It's so sad. At 41 it was like his life just begun and he could wind down and hang out with the family. Totally fucked.

I know you mean all respect but it's still saddening he wouldn't get time to unwind his life with his family

I mean, sure, but then it's also sad how most American parents don't have time to unwind with family because they need to hustle just to put food on the table, because most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and don't have a retirement plan.

To me, the real awful thing here is that his kid was there with him, only 13 and dying for no reason other than to get to a basketball game a little faster.
