was my first inspiration. R.I.P. DJ...you will be missed brother.

[miami man]

apart from the festivas dj was a true american and stood up for his country when people was bashing the united states. the united states as a whole lost a great citizen.

These are sad times for the FF.com community.

To the Hayek family,

Just by reading car related posts, it was obvious that DJ was a wonderful person, husband, father and grandfather. It is a great loss, where ever DJ was involved.

I will pray for comfort and stregth for all of you

DJ - I cried for you last night... I cried for your family... I pray that your friends, relatives, and neighbors, along with the entire FF.com community, helps your family continue on. I'll remember the good times of you, the random phone calls for help on the board or just to tell me what was going on in your life. I'll remember the first time of seeing your car and wanting something similar. I'll remember the true friendship that we had.

I've heard a good quote before that "Goodbye is not forever" and I hope that's true. That one day, we'll meet again and have the 2 baddest Festivas wherever we are.

Much love DJ. You'll be missed.

My good friend and inspiration, you have done much for us here. You have inspired me to do great things, your name will always be treated with respect and honor. I will miss the good times talking to you on messenger and on the phone, you will be remembered here and around the world. We will always let the dream of Festiva's live on and remember the things we have learned from you. We are all greatful for all you have done for us, and I am most greatful to you my friend and all you have inspired me to do. Loosing you is a great loss. You will never be forgotten.

May this site always live on and unite as friends.

May the Lord be with your family and comfort them in these times.

You will be missed my friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family, may the Lord comfort them in these times of sorrow.


Respectfully,

Inga,
That is good that you got to say goodbye, alot of people do not get that chance. I can more than likely vouch for everyone here when i say this, but We will never forget this great man, I'm sure mattswab or packrat will be setting up a paypal account for this purpose as well, but i will send what i can for you and your family, plus i am forwarding the sad news to a few sites im on as well. Your husband had a great heart, never took sides (from what i saw of him) always a great sense of humor, very helpful in whatever we needed.

Inga if you need to talk to someone you may email me or pm me or anything and I will talk with you. I have also emailed Travis about that as well.
my email address is warlocke@kc.rr.com
Im sure that if you need to talk to someone right away anyone on here would be more than happy to talk with you guys.

Hang in there Inga, it will get better.

You will always have a home here on fordfestiva.com
