Hunter I wanted to drop you a note from both me and Kevin so the Downs family doesn't deluge you with sympathy.

I also lost my older brother, and Kevin's uncle, when he was only 52.  He was a brilliant  paleontologist that cancer claimed far too early.  While it's never easy acknowledging he is gone, the happy memories always ease the pain of his loss.  As a paleontologist who was studying life that occurred over many millennia my brother had an ironic perspective on life recognizing that it is not how long you are here, but what you accomplish while you are here.  By that gauge your brother accomplished more in his 46 years then most will in two lifetimes.

While we know it is time for you and your family to grieve his loss, when the time is right let's get together and celebrate his memory.

We wish you and your family all the best,

Adam & Kevin Downs
