It is a shame. He had everything. He was so talented and funny, a natural leader. He excelled at almost everything he attempted but, I believe, his lack of genuine confidence is what made him lean into drugs and alcohol. Those last few times we went out in '93/'94 I noticed he'd already been drinking when I picked him up. I had no way of knowing how bad it had actually gotten though. When we were out he'd get completely hammered and want to start fights with strangers. By my early twenties that kind of behavior had lost its luster.
