Gone Before His Second Act
Three heart attacks didn’t scare him into hiding; they shook him awake. He poured what time he had into his children, into showing up for men who had nowhere safe to fall apart. The Fellaship became his final, fiercest role: not star, but brother, listener, lifter. The fourth heart attack took his body, but not his impact. It lives on in repaired marriages, in sons who know they’re loved, in men who didn’t give up because he refused to.
