The older I get, the sadder it is to see youngsters die early. RIP He.
Kathy, I heard about this this morning on Regis and Kelly. He was on Regis and Kelly some time back. It's sad. :(
very sad indeed..... so many people are passing away :(
it is not how short you have lived your life anyway but how meaningful it was.
I didn't know that, I have seen him once on TV here in Belgium. 21 is too young to die, sad.
