So I found out he passed away last March 25, 2016. He ws a really good friend of mine. I don't know what else to say- I would consider us close, but I'm not even sure anymore, ever since I got busy by the end of last year. I'll miss him, and I hope the other families and friends affected by this will get better and be comforted. I'm sure we can all get through this.. together. King Mars was a VA, a good one at that, and a friend to many. May he rest in piece, for he does deserve a good night's sleep
