Dang. I feel for him. I was just at a visitation 2 nights ago.

Can't even imagine a little brother.

Can't imagine losing a sibling, tough situation. Hope he'll be alright.

Awful news for him. Love the way the team is handling it though - pure class from Brett Brown/Hinkie/his teammates. Really building a family here.
