Our family made the decision to take my brother's tube out last night and I was with him holding his hand as he passed away. Chris and I along with a cousin and his wife had the privilege of being with him when he ended his long battle here on this earth. It was a very peaceful death. After taking out the tube he lasted somewhere around an hour breathing on his own and passed away at 9:12 p.m. and the look on his face was one of such pure peace that I know the right decision was made. Please pray for my father and sister and my brother's ex-wife Cindy. We are on our way to the funeral home to make arrangements and I will post the time and date of funeral as soon as I know something.
Here's to you big brother! You never met a stranger and you loved everyone with such passion. Rest in peace. I love you!
Melissa
