I'm so very sorry that that was the report that had to come back....Please give your wife and your family including Donald's family our sincere sympathy. I read on the Memorial thread you posted that the bike riders who were looking for him were like "knights of the road"....what an apt description. RIP, Donald Masters.

I am just so sorry to hear this news as I was so hoping and praying he would be found alive, even in the event of an accident. My sincerest condolences to you, your wife and all of his family. Oh what a tragedy to endure and may God give you all the strength to cope with the loss of your loved one and may he rest eternally in peace.

Ah, Smithee, I am so sorry. You did such a magnificent job organizing so many people from across the country. The response from the biker community is just humbling and must touch your heart to know that so many people who didn't know you or Don cared enough to stop what they were doing and pitch in and help. My sincere condolences.

While it's a bad outcome at least he has been found. I hope you, your wife and the rest of the family can find some peace and closure now. Rest in peace Donald.

I can't think of a worse thing for family than to have a loved one missing. Losing your life doing something you love is small consolation, but if I were to go tomorrow, that is how I would want it to be. Skiing down a nice run, swimming in the ocean, cruising along on a beautiful road feeling free and absolved of all responsibility. Riding the waves in a boat or hiking a beautiful trail. I just have this feeling that Donald live life to the very fullest, and pushed the limits too. I like that......pushing limits. How else would we know what it's like to feel that rush of adrenalin or the ecstasy of endorphins that make us feel invincible. Or knowing we can go beyond our comfort level but never doing so and living with the what ifs all of our life. I've almost always been cautious, but once in awhile I find myself testing the limits, and the feeling and pride and glory of that is personal and great. I was so sorry to read of such a sad ending to the mystery of what happened to Donald. Perhaps a deer jumped out in front of him? Maybe he was going too fast and missed the curve? We will never know, but it is surely a relief to finally have found him. We wanted to let you know that we send our deepest condolences to you and your wife and the entire family. M
