    Too many to list now.
    Talked with him a few times and had a few run-ins with him. All around just a regular young guy trying to do right the best way he knew how. Wouldn't wish what he went through on anyone. Heart is heavy today. This is where TW being a big family sucks, feelin it right in the feels.

    Man I knew I hadn't seem him around for a while. He had sent me a ton of PMs about situations with people being mean to him and asking for advice. But I thought he was good to go. Prayer sent to all of His family. His suffering is over and hope he is at peace finally. Are we doing any donations or anything for the family? Anyone in contact with them?

    The better coast
    I have always believed that the context of death determines if someone is deserving of our condolences. As much as I hated his attitude and the way he carried himself, I do feel bad for him that he lost his fight and hope he has peace where ever he is at.

    We also have to look at the clinical side of it as well. I decided not to post this in his thread about his transplant, but Jon was a human experiment. The facility he was at, according to Jon, had only done 14 previous transplants, which means they was quite a bit of unknowns as far as where, when, and how things can go wrong.

    Unfortunately for Jon, it was an infection. Mix that with the amount of immune system suppressants he was on and you have an environment for the worst to happen.

    I don't say this to be condescending or anything but in medicine, much of the learning comes from the bad. This applies with simple medications to major surgeries.

    So in Jon's death, we have life because doctors this much more information to use next time for someone in his same situation.

    We don't need to just say "rip" to Jon or send our thought to his family, but we also need to thank Jon for his contribution.

    Even thought I more or less hated the guy, he gave far more than I will ever be able to give to the world. So I will say thank you, Jon. I hope you finally have found peace.

    I am not familiar with this TW member, nor was I of the other young member who passed away too soon, but I always thought it was a great memorial to put his truck (and a little saying) at the top of the TW page.

    RIP to a TW member and much love and light to his family.
