My good friend and coworker was killed yesterday on a motorcycle. A driver ran a stop sign and he's passed on. Will was an amazing person and the most intelligent guy I know. At 25 he single handedly, completely re-engineered an MPLS network at a major Silicon Valley University. He knew more about any piece of Cisco equipment than even their own sales people and most of their engineers. Not only that but he was building cars up and entering drift events. When I first saw a Mr. Steele video, it was he who encouraged me to start flying 9 months ago. We were both building our skills, I was planning to shoot an epic drift video. I will really miss him. Gojira was one of his favorite bands. This video is as good of a tribute as I can do right now. Will McDermott was one of those people that can be described as being "full of life". If the term rock star is applied to Network Engineer, he was one. My whole team looked up to him. and he was the youngest guy on the team. If you commute on a motorcycle in a city like San Jose or anywhere, please consider driving a car or an alternate method. Thank you
