    Wow that was a really cool video and a true treasure to his family. They can go back and see just how he left that garage and remember the things that made his life what it was. A fitting tribute.

    For real. He looked over like he was searching for him. That and the part wear I assume his mother is putting the sticker on window.

    His dogs have been lost without him. We are looking for someone who would like to care for them. They need a "forever" home and need to stay together. Message me if interested. They are great dogs and i'd take em in a heartbeat.. but I'm afraid it would be too hard for me.

    Thats Courtneys mom near the end. Strongest woman I know.

    great filming,sad story!glad i met him
     
  8. OGNC helped me out a ton when I was bagging my old '79 Chevy. I had no idea that he was Courtney.

    I remember reading the post about his passing and thinking how sad it was that he was taken at such a young age. After seeing this, it hits a little closer to home.

    Very moving video tribute in his honor. My condolences to all his family and friends.

    Vaya con Dios Courtney.............E

    Moving film. Mom's life will never be the same. No parent should bury their child. I gotta' ask, what is OGNC?

    It was definitely a tough one to watch during the services. Still gets me everytime I see it. I will be there on the 4th with my Shoebox. Just wish I could have shown him the Shoebox before he left us. He would have really dug it.
     
  14. Very moving tribute. I miss seeing him wandering in to my shop wondering what trick he might play.

    Degenerate - NC stood for Negative Camber, his truck club, and OG was because he was the Original NC

    I loved his old tag line "If you have to ask is this low enough, then the answer is No"

    A tear in my eyes... The dog got me too. I didn't know him very well, but what a cool guy, such a sad loss.

    I met Courtney once & the dude said one word to me.. I recognised him right away, he had no clue who I was ..after looking my mini truck over well he just strolled by, said "tight!" & walked down the row. Coming from SoCal mini truck royalty it made my day. Thanks Courtney, R.I.P.
