not sure how many of you ProgPower attendees know or remember him, but one of the security guys has just passed away.

From the PP site:

We have just learned that our dear friend "Terminator" passed away last night after a long struggle with cancer. Term was the front door face of ProgPower USA for over a decade and truly added to the persona of the festival. He always had a smile on his face and the personality of a teddybear. He truly was a member of the crew family and we are all heartbroken this morning. I hope he knew that he truly made a difference in our lives. Rest easy, my brother. You are truly missed.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his twin brother, "Renegade" who many of you have also met over the years working along side Term.

here are some pics of him:

With his twin brother, also a security guy at PPUSA:

And finally with our beloved Adrian:

sad, neither is with us anymore

Eric was always super nice to Donna and me, plus the girls. Always remembered us, talked football with me each year. He will be truly missed.

Also now posted on the PPUSA board:

I just wanted to update everyone on our recently deceased dear friend, Eric Parker (i.e. Terminator). His funeral will be held this Saturday in Alabama. We sent a floral arrangement to the funeral home and signed it from the ProgPower Family.

Many of you may not know, but Term was a single dad raising a very young daughter with his only true support being his brother, Derrick Parker (i.e. Renegade). Term’s extended bout with colon cancer left him in financial ruin to the point of the bank recently foreclosing on his home after his death. Needless to say, Ren has endured a hell of a lot trying to hold things together.

Term had relatives in Miami that have agreed to take his daughter in. However, it's very hard on Ren to get her to Miami from a financial standpoint. We can make a difference. I am asking the progpower family to make a small donation to a fund that will get her to Miami. Even a gift of just $5 would add up and greatly assist with Ren’s burden.

Center Stage is running the paypal account and will be sending anything they receive to Ren on Saturday. If you would like to make a donation, please send it to:

michelle@rivalentertainment.com

Please mark it as a "gift" so paypal does not take their normal portion from the transaction. Please be aware that Ren will not see any private messages that you include with the transaction.

Thanks all,

Glenn & Jen

Please think about it folks.
