Sorry to hear that, a friend of mine, well more like an acquaintance passed away in his sleep a few years back. Dude was 21 at the time, healthy, didnt smoke or nothing. The news was shocking, its tough being at those funerals, and seeing close fam and friends losing someone so young. The only thing worst was being at a funeral of a murder victim. I can still hear that mother's cries when I think back. I still remember her screaming "where you taking my son? leave him alone, let him sleep, dont take him away, he's just sleeping, why are you taking him away?"
... and to top it all off one of closest friends dad just passed away, got a funeral to attend in the morning.
But the way I look at it is death is inevitable, its the only thing guaranteed in life. And its proven time and time again that it comes to all rich or poor, young or old. But for some fucked up reason we all think that it wont hit close to home till it does.
We as human beings need to look at every day as our last, and not just enjoy shit to the fullest, but also let go of all the petty grudges we hold against others especially our families. Fuck it, who knows who's going to be around tomorrow, and if you'll ever have a chance to apologize or forgive. Take every death as a lesson and learn. We're all mortal, and we all have a time when we leave this earth, and we take none of this materialistic bullshit with us.
Each one Teach one, remember death is just around the corner at all times, and show and prove there's a better way and watch humanity grow.
Peace
