alcoholism killed my brother

such a dreadful, insidious disease

Wishing peace and strength for your family

I hope that when this time passes you be able to heal your hearts and move on with him in your memories.

Please know, your nephew Bobby, you, and the whole circle of loved ones are in my prayers. I hold you all, in the healing light of peace and comfort.

It never stops to rattle me. Best wishes to your family.

it was a surprising number. A very surprising number of family, friends, acquaintances, co-workers.

And how many who were alcoholics who could have gone and somehow lived.

Too many. Too damned many.

I am glad for those to broke through and stopped drinking, a fair number. There should have been more.

sweet spirits (what ever they may be) to help you through this sad time.

sounds like a wonderful soul just trying to make his way,
so sorry, you and your nephew are in my soul searching tonight....

Safe passage to your nephew Bobby, his Dad, and to your entire family during this painful time MFalls 🙏🏻💖....

From what you wrote, it sounds like Bobby gave it a really good fight. Alcoholism is such a terrible disease. I am so sorry that he didn't get to have a lot more years.
30 is way too young.

Your DU family is always here for you.

For Bobby. May the end of his journey be peaceful.

Peaceful passing, Bobby. You are loved.

who hasn't been touched by some kind of tragedy like this.

hometown that hadn't been touched.

Then again: that would be Akron, Ohio - where Dr Bill was from.

who fell by the wayside, NEVER giving up but tapped on the shoulder by his Creator that his body has been battered enough & it's time to come Home, that's what we believe, in my family & nation that is, (African American Heinz 57 with a HEAVY dose of Native American Blood & that's just to begin with).

Please accept my most sincere & heartfelt condolences. Our family was in your family's situation when my cousin who had unacknowledged, untreated mental illness that was devastating. As a result, he got addicted to drugs & he fought to get sober for YEARS but unfortunately, like your nephew, he ended up dying in a park from what was characterised as a self inflicted gunshot wound after diving headfirst into a psychotic break. Though we don't believe he killed himself, (gun was in his left hand, even though he was right hand dominant & a car was heard & sighted driving away at a HIGH rate of speed IMMEDIATELY after the gunshot that was heard by neighbors to the park but I digress).

Like your sweet nephew, he was NOT a loser but a warrior who, due to his mental illness, was trying to fight an entire platoon with a slingshot & a nail clipper. They're both heroes & I'd like to believe that when your nephew returns to the place we all come from, my cousin, Kenneth'll be there to meet him, welcome him home & walk him to where he can get, what we call, a new chassis.

God bless & I promise to pray for him, his daddy, you & all the family & friends who love him so much. Take care of yourself, stay safe & healthy & know that someday, not too far in the future, you'll be able to smile whenever you hear his name.

I'm so sorry, marble falls.

I'll be thinking of you, and him, all night. I'm glad you brought this here. Our little community can be so gentle and comforting. Wishing empathy for you, and safe passage for him.
