Thursday evening I was playing around on FB when I came across a post from a local friend about a family friend. He didn't come straight out and say he had died, but said he would be missed and loved always which gave me the thought he had. The person in question had sadly been in ICU for the past 3 weeks or so due to an infection he got while having open heart surgery. He is a friend of my dad's and a huge part of my life in our beach side community. I played with his daughter at their house growing up, attended many a birthday celebration and BBQ with them over the course of the last 30 years.
He was a generous spirit filled with laughter and love for those around him.He enjoyed fishing, surfing and Mexico. I hurt for all that his family has gone through in the past months of his being ill & hospitalized and wish them healing for the times to come.
To his whole family I extend all the love and support I can.
I did get confirmation the next day that he had indeed lost his battle. I will attend whatever services there are for him to celebrate the man he was and the live he led as he touched many in his 50+ years of life.
