I seriously was unaware that Dowis had died.
Mention Craig Garrick and someone may mention that he died after a long battle with addiction too.
An old friend who was with me in school from kindergarten all the way through our senior year died a couple of years ago. When people learned of his death on Facebook, many of them replied with "How did he die?" He had killed himself and the family didn't want to answer questions about it, but the questions still came. I felt bad for them, but that's how it goes.
Dee Dowis died. Oh, he still would have been so young. How did he die?
That's far different from "Max Hall's Coke is caffeine free."
