We are very sorry to report that the motocross community lost Christpher “Jantz” Grodzicki today. Jantz had a vicious crash at the Mini O’s a last week and sustained many broken bones (including a broken neck) along with severe head trauma. Over the last few days, Jantz had been clinging to life on life support, but his fight ended for him and his family today. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jantz’ family and friends today. They are not easy to read, but below are a couple of recent posts from Jantz’ mother, Lisa Grodzicki, taken from the “Pray for Jantz Grodzicki 96” Facebook page.

Lisa Grodzicki :

Jantz passed away peacefully today, November 26, 2012 at 12:56pm. He was surrounded by his immediate family and friends. Jantz will be forever remembered as a fierce Motocross competitor and for the warmth, kindness and amazing sense of humor he shared with everyone. Jantz is survived by his loving parents Chris and Lisa and 12 year old sister Jenna Reece.

Lisa Grodzicki:

From Lisa: “It is with the heaviest of hearts and deepest sorrow that we share with you the loss of our son Christopher “JANTZ” Grodzicki #96.”
-Lisa Adams Grodzicki
You will be missed deeply 96.

A tribute to Jantz:
