The Resume

    (August 9, 1971-December 6, 2006)
    Lived with wife and two daughters in San Francisco
    Car containing him and his family became stuck in snow on an isolated road in the Oregon mountains (November 25, 2006)
    Survived seven days in car with family before setting off on foot to get help (December 2, 2006)
    Family found in car by helicopter rescue (December 4, 2006)
    Found dead of exposure due to hypothermia two days later after walking 16 miles (December 6, 2006)

Why he might be annoying:

    His favorite color was 'silicon.'
    In his CNET company profile he indicated 'My Windows PC just died.'
    He missed his exit before turning onto a sparsely traveled road usually closed during winter.
    Chances are if he remained in the car he would have been rescued with his family.
    Though he walked 16 miles he essentially made a big U-turn - his body was found less than one mile from where the car became stuck.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Heading home from Portland after a happy family outing he was thrust into a fight for survival.
    The road he took should have been gated shut but vandals broke the lock and opened the gate.
    He desperately left clues while walking so a search party could find him.
    Rescuers state he did nothing wrong and praised him for his bravery while attempting to help his family in a 'superhuman effort.'
    An autopsy revealed he was dead less than a day before he was found.
    His favorite quote was William O'Neal's, 'Tacky, less-than-perfect shit is often times OK.'
