My buddy was 35 and had intestine surgery in Oct. There were complications and a stint in the ICU and he was in the hospital past Christmas. He was single and his mom was checking on him today. They had a good conversation while she rubbed his back. She stepped out of the room to call her sister and when she came back 15min later he was gone. Just peacefully.

Craig was a character but if I had to tell something about him to describe him I’d say he was born and raised in Boston and was a Southie growing up. He liked to let loose and enjoyed the drink but had the character to stand up for the little guy/gal.

Hes that guy who watched over the passed out chick on the couch all night because there were some sketchy people sleeping in the house too. 

he’s the guy who was nice, polite and loved people but knew all the hustles/cons/grifts and had no problem calling your shit out a mile away. He wasn’t scared of anything and could take a punch.

so long partner. I’ll see you when I see you

Damn, Doc.  Sorry for your loss.  The things that sucks the most about getting older is watching friends and family slip away over the years.  May your buddy rest in peace.

Damn.  Sorry to hear this, man.

I lost a good friend at 36.  I still miss him 10 years later.

RIP to your buddy and peace to you.

Sorry man. Can you write my eulogy? Preferably while I am alive.

RIP Craig. Sounds like a helluva guy. Sorry for your loss, Doc. Hoping you find peace in this difficult time.

So Sorry for your loss. Good friends are a true gift, and losing one hurts like a motherfucker. 
 

Great tribute. Peace and love to you and yours🤘

sorry for your loss, Doc.

in many ways friends are more special than family, you choose them.

Damn fine eulogy for us who didn’t know him. Sorry for your loss, sincerely. I’m 48 and haven’t lost a truly close friend yet. Most men don’t really make new friends as adults, so when we lose a part of our circle it’s a huge deal.

Take care of yourself. Feel it and miss him, and pay attention to your own health and frame of mind. I wish you the very best and I’m sorry for what you are having to go through.

One of you two has some jowls. If it is you, I'd recommend avoiding chocolate.

Sounds like a heck of a guy.  Take comfort in him being your friend and part of your life.  The pain of losing him will never outweigh the joy of knowing him. 
 

Here’s to the sunny slopes of long ago.  

I’m sorry for your loss.

I lost my lifelong best friend (we bonded over Cabbage Patch dolls in third grade and we were inseparable from them on) to complications from Type I diabetes three years ago last month.

And I miss her every single day.

She was hilarious and kind and she was my platonic soul mate.

Look out for Craig, CJ. Sounds like you’ll get along great.

Losing a best friend sucks. [emoji174]

I'm so sorry. What a great tribute to him.

I lost my best friend eight years ago after a long bout with cancer. Still hurts every day. Take care of yourself.

Very sorry to hear this, Doc.  Peace to you and your friend's family.

Life's hard.  The people we go through it with make it easier.  It's awful to lose one of them.

Sorry to hear doc. I lost one of my best friends about 5 years ago now, to cancer. Saw his little boys last weekend. Hit me harder than any other death I’ve dealt with. RIP Craig. 

Rest in peace, Craig.

Sorry for you loss Doc.

My sympathies to you and others hit by this.

I know what you are going through.  Been there a couple of times.  

That was a hell of a backrub.

Rest in Peace, Craig. 

Thirty-five is way too young; I'm so sorry for your loss.

Requiescat in pace.

Damn y’all, thanks for all the tips of the hat. I appreciate the sympathies. Thanks.

Hey guys, I gotta say thanks again for all your well wishes, it was a very nice and unexpected gesture from this community and it really meant a lot to feel like there were others commiserating with me for a moment. Cheers to you internet. 
 

 

this is a song that’s not really my style, but it somehow fits Craig perfectly and his mom and I were listening to it while we were packing up his stuff last night. So thanks again everyone, truly. And one last, final salute

Damn Doc sorry to hear this. Young and a quick reminder of the brevity of life and how often we take it for granted.  Sorry for your loss man. 

So sorry for your loss Doc. RIP to your friend Craig. Sounds like a really good dude gone way too soon.

Horrible news man. Hate that for his family and you. Like another poster mentioned, keep an eye on your own mental health. Losing your best friend is brutal.

Hit someone up if you ever need to talk about it.
