re: Win one for The Gata....

I'll share this in brief because his mother gave permission to do so, but......without getting into all the details......he apparently relapsed into an old drug habit the night he made that Facebook post. Best the cops could tell, he got some bad stuff, which apparently has happened a lot in the area (Tampa) in recent months. As HRD said, old demons came looking for him. He gave in that night and never woke up.

A darned shame, but a reminder to us all that we have to keep up the fight every day to be the people we want to be. There's things in most people's past that can come back and take them if they let their guard down. Perry was no different; only human.
