He and I go pretty far back. We were best friends from about 8th grade until high school when he got into serious trouble with drugs. We kept in touch but I chose not to hang around so much since my family has had a lot of issues with drug abuse in the past. His mom, who had been sick for years, couldn't walk, and everyone kind of "expected" her to pass away at anytime. However, in 10th grade his dad was diagnosed with cancer and died a few months later. Then his mom passed away within a year. Everyone assumed it was just too hard on her and she just kind of gave up. He inherited a lot of money but would up blowing it all on drugs (cocaine, pot, meth, etc). Last night our mutual friend called me and told me he had passed away at 1pm yesterday afternoon. They found large amounts of methodone in his body apparently. He was 23 years old. The viewing is tomorrow night and funeral is on Monday.
