Bruce Rossmeyer In the WInd

The Daytona Beach News-Journal and RoadracingWorld.com reported that Rossmeyer was killed in a motorcycle accident in Wyoming while riding from the Harley-Davidson dealer meetings in Colorado to the 69th Annual Sturgis Rally in Sturgis, S.D. 

Sources said a recreational vehicle strayed into the lane in which Rossmeyer was riding and the two either collided or Rossmeyer went off the road trying to avoid the RV.

Destination Daytona said it would comment when appropriate. 

Rossmeyer once told WESH 2 News that he built Destination Daytona -- the largest Harley-Davidson dealer anywhere -- as the Disney World for bikers, with shops, condos, restaurants and a hotel. 

He always had a courtside seat at Orlando Magic games at the end of the visitor's bench, where he said he could keep an eye on the competition

.

Orlando Magic Chief Operating Officer Alex Martins issued a statement on Rossmeyer's passing.

"Bruce Rossmeyer was a great fan, friend and sponsor of the Orlando Magic for the majority of our history," Martins said. "Our entire Magic family is shocked and terribly saddened. Our thoughts are with Bruce and his family. We will miss one of our greatest fans.‪"

PGR Mission Sunday-SPC Justin D. Coleman from Spring Hill, FL-KIA

Tallahassee staging info. at bottom:

Friday July 24th SPC Justin D. Coleman from Spring Hill, FL and members of his unit were conducting security checks in a remote, mountainous region of Afghanistan where military officials believed the Taliban held captive Army PFC Bowe R. Bergdahl. PFC Bergdahl disappeared from his outpost a month ago and appeared in a Taliban hostage video last week.

Our soldiers were ambushed. Justin and three other members of his unit were killed in the attack. A week before Coleman's death, he traded Internet messages with his father telling him he was leaving for a mission. The e-mail ended, "Alrighty dad, talk to you when I get back."

One of Justin's concerns was that if anything ever happened to him that he would be forgotten. His family wants to be sure that their Hero lives on in the hearts of many. They have invited the Patriot Guard Riders to stand in silent respect for their Hero at services for him Sunday and Monday in Spring Hill, Florida.
