He has suffered a massive stroke and heart attack.

We know that many of you will have questions, but as of right now we don't have any further information.

This is very sad news. I am so sorry to hear it. My grandmother did the same thing after having her colon removed because of cancer. It was in the 50's and she was a Victorian lady and could not bear the thought of having a colostomy bag. She stopped eating or drinking and turned her face to the wall and died.

Well, that is very bad news indeed. My prayers are still for him and additionally for his family. I know it's no help, but it's for us to try to understand when someone decides to go out alone. They may not be angry or spiteful, it is just their nature. Merciful Father accept this fine veteran and family man.

If he doesn't change his mind, he will die alone. That's the bottom line. There's no sugar-coating it.

That's the saddest thing I've read in quite a while.
He may be thinking he's sparing people who love him the pain of seeing him go.
But no one should die alone.

Continued Prayers.

I can barely read this, it's that sad. I hope he at least changes his mind and allows his loved ones to be with him as he passes.

It was difficult to read your message. Where it not for my faith, there would be an overwhelming sense of helplessness and anger. God be with us all.

Very sad ... doesn't seem a suitable situation for this dear man. Wish and hope someone he knows will just be there with him in person, as we are here in fervent prayer, and Our Dear Lord hovers near and knows all. Hard to know what to say, except I know if it were my Dad, uncle or friend, I don't care what he said ... I'd be there. God bless him and his family.

Because of work I haven't been able to keep up with FR as much as I wish.

This comes as quite a shock to me personally; I was expecting positive developments; I am taken back to the 4 long months I spent incapacitated in hospitals during 2004-2005, with all the surgeries,tests,needles,fevers and rampant infections.

The feeling of despair that I would never get well and live a normal life again. And maybe it would just be better to give up and go to sleep and never wake up..

Saturday night prayer for Brian that he not give up!

Thank you for letting us know, Mojo. Our God can penetrate even the stubbornest heart.

Gracious God, please bless this dear man and all those who care about him, and may Your powerful healing restore him even in this late hour. We confess that nothing is too difficult for you. In the Name of Jesus who even raised his dear friend, Lazarus from the dead, Amen.

It's not possible for Tonk to die alone.

This is so true. Thank you for this.

What sad news!

But we know that 'With God.....All things are possible'.

So we will continue to pray that Brian will let those who love him comfort and express their love for him.

Thanks for letting us know. Prays also for his family and for you during this very difficult time.
