Not to be morbid, but were there complications with inserting the tube? My son survived brain surgery 4 years ago, so I'm just curious. How devastating for his family.
If you didn't make the list, my friend, it wasn't because your erudition was lacking, nor because your heart wasn't in the right place. Maybe you just didn't get caught; maybe you've been on the list all along and just didn't know it.
This fight was more fun with you in it.
I am very sadden and emptied to hear this and am grateful for him to have been with us.
Barrett first caught my attention and become an instant celebrity to me when I put two and two together that he did a youtube v-log type video in early 2007where he started off talking about being upset as a Hillary Clinton supporter and then revealed that he changed camps to Ron Paul. If I remember the video correctly, he took his Hillary shirt off to show off his Ron Paul shirt under it... maybe I'm off the mark on that as he later pulled the video from youtube. I was just trying to find some reference to it but no luck yet. I'd love to see that again if anyone knows anything about it. His style and spunk was something else, he will truly be missed.
As hard as it is, I am very grateful that Dianne was able to inform us, I would hate to just have someone like him disappear with no one ever knowing anything. Everyone else needs to please consider this too across your whole "online" being, because YOU DO MATTER. Think about that-- echoing Barrett's words seems to be most fitting, "I Love Each and Every One of You!"
Rest in Peace, my friend.

Barrett had a seizure on Tuesday morning and was rushed by ambulance to the emergency room. He was then transferred to Presbyterian Hospital in downtown Charlotte that same morning. After a battery of tests and torture it was decided he had to have surgery. He was brought to the operating room around 11:40 yesterday morning.
They gave him some type of drug to make his blood really thick to reduce excessive bleeding during the surgery. Once he received the anesthesia his heart stopped and for some reason they couldn't get enough oxygen through his veins. I am thinking it is because the thickened blood wasn't allowing the oxygen to flow properly.
RIP, BuddyRey. Good guy.

BuddyRey's funeral is at 4:30 this afternoon at Shiloh Truelight Church in Mint Hill, North Carolina. Just before I leave, I'm going to print out this thread and place it in his casket. Please say a prayer for him around that time.
This is so sad, but heaven is a far better place. RIP brother.

A brain abscess is a rare, life-threatening infection of the brain. Local sources may include ear infections, a dental abscess, infection of the paranasal sinuses, or epidural abscess, while remote sources may include infections in the lung, heart or kidney.
A brain abscess may also be the result of a head trauma or surgical procedure. In children cerebral abscesses are usually linked to congenital heart disease.
Brain abscesses may affect people of any age, but more commonly occur in people in their 30s and 40s. Traditionally, they were disproportionately diagnosed in young people - changes in vaccination practices, treatment of child infections, and the AIDS pandemic shifted the average age of infection upwards. Males have double the risk of developing a brain abscess compared to females

People with weakened immune system have a higher risk of developing a brain abscess caused by a blood borne infection. Examples include people with HIV/AIDS, infants under the age of six months, patients receiving chemotherapy, individuals on long-term steroid use, and organ transplant recipients who take immunosuppressant drugs to prevent organ rejection.
The most common blood-borne infections known to cause a brain abscess are:
Cyanotic heart disease - a heart defect, present at birth (congenital), that results in low blood oxygen levels.
Pneumonia, bronchiectasis and other lung infections and conditions. Bronchiectasis is the permanent widening (dilatation) of the large air tubes which begin at the bottom of the trachea and branch into the lungs (bronchi) - it can result in recurrent respiratory infections, as well as other serious illnesses.
Peritonitis - inflammation of the tissue layer of cells lining the inner wall of the abdomen and pelvis (peritoneum); and other abdominal infections.
Cystitis - inflammation of the bladder; and other infections located in the pelvis.

RIP Barrett.
If you can share where he will be buried, I can add him to Find A Grave.

I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
This is incredibly disheartening. I enjoyed reading every one of Buddy's posts, and a smile came to my face whenever his Nic Cage avatar would appear on screen, knowing some sort of knowledge or keen observation was forthcoming.
I will miss him.

Thanks for the info Dianne. I was hoping to go to the funeral but I see its today and will not be able to make the 4.5 hour trip in 1 hour.
I have kept him in my thoughts all day and will pray for him and you.

I didn't know him but this is truly tragic and saddening. RIP brother.
Dammit. Sucks.
He was buried in the Shiloh Truelight Church cemetary. Here is a link: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg...r&CRid=2151953
Philip Barrett Reynolds, born 04/22/1984, died 06/12/2015 . He had a beautiful service. Roughly 15 minutes after his burial there was a five minute downpour of rain. Barrett has an Aunt who is a 100% American Indian living on a reservation in Okeechobee, Florida. As soon as it started raining she said "In our world, when it rains after a burial, it washes the footprints away so the spirit has a clear path to heaven". I thought that was beautiful.
