He's gone.

EDIT: DJ Pascal, my brother, passed away at 3am.
I'm told he was asleep at the time.
I found out when I woke up at 10am and checked my cellphone.
He had been in treatment for over 2 years for cancer.
It started in the breast, then fled to the spine.
The Sibling had been in the hospital for the past 3 weeks.
I had just transferred him to a convalescent home yesterday because we hated that hospital so much.
His wish was to be cremated and to have his ashes spread out at sea.
It will be done.
I'm accepting donations to help pay for this.
Contact me at zrath at toast dot net for information.
There will be a memorial service, time and date to be announced later.
I will try for a Saturday, and it will be somewhere in Los Angeles.
Anyone who wants to come is invited.

Thank you so much for your kind words.

May his passage have been easy, the coin paid, and may his journey thrive. He travels now in bright company, on an adventure we can only imagine. May you draw strength from his memory, peace from knowing his suffering is at an end, and some joy from having shared his life.

Remember, you are loved.

It's over.
