Christophe and Luz Goodrich. They died early this morning as a result of a motorcycle accident. They have 3 children.
They were very much in love.
Chris was a great father. He loved his kids with his whole heart.
Chris in the hospital after being shot in the liver during a mission in the Korengal Valley in '09. He was our platoon's forward observer.

This is so sad. So sorry OP :(

Plz know..Bikers are way more at peace with the risk involved than they are with a life without riding. I hope that gives you peace too.
inagoddadavida
Sorry for your loss, @OP. They sound like they were good people. I hope their kids go to a good family who tell stories about their parents.
BewareoftheLeopard
this is sad, no way about it, I hope those kids remember their parents fondly, look after them OP. teach them about their dad.

The Cav. will welcome you at Fiddler's Green.
theCatIsOnFire
Damn. My heart goes to those affected. And damn, Korengal valley? That is one of the most deceptively beautiful shitholes on the planet.
BigRedMonkeyButts
Yeah, umm... elephant in the room here. Why are you riding motorcycles when you have children? Riding motorcycles has inherent added risk.
nottheguyyouwerethinkingitwas
As a Goodrich myself (might not be related), I feel the loss. As a rider and former USMC, hits a little harder. I'm sorry my friend.

Fuck off, get your own heaven.

I know I should say something but I can only think about how he is about to frenchkiss the goat...
PizzaPringler
It's ok. That was just Goodrich being Goodrich. He'd smile if he knew that made you chuckle.

Here's a gofundme for their kids. Please consider helping. https://www.gofundme.com/2dqjctbe

Whats gonna happen to the children?

Sorry for your loss. Riding after midnight (sans helmets) is risky. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/concialdi-722069-freeway-woman.html

Fuck man, he survived Korengal Valley only to die in a accident here
PizzaPringler
Actually, he BARELY survived the Korengal. He was shot in the liver and almost died. Even after being shot, he was coordinating fires.
iAmNature
I watched a documentary on Korengal... shit was wild. Getting shot at daily.
InsertPotatoHere
It always makes me sad to see shit like this. Live with them in your heart and make sure their children know they're loved.
UnableQueso
As an FO myself; mad respect.
VeinyFleshtTrumpet
They better have given him a star for that. At least. I'm sorry OP.
MakeMeACakeOrGrillMeASteak
I hope he and his wife have their own star now, they seem like they were really good people...
HammondYouIdiot
@OP Curious if you knew if they were wearing riding gear. I ride myself and I see so many people wearing short, a tee-shirt, and no helmet.
PizzaPringler
I don't know, sorry.
HammondYouIdiot
I know it doesn't guarantee your safety, but it greatly improves your chances. I really am sorry for you lose.
KatrinaKayMiller
I'm so sorry for your loss, OP. Rest in peace, Chris and Liz.
PizzaPringler
Luz.
KatrinaKayMiller
Autocorrect. My bad.
MrSheesh
Uh not really right to downvote the OP where they're just correcting her name, which was Luz, not Lil, pay a lil attention fellow maniacs :P
DarkerLink
I thought he meant lulz until seeing this and rereading the post.
esdrujula
Upvoted him out of the negative :)
RomanGod17
Who's the midget in your platoon?
PizzaPringler
Campos.
PizzaPringler
He saved my life on Donga Spur once.
RomanGod17
I know where that is. Was based out of Konduz in northern province back in 2010. EOD. Saw some shit. Sorry about friend.
ProfessorSteven
That's sad. Once we had a child, my wife and I stopped riding together so we wouldn't leave orphans.
Muchbeefsodinner
That's what my wife and i will do (i'm building her a bike so we can both ride)
acornforscale
I was about to buy one but found out my wife was pregnant, I'm definitely doing the same. I can't imagine leaving my son without a father.
shallweplayagame
Especially at 3am???
Favri
Sounds like a smart thing to do
insongwhang
I haven't said that aloud to my wife, but that's the reason she hasn't been okän my bike lately.
imgonnagotakearick
Did you lose someone too? I'm so sorry...
KZordTheBestZord
My dad stopped when they had kids. Started up again now that we're all adults. the road called him, I too have a bike, I get it tho.
ILIKETurtlesAndTrains

LadyWidebottom
My dad did the same

DarkerLink
I have an active kickstarter to work and be with my spouse but needs $50k to do it.

There are actually a few organizations who fund kids college who have lost a veteran parent I believe, also.

Ignore the poor English, I'm tired.
bushybeardthebold
Indeed. Although, deaths that occur outside the line of duty are not always covered, depending on the circumstances.
