My son was a tower climber. He worked hard and lived out of our ancient RV to pay bills. His boss loved it. If there was an emergency on the work site, there was someone right there to handle it.
He paid off thousands of dollars in medical bills. He was trying to clean up his credit to pass a background check to get a better (more stable) job with border patrol. (The contract was to care for the cameras) He was drug-free. Had to be to get - and keep - those jobs.
A lot of young men are living like that in order to get a leg up now days. It’s better than living in ‘mom’s basement’ and saves their pride. A lot of these jobs are too far from home to commute every day, so they stay in their vehicles. Cheaper than rent or a hotel.
My son died last month in a motorcycle accident. He only had $1500 left in medical bills and an old debt from breaking a lease in order to take an out-of-state job opportunity.
I’m proud of what he accomplished. He was almost there.
I’m sorry for your loss. Your son sounds like he was a fine young man.
But I don’t see what he has to do with this particular case, given the horrifying, bizarre and sinister details of what happened here.
