Chip Reese’s only son, Casey, died Monday from what is reported to be an accidental prescription-medication overdose. This is just over 16 months after Chip’s passing.

I can’t imagine the grief the Reese family is feeling. I had to deal with the death of my father in November after his 16-month battle with brain cancer came to an end. His death was something my family and I knew was very likely to happen. Despite knowing it was coming, it still was very and at times still is very hard to deal with the lose of my father when he was only 60-years old. The fact that this family has had two sudden and unexpected deaths has to be extremely difficult.

This is just a reminder that things can change instantly in life and you have to take advantage of the time you have. I hope all of you are able to do that. – Schmelzer
