He was an empathetic listener, who felt deeply. His compassionate nature made him a friend to all, yet his troubles set him apart.

He continued through this wary life with hope and left our physical world by an accident beyond his control. Although he wasn't given the chance to keep fighting, he would want others to "Just keep trucking on".
