I decided to PM him a few days ago just in case he'd answer.
Below is his PM - he mentioned I could share it w/ anyone worth sharing it with but since I can't PM everyone that would be interested I will just copy/paste his PM here:
"... Thanks for asking, Papi. I can't even begin to express how that makes me feel right now.
My ATF was killed by a drunk driver on Mother's Day. I'm pretty fucked up right now. I honestly don't know when, or if, I'll be back.
Feel free to tell anyone you think deserves to know. I messaged shadowcat just a minute ago.
Take care ..."


Sorry to hear that
