Although I can't recall the date, I do recall the last time I saw Brody. I had been out for a walk checking on people around the city to be sure they were managing alright during one the 1st winter storms of 2023/24. I almost didn't bother to check one particular spot but thought I had better, "just in case". Brody saw me approach and yelled out for me to hurry and come to try to help. As I came up to him I could see a mutual friend in the midst of an opioid overdose. Brody knew that I had training and the necessary reversal medication to arrest the overdose and save this mans life.
He quickly gave me a run down of all he knew about what had happened, asked me to take over and wanted to know what he could do to help in this situation. The end result is that man is alive today and although Brody thanked me repeatedly for being there, truth is. with the way the snow was falling, I would not have seen him there if it weren't for Brody staying with him. calling out to me for help and keeping him alive until help could be administered.
I wish we'd gotten better acquainted my friend, Your passing is a loss for many.
