Richard Riley passing – "One of our members, a young man in his 40s, apparently went out to sleep on the couch with everyone in the house having the flu and he died in the night. He spent some of his time at Berkut Engineering and was more recently at Boeing – a PR guy and a sweet man. He leaves a wife, a 2 year old and a small infant. It is so hard when the young die… Memorial December 13, 2008 at Newport Center United Methodist Church 1601 Marguerite, Corona Del Mar, CA

I hope his family is ok, thats really rough especially someone so young.
My mother in law found a man dead yesterday, he was only 52, was working on one of the casino projects and staying at budget suites. had what he thought was a minor injury, that got massively infected, died in his sleep
I've been hearing about wayyyy too many deaths this year!

The Holiday season is the most stressful on body and the fatality rate soars.
In most cases it goes up four times the norm.
I lost my dad about 15 years ago the day after Christmas.
It happens and it really sucks.
If you know this person just be there and help where you can.
The family will need it.
