The 12 months he died, in 2023, he was certainly one of 73,000 people in America who died of a fentanyl overdose. I learned an entire lot that 12 months, but what I spotted greater than anything is that death is what gives life meaning. You’ll be able to’t be smug about existence. You’re forced to reckon with the undeniable fact that life itself is a wonder, a present, a profound blessing.”

I feel the entire thing was to honor him and likewise I can’t wait so that you can see the previous few episodes. I feel he could be cracking up at his story line. I feel he would adore it.”
