6. Sounds like he was one heck of a guy

I Googled to see if there was anything on how he died, as I always wonder if it's the coronavirus and I came across this:
https://thehumanist.com/magazine/may-june-2013/features/cheating-students-how-our-schools-fail-the-humanistic-vision-of-education
It's an award-winning essay on cheating in high school. It's brilliant, engaging and mature writing -- he was in high school when he wrote it! What a terrible loss for his family and friends and, I think, all of us.

May God help the family find the strength they need.
