Just got the news yesterday that my uncle was found dead in his car in Baton Rouge. He’s battled addiction for a number of years now, but has been great within the last couple of years. I just spoke with him a few days ago about him buying a house on my street and how awesome it’d be to take our kids fishing together. He was only 18 months older than me, so we grew up as basically brothers.
Apparently he and his gf got into a fight and he drove out to BR for a fix and OD’d. He lives only a few minutes away. Wish he’d have just reached out and came over to blow off steam.
I’m about to leave for his service and it hasn’t fully sank in yet that this is goodbye... I posted this to his FB wall when it hit me that he’s really gone:
