The man that passed away that day was someone I knew for approximately 15 years. He was fearless, wild, open-minded to trying just about everything at least once in life, however hew was also kind, gentle and very charming and charismatic. I believe he was one of my teacher's on this earth. He taught me to be more open and less judgmental, to question societal boundaries and to learn when to let go. He was someone who refused to be confined by anything. If anyone can ever try to answer the question "why" this happened, the only thing I can say is that often I felt like his spirit was too strong for this world. He was unique, loved by many, special and will always be greatly missed.

It had nothing to do with faulty windows, it was a suicide. <br />I will write an obituary for the curious, sans his name.<br />He led the kind of life that movies get made about. He sought adventure, lived on the edge, and dated only the most beautiful women. He was an incredible speaker, and even hosted events that addressed topics that drew the interest from teenagers to tenured PhDs. His charisma was only exceeded by his intellect. He collected guns, knives, books and coins. He didn't own a TV, but loved watching It's Always Sunny In Philly on his iPad. He did not have a wife or children, but loved his sister & brother and law with a fury. He visited them and their children quite often. For those who ask "why", there is not one reason. He would not want anyone wasting a single second mourning him, not for lack of confidence, but because he died the same way he lived his life, as an epic story. <br />"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217278762063033383.post-63932969664989583352013-10-04T14:10:40.444-07:002013-10-04T14:10:40.444-07:00Can you write me if you have info and if you saw w...Can you write me if you have info and if you saw what happened or knew him.

I'm not sure if the family would want me to publish anymore information online, however if you contact me I will be happy to do so. Anyone with info who was there can you please contact me or knew him. I would love to speak with you.
