Fuck man...
In short, he died from complications from cancer. It was in remission (he said it was all gone) but he wound up having a stroke and didn’t make it.
I feel partly at fault because I pulled strings to get him back to work. Light duty desk stuff of course, and only after the doctor gave him the go ahead and everything. The guy is a bull headed Marine, man, and he basically begged me to get him back to work. He was angry about being stuck at the desk! But of course now I regret doing what I did. It was on me, personnel wouldn’t have let him back if it wasn’t for me. I’m his direct supervisor.
fuck idk I feel shitty
