Retired Man Was Working As A Favor
WHITLEY, Ky. -- Investigators are trying to determine what caused the tailgate of a dump truck to give way, burying a Kentucky man under hot asphalt and killing him.
The accident happened in Whitley on Monday, Louisville, Ky., television station WLKY reported.
McCreary County Pastor Jimmy Tucker was killed.
Tucker recently retired from a construction company, but was working one more week as a favor, WLKY reported.
He was looking at the back of another truck that had broken down when the gate opened, causing up to 10 tons of asphalt to fall on him. Investigators said Tucker died instantly.
Another worker was taken by helicopter to a Tennessee hospital for burn treatment.

Only God knows why 'only the good die young.'
Prayers up for the family.
Tragic and not a place for witty remarks.

People often deal with tragedy by making jokes.
I expect my funeral to be a laugh-riot.
On so many levels.

Man! What a horrible way to go.

"Investigators said Tucker died instantly"
Not to sound like Clinton, but I think that depends on the meaning of the word "instantly". Let's say the load takes at least a few seconds to engulf you....
That's got to be one of the worst possible ways to go.

RIP Pastor Tucker.
God comfort his family.

Laz, you're more fun alive than dead! However, by Grace and not our own good works, we can all graduate to Heaven, where there is no pain or grief or death.

Some just don't know they are buying a load of bad karma.
Or don't care.
