Default I need to ask a big favor.

One of my best friends is a retired motorcycle traffic cop. 20+ years with the city and more than 10 with the county. During those years he saw lots of bad things but also helped lots of people. I remember he once chased a bank robber onto a construction site, threw down his old Harley and tackled the guy.
He's a car lover who is well known locally and very well liked and respected by those who know him. A big hearted kind of guy who would find a way to be there to help when no one else can. We do car stuff together and he loves to come by my shop and hang out. 60 years old and tough as nails, called The Terminator by some.
After taking law enforcement retirement he found a job he loves, hauling equipment for a construction company. A few days ago he passed by my shop in a truck, blowing an air horn. I heard it but didn't see him, but one of my guys did.
A few hours later he was badly injured while driving. He hit a piece of farm equipment on the highway being hauled by a tractor. A section of it came through the windshield, impaling him.
The favor?
Please say a prayer for my friend Kelvin Wilson.
Thank you.

Default Update:

Following some serious internal organ re-attachment surgeries, my buddy has been released to go home for recuperation. Hard to believe he has come so far in one week. We talked for a while today. He has a very long road ahead of him, but his attitude is good. I let him know that I had others praying for him and he was very grateful.
Thanks everyone.
