This is the third death that I’ve become aware of in less than two weeks.
Early Friday morning, a friend DM’d me about Jim’s passing. I was in complete shock. I almost dropped my phone, I know my mouth was ajar as I read the messages. I mean I haven’t spoken with him or seen him in years…but still.
We bonded when his dad died. It was something that we could relate to because we were fatherless and trying to navigate taking care of our mothers while attempting to live our own lives.
We slowly over time lost touch with each other. We didn’t have a falling out, it’s just that we got busy with life and work and we were in different phases in our lives.
There aren’t many details surrounding how he became unalived. I hope he wasn’t alone when he died. His sister wrote on the GoFundMe post that he would be buried with his parents. That makes me incredibly sad.
Le sigh.
