Uncle passed away yesterday.

Bassboss · 08-09-12, 07:15 PM

Yesterday I came home from helping my buddy work on his car, and was greeted at the door before I even made it half way though. It was my little brother who said "Be quite, Uncle Mike died (my dads brother)." I walked in and saw Dad and Grandma sitting on the couch, with Grama's hand in her face with her other free hand on the phone with someone.

Later that night, my dad told me exactly what happened.

He said that while in the shower his legs buckled and feel. He had bad hips and had many surgeries to try to fix em. He crawled out of the shower and called my Grama. He was in allot of pain and his whole body was black and blue.. he was crying on the phone with her it was so bad. My dad and grama told him to call 911.

Later he was in the kitchen, fell and passed out. His room mate came home, called 911 and did CPR, but it was to late by the time the ambulance and everyone got there. I guess Dad and Grama found out shortly after that.

Cause of death is still unknown, but cause was likely internal bleeding.

I wasn't to close to him, but my Grama and Dad sure were. Dad seemed to be taking it well on the outside, but Grama's really grieving. So if yall could just send a prayer up from them that would be great.

Thanks guys, it really means allot.
