Cruiserhead Doug W. passed away Monday - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

wayneraintree · 03-16-2005, 02:19 PM

With great sadness I am informing everyone that Douglas Weinberg passed away Monday suddenly and at a youthful age. Doug and I were extremely close, please keep his friends and family in your thoughts as this is a really tough section of the trail called life. He was working in archeology and on his cruiser in his last few weeks so I know he was dong what he loved, as we all do. Doug loved cruisers and this board. He was a TLCA member and a great member of the cruiser community. I really want to commemorate him with a thread, as he loved this board. Thanks.

Here is Doug last year on our trip back from Belize, resulted in an article in TT earlier this year..

Here's to ya Doug

It was a great article. Sorry for the loss to both you and the TLCA. What happened?

ranger · 03-16-2005, 05:33 PM

Yes I agree it was a very good article. He looks like too young of a man to pass away so early.

rockthedog · 03-16-2005, 06:35 PM

i didn't know him ,but a cruiserhead is a brutha

sorry for your loss.

wayneraintree · 03-16-2005, 07:37 PM

Doug had an allergic reaction to something while working in Southern California doing archological survey work. The details are vague at best.

texican · 03-16-2005, 08:28 PM

First off, RIP brother
Second WTF kind of allergic reaction kills you ???

Man, that's a shock, despite my also not having known Doug. I, too, very much enjoyed the TT article of your paired up adventures bringing back his Cruiser. The article has inspired me to visit Aztec & Mayan ruins by Cruiser, one day, so I imagine you have a treasure trove of memories from that trip alone, Wayne. So sorry to hear of Doug's passing.

i almost died from an alergic reaction. i got very sick when we were on a trip in a foreign country when i was about 12 years old. my mom took me to a doctor and he gave me a penecilin shot. turns out, i'm allergic to penecilin. not something i wanna go thru again. spent the better part of 6 weeks in the hospital and or at home recovering from that ordeal.

i'm so sorry for your loss wayne.

Not to sound too lighthearted, but that sounds like some Indiana Jones, bad juju shit!

John Smith · 03-17-2005, 06:38 AM

That was a great story in the trails and I am very sorry to hear this bad news.

Google "anaphylactic shock" for more info.

Basically your blood pressure drops to near zero. You are at risk if you have been "sensitized" to some type of antigen that you may not even be aware of. A good example is people that have been stung by a bee or wasp a single time. They may be at risk for anaphylaxis the next time they get stung.

71-Cruiser · 03-17-2005, 08:11 AM

Any loss in a comunity as small and dedicated as this one will be deeply felt.

Godspeed.

cruiserbrett · 03-17-2005, 09:54 AM

My condolences to his family. Terrible to hear the news. Best wishes to his family.

As for anaphylactic shock, carry an epinephrine shot.

Slowerthanu · 03-17-2005, 10:38 AM

I really enjoyed that article and feel terrible about the loss of what seemed like such an intelligent and interesting person.

RIP

Coolerman · 03-17-2005, 10:56 AM
