A dear family friend passed away in the wee hours of the morning after complications from a much needed kidney transplant. He was 33 with a beautiful wife and 4 young kids. They will only know their father through our memories of him. He was one the kindest, goofiest loving men I've ever met. From his passion for basketball, love of all things Cowboys and we'd always see each other at the local carribean spot at lunch.
He was the first boy I ever loved...we remained friends some 17 years later. He became a part of my family and my heart is truly broken right now. Even though we went through some rough times in our friendship, I will never forget the good times we had.
Please read their story: http://www.gofundme.com/igr338 ...if in that moment you feel like you want to contribute, please do. But if nothing else, please pray for his wife and their children so that they can get through this.
Thanks y'all

4. "the fund was initially" In response to Reply # 3
set up to help with expenses until he could returm to work as he was the sole provider for the house. Now I imagine the funds will be used for the funeral expenses and whatever else.
I haven't had the chance to see the family yet so I'm not sure.

if i had it i'd donate to this and to a lot of other things, but unfortunately right now i don't. all i can offer is my condolences, and they are sincere.
it's been a rough few hours at work trying not to cry every five minutes. I want to thank you for the anchor and for your condolences...it really means alot.
