For those of you friends with me on Facebook you already have an idea, but those who are not, a very dear friend of mine passed away Monday. He was on his way to Indiana with his mother when they were involved in some sort of accident. The information I have been able to gather is that it involved a deer, not another car, and that my friend was not wearing his seatbelt. He always thought that if it was his time, a seat belt wouldn't make much of a difference anyway. His mother is currently in a hospital in WV with a broken femur, and I'm sure a broken heart. He was her only child, and his father passed away several years ago before they moved to SC.
He lived with his mother and his grandmother, and maybe also with his girlfriend. Keep them all in your thoughts as everyone who knew him gets through the coming days, weeks, months, and eventually... years. Please send his mother good vibes both for her broken body, and her broken heart.
Thanks, guys.
