One of my proctors in school died last Tuesday, July 14th. His name was Dwayne Smith, Jr. aka DJ. He was a really great guy and left behind a wife and three children. To my knowledge there's no word on what happened except he went to take a nap and never woke up. He was in his 30s. Please say a prayer for his family and co-workers, that they get through this. It's hard for me as a student that barely knew him so I can't imagine what it's like for them. Thanks, everyone.

Wow, that's young.

Godspeed, Bro. I'm sure you prepared many well to carry on for you.

Thank you, Dust. We still have no word on what happened, but he had some underlying medical conditions that they thought were minor. It's scary to think that something like this could happen to a medic/RN. He proctored at our school two days before he passed and was supposed to have been there last Wednesday and this Wednesday to teach dynamic cardio for my class again. Two hours before he was found he had been at the kitchen table drinking coffee and reading a paper. You would think that if anyone could spot the early warning signs of a problem it would be a medic. A lot of people turned out for the funeral yesterday and he's being buried today with full FD honor guard. He was really a great man and it's going to be tough being there on Wednesday without him. I didn't find out last Wednesday until 5 minutes before we left. We all thought he was just out sick.
