Oh, my God - this is so horrible. What a tremendous person, and then his whole family? Oh, Lord.

I’m sure there’s 1,000,000 other posts out there but it cannot be stated how vital Greg Biffle was in organizing the western NC Helene relief effort which was among one of the largest civilian humanitarian missions ever on American soil.

...The world didn’t just lose a NASCAR great today. The world lost a great man and great family that selflessly stepped up and used their resources for the greater good to help total strangers during their greatest time of need.
Rest in peace.

I watched almost all of his videos when flying in and out of the devastated region., The man was tireless.

I'm at a complete loss for words.

Greg Biffle was one of the most heroic volunteers during the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

For 2 weeks straight, Greg flew his own personal helicopter every single day to rescue victims who were stranded in the mountains.

May the good Lord hold him, his precious family, and everyone who loved him close in the palm of His hand. His memory will always be a blessing and cherished by so many.
