Friends of Snoop_Dogg

[HookEm]

A 35-year-old Thorndale man and his 6-year-old daughter died from their injuries Thursday evening after the car they were traveling in collided head-on with another vehicle on Texas 79 two miles east of Thrall in Williamson County, according to a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Joe Edward Mojica was traveling east on Texas 79 with his daughter, Jeanie Mojica, when his 1993 Honda Accord moved into the westbound lane, officials said. The Accord struck a 2002 GMC Sierra, killing Mojica instantly at around 5 p.m.

The 6-year-old girl, Jeanie Mojica, was taken to Brackenridge Hospital where she later died from her injuries.

The driver of the GMC, Garland Eugene Miller, 49, of Elgin, was taken to Brackenridge Hospital with minor injuries, according to a DPS dispatcher. The passenger in his car, Richard Perkins, also had minor injuries.

As of 6:30 a.m., Miller was listed in stable condition at Brackenridge. Perkins’ condition was not immediately known Friday morning. Everyone involved in the accident was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision, the dispatcher said.

Was just thinking about him the other day. Many prayers for the family

 

[tropheus]

what a devestation. I didn't know him that well, but we had a few PM exchanges about life and things of that nature. He wanted to have a beer, but we never did. He had some rough things come his way and I thought about him on that snake thread the other day wondering what he was up to (I knew he was around, but just not around here). God this is bad. Just bad.

 

[S197HQQKEM]

RIP

 

[washparkhorn]

Incredibly sad.

RIP Joe and Jeanie.

 

[Brisketexan]

There are times that I really, really, ******* hate this universe.

It sort of makes you wonder what the ******* point is.

I don't even know how to begin thinking of or praying for his family.

It just makes me absolutely sick.

 

[hullabelew]

I am really sick about this. Physically. Joe's health had turned around and after moving to Thorndale, he seemed to be much happer. He had recently been appointed to the board of one of his groups that deals with snakes and had been writing for a local newspaper. Below is an e-mail I got from him last August where he was really upbeat after finally getting some good news about his health.

Joe went by several different user names including Jester, jemojica and most recently Snoop Dogg. Elana was also known at one time on here as Mother Russia.

God bless his family. I need a drink.

I never know what to type on these threads, and hate even having to do it. The pictures of his daughter are beautiful, what a perfect little girl. Unbelievable sadness.

 

[WhiteH2O Horn]

I'm too overwhelmed too even know what to say right now. Joe and I jammed a few times and always had a blast when we hung out. He was super cool to be around and LOVED Jeanie. He really was a great dad. My god, what that family has already gone through in the last couple of years alone, and now this. Tragic is an understatement.

R.I.P. JE & Jeanie

 

[TXSooner518]

truly crushing. didn't know Joe, just knew he was a nature lover, and had fought through a lot of BS, just to have this happen.

And as someone with a daughter on the way, looking at those pictures is truly heartrending. UGH what a stupid world.

 

[Feloin]

I always feel like I lost someone very close when a poster passes.

 

[mishatx]

I heard the name on TV and wondered if it was former poster jemojica. I didn't know that that was the same person as Snoop_Dogg.

 

[stabone]

sigh....just saw this. Car accidents scare the ever living **** out of me. Not exactly sure what to say. Life is not fair and for Snoop life was a constant battle.

RIP Bro.

 

[shotgun427]

Wow. This sucks. I have no words.

 

[accuratehorn]

Terribly sad news. I didn't know him well, but through HornFans I feel as if I have lost a friend. He often had interesting and witty things to post, of course being the resident herp expert, and sometimes crossed the line in posting-but I see he had gone through some very hard times with health and medication problems.
Prayers and condolences to the family in the wake of this senseless tragedy.

 

[buckhorn]

No words.

For whatever reason I, too, was thinking about him, wondering how his bout with cancer turned out, so I hunted around and discovered he was doing better. And now this.

Crushing.

I am going to blast some Killing Joke.

[LadyHornAustin]

Unspeakably horrible. Prayers to his family, they are undoubtedly going through hell. Please, some of y'all who are close to the family, let us know if/when there is some kind of memorial fund set up.

Tears and prayers

 

[TwoForFlinching]

I met Joe and his family a few times at parties and what not. I was always happy to arrive somewhere and see him. I'm heartbroken.

