This is some of his story.
He spent his life supporting people in the mental health system so they could work towards having a more fulfilling life.
He saved my life several times.
He was on the front lines fighting with those who have PTSD including the survivors of Katrina during his first year as an LCSW.
He had kidney and liver failure due to blood clots in his kidneys.
Facing the prospect of having his life unexpectedly being cut short due to the genetic hand he was dealt was overwhelming yet he remained optimistic.
He a survived cancer, and had dialysis treatments.
We were best friends since we met almost 25 years ago.
His spouse is especially distraught.
Any encouragement and support you provided was greatly appreciated.
