Our condolences to Ross' loved ones.
some reports say he took the easy way out instead of serving his sentence. He was already dying from a genetic disease and was in more physical and emotional pain then anyone could imagine. He is greatly missed and loved.
ReplyDeleteI love and miss Patrick so much, i met him when i was 15 and he was 13. he always had a smile on his face and was one of the most polite, caring, and loyal guys i knew. He made some dumb decisions in life but he made a lot more smart ones. I love you patrick , you're buddy Anthony!
