Jessi was a good friend, she promoted quite a few of our fundraisers at events and on her podcasts. I know her dad and brother well too. Worst story ever.

I was at a local pub at the meat raffle on Saturday when the news came to the bar. I’ve never seen 40+ adults spontaneously and hopelessly cry before.

Now I’m in San Fran for work and it’s national news and was silently on ESPN in the hotel lobby and I lost my shit again.

Don’t have much to say other than hug your kids hard. Fire marshal report won’t be out for a while but maybe change the batteries in your smoke detectors too.
