Life can be short under a lot of circumstances. I respect that he worked so hard at honing his skills and committed himself to his dreams. The man had a great run. It's always sad to see when someone who may have been influencial to so many others passes. However, that feeling often runs counter to how those people lived their lives. Instead of getting sad, remember to take the time and instead celebrate the life they lived. A lot of us won't ever even get to a point in life where we can even type on an internet forum, yet alone do what he managed with his time on this Earth. I was in a bad accident with a buddy a day or two prior to Kens death. I revived my friend, he's still recovering. We cashed in early on some New Years Miracles on our end. I remember reading about his passing while recovering and thinking, "Dang, dude must have just missed the quota". Life ain't fair, life ain't easy, life ain't permanent. Live each day like it's the last, love like you won't have the chance to love again and most importantly, don't forget to live a little before you die a lot.
