Since the wreck, Hoyt has had numerous operations on his leg to save it and things were beginning to improve, but he was still unable to walk.

Sadly, Hoyt Penland was found not breathing on Thursday, July 23, 2009, at the young age of 25, and he was going to turn 26 in just a few weeks on August 3rd.
