I had gone over to his house after work on Wednesday for the usual beer and some tunes, and maybe a ride or two on one of the toys, and the Shed was all locked up. It was a beautiful day outside too, so this was strange. I thought he must have taken his Dad for a Doc appt, which is usually the case, but the front door was open with the outer screen door closed so I did kind of scratch my head about that. I got back in my vehicle and gave him a call, since a lot of times I'll catch him in the ****ter when I get there around 3:30, but I got no answer. A few thoughts ran through my head since he had been looking for a new job, I thought maybe he found one, or that he was at a neighbors house, or something along those lines. I went home and waited for a call back. None came. A few hours later I got the call from my roommate that he had been found leaning up against his bed clutching his chest. His parents found him, and apparently he had been gone for quite a few hours. I know his schedule, so he probably got his two kids off to school, then was about to open up the Shed and start the day, but never made it that far (which explains the open front door). I started thinking maybe if I had known he was in his room in that condition would I have been able to do something, but that's just wishful thinking. He was long gone before I even showed up. It was just his time to go. The outpouring of prayers, condolences, and well wishes is astounding. People from the neighborhood that I haven't seen or heard from in 20+ years are coming out from all over the US, and my Facebook feed is a wall of Leon memories that I can't even look at right now. For such a little guy (he was 5'3") he left a huge gap in mine, and a lot of other peoples lives.

So sorry to hear that Plank. Stay strong buddy. If you need it, there are a lot of people to talk to here, including myself. Condolences to not only you, but your family and the family of your buddy Leon.

Signs of casual alcoholism: you just got a call from work telling you that you were supposed to be in at 4 pm, and it is now 5:30, but you can't come in ATM since you need to turn in two assignments for school by 11 pm, but luckily your manager is understanding and just tells you to get there whenever you can, and the first thing you do after you hang up the phone and start preliminary work on your first assignment is to crack open a beer.
Let's do this ****.
