jason marlatt, RIP

sadly, an old friend has passed away.
i learned about 3 weeks ago, that he was in a coma and the family had decided to stop life support. the consensus was, he would die immediately! he held on for about 3 weeks. he died on the 15th!
i did not know him well, but he was in my circle for quite a few years. i always liked him and felt a connection to him altho it was never validated. (if that makes sense)
he married and had 3 kids, 3 boys!
when i found out that he died i felt impelled to send my condolences! i WAS not close to his family AT ALL but i just have this sense that he was central to many poeple and that his absence will be devastating on many levels. i also feel that he WANTED to leave this earth! (does that sound awful?) as much as he may have adored his family, i feel he was overwhelmed and unhappy, for whatever reason.
PEACE to you JASON!!!! you will be missed on many levels, however, i envy you for being in a place where you can be at peace.
NAMASTE!
it was his spirit that spoke more than his words!