Another friend of mine happened to be driving on 79 last night, about four cars behind the pickup truck, and was at the scene of the accident for an hour or two. From what he told me, it sounds like the other motorists and the first responders did all they could to save Jeanie.

 

[Spankytoes]

Ptayers to his family. As a father, I can't bear to think of the loss of a child as well as your loved one.

 

[SA_Town_Horn]

God, this sucks. I never met Joe, but I am lucky enough to be friends with Longhorn Al and know how good of freinds they were.

Incredibly sad. Those pictures of that little girl just got me. She was adorable.

RIP Joe and Jeanie.

 

[veggieboy]

I never got to meet Joe in person, but I have exchange a number of e-mails and pms with him. He was even kind enough to lend a sympathetic and helpful ear when my SIL was going through a scare with cervical cancer.

I haven't emailed him in a while, though, and have wondered how he's doing from time to time. His blog hadn't been updated for a while last time I checked.

This is really getting to me. I wish that he and I could have had a couple of beers together. I wish that I had taken him up on his offer of tickets to see Ministry. I wish I could have met his family.

If anyone ever doubts that bad things happen to good people, just tell them Joe's story. They will never doubt again.

I pray that his family and friends can find some comfort. Losing a husband/father and a child at the same time is one of the worst things that could possibly happen to a family...

How the hell can things like this happen...?

 

[ThadFilms]

This is truly tough. With Joe, I can understand, compartmentalize, and maybe move on and be happy for the life he had. How many people tour the world with rock bands? How many people beat cancer? What a hell of life he had gone through. And you could say, I'm gone have a drink for my buddy Joe, it's what he would want.

But Jeanie? I'm truly devistated. I remember her wearing a Princess tee-shirt on a couple of ocassions, that's how I always think of her. The two rowdy boys and their sister, the princess. She was truly special.

I was lucky enough on two very special occasions to sit and kill an entire bottle of Jack with Joe, though we hung out on plenty of other days/evenings - those two nights on the patio at Longhornfan68 and Smurfette's old house, will all be special. Friends coming and going, the kids inside asleep or playing my gamecube... Joe and I sitting drinking Jack. I paid for it both times the next day. But it was worth it.

I'm just stung by Jeanie's death, though. It hurts.

Sadly the last time I saw Joe was when we carpooled to Victoria TX for another horhfans poster's funeral. It was odd seeing Joe in khakis and a button up shirt. Dressing up didn't suit him.

RIP Joe and Jeanie...

[Sii]

I cant believe this

so tragic

 

[uisge beatha]

I didn't realize Joe was Snoop_Dogg. I knew him back when he was jemohica. They'd originally found the HornFans tailgate by following me. They said they figured I'd know where it was since I was wearing a HornFans t-shirt. Enjoyed drinking a few beers with them at the tailgates but had lost track of them after I'd moved to Indiana for awhile. Sorry to hear such sad news.

 

[HornsN04]

I am in shock. My thoughts and prayers are with him, his little girl, his family and friends.

RIP.

 

[Third Coast]

I have a vague memory about a smartass reply that I made to one of his posts some time ago and I feel terrible about it.

Prayers to his family and close friends. When any information is available regarding a fund for the family it would be very much appreciated.

I'm so sorry.

 

[Longhorn_Fan68]

As I stated to Texanne this morning on the phone being part of the Hornfans community is a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because you get introduced to so many great people and you get to share in the lives of a hugely diverse subset of the world at large. But it's a curse when you get close to someone only to have them taken from you. This has happened to me twice now. I hope it's the last.

 

[hullabelew]

Please see the locked thread here.

If ever there was a chance for use to help, even just a little bit, it is here. JimmyJazz has been kind enough to offer his help in organizing this. Joe left behind two sons and a wife who have to be missing their dad and a sister. Given his health problems, I can't imagine Elana and the boys have any type of insurance to rely upon.

JimmyJazz hasn't responded in this thread yet, but hopefully he will soon. Personnally, I plan to redirect my drinking money for the next year towards helping the people that Joe left behind. I can't imagine being in Elana's spot with 2 young boys having to deal with the lose of a husband/father and a daughter/sister.
