Last Wednesday, my son's best friend from high school died. The immediate cause of death was a drug overdose, and there is speculation that it may have been on purpose. Dan struggled with drug abuse for years, dating back to high school. This was a kid from the suburbs, his brother went to Harvard on a football scholarship. Dan could have done the same, but he took a different path.
When my son had his accident, Dan was there. He drove to Indy twice to see him, and he was only 17. Visited him daily when he transfered home. Picked him up when he fell out of his chair and carried him into friend's houses.
Dan, Rest in Peace. Thank you for being there for Kevin and we pray you've found peace now.
