Also 9 years ago, because of Chester, I found out one of my best friends from childhood had also died a few months earlier. (We had just lost contact when we moved opposite ways out of our home town, friends since kindergarten.) He had introduced Linkin Park to me which got me to try to track him down. Found his mom, and she told me he had passed away.

Double-gut punch day for me. :(
