My Search for a Boyhood Friend Led to a Dark Discovery
- sethammons 8y agoIt is odd finding out about tragedy, especially long after. I was recounting funny stories of high school to friends at work, and jokingly said that the center figure of the story was probably dead by now due to his antics. Did a quick search, and was surprised to find he had indeed died, but it was due to some waisting disease after having started a family. I've heard of probably a dozen or so folks I grew up and/or went through school with that have died. Waisting disease, brain tumor, a heart condition, cancer, car accidents, suicides, and murder. A few others apparently in prison, one for killing someone after a bar fight. Most of these I heard of just a few years outside of graduation, and some others I've heard through the grapevine these twenty years later.
