He was a great friend, who will be missed. He got Covid back in 2021, and it took a huge toll on his body. The last two years he had been living in a nursing home, and he died last week, only week away from his 50th birthday. I will miss him and all the laughs we shared. We both had these videos made at the mall, when Intel was promoting their new chip. We each got a jump drive with this video on it. Thankfully I uploaded the vids, because though still have my drive, it no longer works. He always enjoy seeing this on YouTube and enjoy telling me how many views it had received. Well, I hope it can double for him.

Thank you, I'm hanging in there, we all knew it was coming, but still was not prepared. He wss a fighter. Even with it all he had 9 heart attacks and had died 10 times, but they always brought him back. But this last time they had gotten to him to late and he came back brain dead. I'm so broken over his death, but at the same time kinda glad. His quality of life had been so bad the last six months all he talked about is how he wanted to die. Being a nursing home at his age, having to relay on nurses to wipe his butt and not able to be active and mobile. He hated it, he used be so energetic and outgoing.

Saturday I am going record a podcast chronicling his life, from how we meet forward. I have so many great stories with him. He was a crazy guy, that pulled some outrageous stunts. If he was here he loved to be part of telling these stories. So I will record it this weekend and when its ready will post it to YouTube.
