Prayers to his family and friends. So sad that so many people are passing on lately from car accidents, drowning, being Murdered ect, ect. I wish just for once in my Life that this stuff would all just disappear. So many lives cut way to short way to soon. R.I.P. whoever you are.

It’s always possible he had a heart attack or other medical event. Other wise I’d guess he hit his head? What a tragedy, but he passed away doing something in that he loved.
