A Death In The Family

Tuesday August 26, 2008 @ 10:20 PM EDT

My Manager/Producer Mr. Jon Holtz’s mother Mrs. Susan S. Broyles, 60, of the Asheville Highway, passed away 4:15pm EST, Aug. 25, 2008 at Life Care Center of Greeneville. She was surrounded by loved ones at the time she was called home by the Lord.

A memorial service will be held to celebrate her life at Mount Hebron United Methodist Churchh of Greeneville, TN Aug. 30, 2008 at 7:30pm EST. May piece be with her and her beloved family.

Note About Jon:
In spite of being under extreme emotional stress and sleep-deprivation, Jon worked his tail off for me Wednesday and Thursday during the World of Outlaws Late Model Series ‘Scorcher’ that was held on Aug. 20-21, 2008 at Volunteer Speedway. We also spent some good quality time with our good friend Mr. Richard Childress and his grandson Ty Dillon who won the “COURTESY CHEVROLET” CRATE LATE MODEL (25-lap) race Thursday night at “The Gap”.

In addition, Jon displayed an impeccable work performance both days on the following Friday and Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway which landed me a personal meeting with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and another trip to Victory Lane with Carl Edwards and Mr. Jack Roush to help them celebrate their second win of the Sharpie 500 with the number 99 Office Depot ROUSH-FENWAY Racing team.

As part of Jon’s Saturday workload and effort, I performed some Southern Stand-Up Comedy for the fans with Clint Bowyer at the Jack Daniels’ “hospitality tent” before the start of the Sharpie 500 as part of a Special Promotion w/ RCR, Jack Daniels, and WarHead Records. The crowd turnout was amazing.

Special Thanks To Jon Holtz:
You’re there when I need you most, you bust your hump to keep me in the public-eye, you get little credit for your hard work, and at the end of the day, you make no bones about it.

I’m truly sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this dark time.

God bless,

Lee Roy Mercer
