If he wasn't even reported as missing... It appears that nobody loved him... Poor S.O.B.
Maybe he was in the habit of going off or ha bad relations with family.
Maybe it is a case where he was homeless and people had gotten used to him disappearing for long stretches of time and given up on him.
I know a former homeless guy by the same name from out west who was like that before his sister and her husband talked him into coming to FL and letting them and our church help him get back on his feet. It was tough, at one point he got mad and went back to the west where nobody could find him for a while. His poor health finally helped forced him to come to Jesus and get straightened out. Seems to be working so far, he isn’t cantankerous anymore and he helps others.
I feel sorry for this guy and hope he passed instantly rather than suffering alone wondering if anyone would find him.
