MISFORTUNE HITS THE VILLOPOTO FAMILY

Our condolences to the Villopoto family for losing a great man. 

Ryan Villopoto posted on his Instagram account today about the tragic loss of his father, Dan. Here is what Ryan said: This world we live in is a giving place but at the same time it can be cruel. I spent the last six weeks with my dad day in and day out working and training for the upcoming races overseas. For the first time in a long time it was real again, like when I as young. But yesterday god called him home with a massive heart attack. Words can not express the depth of my emotion. He was a great man and an even better father. He’s with the lord now so I know he’s in great hands. 🙏. Love you Dad! You will be sorely missed by all. #youmadewhoiamtoday
