My heart goes out to the family of this young man.
I'm looking forward to the day when ME will be a fully recognized, funded, studied and treated major disease.
A great part of PWME's suffering is man-made and that's what hurts the most.
Another brave soldier has lost the double battle against ME and the mortal sin of ignorance and neglect.

Its just too sad, wasted wasted life, all that talent, intelligence, most respected and most likely to succeed. What a lovely young man he sounded. His parents must be devastated. the cruelty of this disease is overwhelming.

Do we not have a memorial thread on PR for those who have past away from this disease.

For those that wish, there is the GoFundME link provided by Kina would be great way to show appreciation for the family from the ME/CFS community
Personal condolences can made at this site

Not sure if it is online, but National CFIDS based in Massachussetts has a memorial to those who passed, via their newsletter.

This is beyond upsetting :cry:
I didn't know him but I feel like I did. I read his story and it is identical to my own. Both high school athletes, born in St Paul and only a couple years apart. Both forced to live the same nightmare, never getting any answers. Seems he was a very smart and talented young man with so much potential. Every time I hear of someone with CFS passing away it makes me so angry. What does it take for CFS to be taken seriously? How many more amazing people have to pay with their life because of the ignorance of society and the medical community? How many more people have to say goodbye to loved ones after watching them suffer so helplessly?
Rest in peace, Dan. I hope the next world treats you better than this one did. You will be missed, and never be forgotten.<3
