What I have learned about this experience since is that the human body is a well oiled machine, with hundreds of thousands of working parts that work with one another to keep you alive, and all it takes is for just one thing inside this well oiled machine to not be working properly for something dire to happen. There are medical conditions and things that I had never heard of or could even contemplate before my heart attack that I know of now, and a lot of them are real, horror type stuff that could keep you up at night just thinking about. My only thought is that Glenn possibly had one of these conditions, and quite possibly didn't know it, despite the youth, vigor and charisma that he displayed in his videos. I can only hope that his passing was a painless one.

There is an old saying that goes, he who dies with the most toys, still dies. Remember to cherish your lives, and to give your love and appreciation every day to those you care about most. The human body is indeed a delicate machine, always be sure to care for it as well, and never take it for granted. And if you feel that something isn't right with it, please, GET IT CHECKED OUT. While you might be afraid of what you might find out, it is only with that knowledge that you can better tackle it and start down a path to fixing it.

Sorry if this was preachy...as a heart attack survivor, Glenn's death hit me a little hard, because while we don't know what exactly killed him, I can only assume that what happened to him wasn't all that different in the end to what happened to me. The only difference is that I am lucky and blessed enough to be here with you today.

Godspeed Glenn, our hobby won't be the same without you.

Amen. Last year, one of my best friends passed away. Thursday night we were in the kitchen talking, the next morning I was woken up by frantic knocking on my door, her bf said something was wrong, I had him call the paramedics and she was gone 4 days later. She had a massive stroke at 38. She was in great health, went for a run everyday, ate right, took great care of herself. Trivial is so right, make sure you get your check ups, if not for yourself than for the loved ones you'll leave behind
