He had a difficult time at navigating life and was a troubled soul but he certainly didn’t deserve to die this way. I loved him so much, we were really close, until just recently. Growing up he was my protector, my hero, I followed him around like a puppy dog. Needless to say I was good at climbing trees and building underground forts. My brother was so good to me, he looked out for me. I was painfully shy and he was Mr Personality. We traveled all over the world and everywhere we went he made friends in the blink of an eye. He was artistic and wanted to be a wild land fire fighter since he was little. He got to realize that dream, and then fell 100 feet off a cliff in the Chiricahua Mountains. He unfortunately was incarcerated at the time but he finally felt like a man when he was on that crew, he changed for the good. The freedom of traveling around the country fighting fires made him feel free, he saw the light finally. He had gone to Oregon on a wild land fire with his crew and the Oregon fire crew told him he had a job when he got out in 18 months. He was so excited, then he fell and everything changed.
I have been left to take care of the funeral expenses and everything that is to come. There is lawyers and police involved and things I've never had to navigate so I am having a hard time keeping it together. If you can help I would really appreciate it. I plan to turn all of this into something good for my brother, he will be remembered, trust me.
