I can't believe this. I have texted and messaged him several times, but never heard back. Honestly I thought maybe with my condition he just really didn't know what to say or how to act around me anymore. He wouldn't have been the first and that was ok. To hear this was the reason is heart breaking. I truly will miss you friend. I am so sorry. I know you are in a better place. Thanks for always making me smile. I hope they have as good of pizzas as I used to bring you at 2 am. Love you bro. Rest in glorious peice.

TJ was one of my best friends in this lift. I've known, or had known, TJ for more than 20 years. We spoke fairly frequently and got together from time to time. In May 2024 TJ dropped everything and went with me to Denver to fix my daughter's car. This was with a bad shoulder that he was going to physical therapy for. I had him to dinner at my place east of town in June 2024. The next time I texted him, in September 2024, I didn't receive a response. I texted him again and told him to respond, which he of course never did. I didn't launch a search for TJ until January 2025, which of course led me to his obituary. I'm distraught that I missed not only my friend's death, but also the memorial service for him. Please don't be mad at me, TJ. I didn't know. I'll miss you terribly. Goodbye, my old friend. Rest in peace. As we said at the end of every phone conversation, I love you, brother.
