It's weird. He apparently died about three weeks ago.
I wasn't that close to him- he was my lab partner sophomore year, and we
hung out a few times, but when I spent a year away from UD and saw him again
last semester, it wasn't some tight bond, you know?
Still, this is the first time I've directly known a contemporary who has
died, and it's weird. I mean, the dude was only 21. My friend Alex was much
closer to him, and I'll definitely keep a look out for her and try talking to
her when classes start tommorrow.
He was a sweet guy, though- a total nerd who was completely comfortable with
being himself, and never tried changing himself to fit in. There was a lot of
genunity about him. I'll never forget his attempt to do a stand-up comedy
rountine about proverbs. It was awful, but he was a real trouper about it.
Nice reminder that we shouldn't take life for grantred- because you never
know...
