Title: A Great Friend Passed Away
Post by: avesher on October 23, 2007, 11:38:44 AM

My friend and one time weight training partner passed away at the young age of 37.  He fought many many demons, depression, addiciton to name just a few.  But had a fuckin heart of gold, especially for animals.  Darren (Balskie) Law, you are in a good place now, RIP my friend.

I would lean towards yes on that, but no solid details.  He talked about wanting to die every day for 15 years.  I'm not in the same city as him anymore, so rely on second hand info.  CW, I know you are reading this and can fill in the blanks.
