Very Sad. I believe he had also recently had some kind of cancer that he beat. A truely great driver, and very humble personality. He will be missed.

Very sad stuff. He was a great rally driver, great guy and I am sure a great father-husband.

This sucks!
I just saw him compete in the X games.
How ironic that he survives all those crazy rally crashes, but then dies in a helicopter crash.
