It’s hard to explain how much I miss Jack everyday, he was my best friend. He had a true heart and really loved helping people out. Me and him bonded over technical stuff and mostly fabrication and problem solving. Jack was ALWAYS up to investing time in figuring new ways of making things work. And if he’d see your interest in the task, he’d roll up his sleeve and be there with you forever until the end. Jack was fast and sometimes faster than others around him. His hands and sometimes his mind too. When he could, he would not hesitate speaking his heart and rarely held back. I loved and loathed that, but that was him and you could not haggle between both sides. I knew him very well and very often Jack wasn’t about showing his way of doing things but trying to find better ways. My friendship with Jack was probably the most honest I’ve had with someone and we never feared talking about anything. We’d talk about mental health every so often and what’s it like to be mates. There are things that men don’t talk about, we’d laugh about it and then we’d talk about that too. We’d talk about anxiety and death too sometimes. Despite never wanting this to happen, in a couple of occasions we both told each other that dying riding was the best way to get out of this world. Doing what we loved the most and with the wind in our faces. Although I wish so much Jack was here with me and we’d see each other grow and progress. I’m glad Jack was in my life. I loved him and told him so. The last text message I received from Jack was “I’m still here if you need me”. And I know that he still is, even if he’s not here any longer. Jack will always be in my heart as one of the best and most solid friends I’ll ever have. I love you Jack Crossley. Giulio
