Awful News

One of the first-year students I mentored last semester has died. He didn't attend many of the mentor meetings, so I didn't know him all that well, but certainly better than I know ninety-five percent of the 1Ls. I even met his parents back in August.
There were a couple of school-wide meetings to offer explanations and counseling, but I was unable to attend, so I don't know what happened. Whatever it was, it was unexpected and very bad. The guy was young, newly married, and had a baby on the way. His obituary indicates that a college fund has been set up for the baby.
