My brother just died today. [March 5th, 2020]

My brother just died today in a fatal car accident on his way to work. It's suspected that he had a seizure, and floored the gas pedal. He ended up taking out a power pole with just his Acura Integra. My family is suffering this great loss very unexpectedly. He left behind a wife, and a 13 year old daughter. Him and his wife just got married last July, and she's already a widow in less than a year. Absolutely tragic. I went out to see them all today after the devastating phone call from our mother. Andrew didn't even get to see his 35th birthday. He loved working on cars, playing guitar, building arcade cabinets, playing with his dog and daughter, tinkering with computers, and even enjoyed flying in my stepdad's small plane. Andrew is my only sibling, and so our little world just got a whole lot smaller. Rest in peace, little brother.

I couldn't even imagine losing any of my brothers like that. Words and good will can't do much in a situation like this, but you and your family have every little bit of my condolences.

Keep staying strong out there

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
