I just found out that my best friend in high school and the best man at my wedding is in prison.

I borrowed an earring off a buddy because I lost it just before getting into his car and he had one laying about; just some small hoop. It's the same car ride where I left my knife behind and he remained adamant he never saw it, despite rumours otherwise about him showing it off. We drifted apart. I never really swapped out the earring.
He died 2 years ago, during COVID. His roommate said he reported some stomach pain and general grouchiness, annoyed by a cough, and was going to go to bed. He left us that night.
He was a surprisingly good cook, we all found, after he joined some local Texican restaurant for work, saving up to pay cash for his 88 supra; which he then wrapped around a tree when he drove home with a light concussion. "I'll be fine," he said.
From the restaurant he actually went into cooking school and bounced around a bunch from bistro to posh nosh, steadily gaining skill and cred. He'd found his niche, at last.
I'm disappointed I never met him in his final form.
