This is actually something I would agree with and support whole heartedly. It takes someone to have walk this very dark path or at least care for those that have to appreciate how difficult and devastating this illness can be, not least for the victims that survived a loved one and have to still endure the sigma propagated by the misinformed. Again I pray and hope that this man might now find peace and a dignity that had eluded him and his family over recent years. We should invest our time in celebrating what was an exceptional talent and honour his own wish to be remembered for those all to short years. God Bless.
