That is a reality check. 47 years old dropped dead. As far as I know no one else in my class is deceased. What a good kid too--helped me get my first job at 16. Thats some surreal stuff. Sad day in life
RIP Crushalot😞

Your lucky! My class had about 350 in our graduating class and I can list about 10-15 off the top of my head over the last 20 years. Im 55 years old.
Lost two this year alone that were good friends. Sad stuff.
Kiss your daughter tonite and give her a hug and let her now daddy is good.
I had my heart operation at age 48. I am lucky.
I know you have had some health problems. Your still here, your lucky.

Not go be a mench and vote again, your allowed to change your vote. Life is precious.

I went to a funeral the week of Christmas two years ago..This was for a college buddy and we won a University wide three on three basketball tournament at a school we attended..The name of our team at the time was "Quiet Storm"..Dude died of cancer..His wife and I were good friends as well in college..While attending that funeral, I found out another funeral was happening on the same day for the twin brother of one of my best friends in HS..I learned to ride a motorcycle on his dirt bike many moons ago..I ended up going to two funerals on the same day...We are at that age..Smell the roses and enjoy your time with your family...

Sorry to hear, Briggs.

Had that happen when I was 24 - one of my best friends growing up on my street was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver (drunk driver was in the other car, also died). I had lost touch in high school, but used to see him every day in elementary school and junior high. It is surreal.

Sorry. Always sad to lose someone and when it's a peer it makes you think.

Sorry for your loss. Death gives all of us a wake up call to enjoy every day. So let's enjoy a Knick win tomorrow.

Sorry for your loss, BRIGGS. I have lost two this year. We also had a boy on my kids' XC team die unexpectedly.

Life is hard at times.
