Sad update on Santo Rugger

[Rasa]

Seems like I only come back here for sad news anymore. I just saw Santo Rugger’s mother post the following on the Prayers for Patrick Facebook group his family maintains for updates on him:

(Original thread on Santo Rugger’s accident)
“It is with a very heavy heart that I tell you all that Patrick was placed in hospice care this week. During this very final chapter of his life, please remember his indefatigable spirit. He has fought a very long and arduous fight and has never given up. He is resting peacefully now. Please continue to keep Pat and our family in your prayers.”

I thought some old friends may want to know.

Damn.

Thank you for the update.

I am very saddened by this news. Prayers to Pat and his family.

I’ll say this applies not only to Santo but the whole Rugger family.
Very, very sad to hear this.

Ah, shit.

[joyfool]

No no no no. My prayers are with them all.

[WordMan]

Oh, no. So sorry to hear. My thoughts are with Pat and his family.

[Annie-Xmas]

So very sad. My thoughts go out to all who know him.

[koeeoaddi]

Oh no! I’m so very sorry to hear this.

I just came here to post this. I can’t belive it’s been seven years almost to the day since his accident. My heart is breaking for his mother; she has been tireless and fierce in advocating for his care over the years. It’s been a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, but lately he’d been doing really well, even getting out and about with his caregiver. Everyone had such high hopes … and now this? Almost unbearably sad. Patrick was a kind, happy, vibrant man and he’ll be missed by many. He loved politics and Barack Obama and I think he would have enjoyed this crazy election we’re going through. I’ve really missed engaging with him and always held out hope that someday his brain would heal itself enough to find a way to communicate and come back and start posting again. I’m absolutely devastated for his mother and all his family and friends.

Be at peace, Patrick; you are loved.

I also saw the Facebook update, and came here to see if the news had been posted. So very sad.

[dogbutler]

Oh no.

[Mahaloth]

Wow, sorry to hear.

[Living_Well_Is_Best_Revenge]

Horrible news. I had been wondering how he was doing.

I could not have said this better. We’re losing another rock star in 2016.

I can’t say it any better than this.

I should have known better then to open this at work. Very very sad. We are still with you, Ruggers.

[Sailboat]

My thoughts are with Patrick and his family.

[Leaffan]

Shit. That’s sad.
