I dont know much of the details, but I believe that his brother Jesse, who i’ve known since 6th grade (17yrs) found him under the car.
Just posting to find more details, and to let ya’ll know, Safty 1st.
Zeb and his GF had a little boy about 9 months ago, and he has a daughter (9yrs old??)
Ive seen too many ppl working on cars with out jack stands, without securing, and stabilizing the vehicle before crawling under, shit happens so fast.
No matter what your going under for, no matter how quick and easy it will be, spend a minute and make sure shes steady on the jack, AND stands.
Zeb, was very familiar with cars, and was always working, and wrenching on something, I think this was more routine maintenance than anything on this car, which as far as i know was not even his own
He was very passionate about building s-10 Blazers, and actually spent many hours at the shop with me working on something or another, whether it was his cars or mine own, or just helping me keep up the shop.
He was always a great helping hand.
Zeb will be missed…
