High school classmates that pass away

Who in your high school has passed away? (don't name names)

I am in that age range where I see one expired every 6-12 months. I don't find out on the spot, usually months later. I don't know most of them on a personal level, but I go to their FB and can see a snapshot of their last few decades of life.

Who are some of your classmates that died and what do you remember about them? If you know how did they die?

What prompted this thread is a guy from my high school named AL is deceased. He died last year and I just found out. Super popluar guy --I hardly knew him.

Sucked at school but graduated high school. Nice guy overall. Looked up his FB and he peaked in H.S. After graduating he became a pool cleaner. Eventually got an insurance license.

He went from having attractive women drapped on his arms in high school to one woman that was not attractive and having a kid with her. It looks like that may have been his only relationship.

The rest of it looks like he sucked at adult life. He was a rockstar in high school in terms of popularity, graded and bottom fell out for him. Had stupid jobs, no more dating and died in his 50's.

Was really sad to see everything from his deat of natural causes to how much his life sucked on FB--which is the one place that people exaggerate how good their life is.
