My son passed away about 3:00 this morning. He would have been 41 on Thursday.
It wasn't completely unexpected. He suffered from anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, APS. It's a uniformly fatal autoimmune disease that causes excessive clotting, and hence pulmonary embolisms and pulmonary hypertension. I think he may hold the world's record for how long he survived after diagnosis: 14 years. So we're thankful for that.
I hope this doesn't make you good folks sad. We're happy for the 41 years we got.
As a side note, if you have sleep apnea, get yourself on a CPAP. Apnea causes pulmonary hypertension. I have a little bit of it myself, from going many years without treatment. If you want to live to be as old as my dad (94), get on your CPAP and stick with it, regardless.

Of course it's sad; no father should have to bury his son. I am very sorry for your loss and will certainly pray for you & your family's peace.
I am very happy to hear your gratitude for the time he was here. That'll get you through the tough days ahead.
Take care sir,

I just don't know that I have enough words to console your loss but am glad he survived as long as he did...

I've not experienced such a loss and can only imagine your grief but with whatever measure I can I share it with you. My deepest condolences.

May the Good Lord be with you, your Wife, and your family at this time. May he hold your Son in his loving arms, now and always. I would write more, but the truth is the tears and the heartache for you and yours makes it hard. Take care of each other, and be safe in your love for one another, and your Son.

It doesn't matter...losing a child is as bad as it gets. I need a tissue now.

Can't be much worse than losing a child. Hope I never find out, though I've worried about it some. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time Denton.

No parent should suffer the loss of a child, even an adult one. My sincerest, Denton.

Denton,
I wish to express my sympathy for the loss of your son. And I also understand your gratitude for the years in which you got to share in the joy of his life.
I send best wishes for the entire bereaved family.
