Gone At 57

by Chris Maddera on December 1, 2007

I haven’t had much time to sit down at the computer this past week, so for most of you this will be new news. I’m sorry I haven’t managed to write even a small post until now, but I just haven’t been able to bring myself to do it.

My dad passed away last Sunday, November 25th, 2007, at approximately 3:00 PM. His condition had been slowly deteriorating over the past month, and then it sharply declined over the last two weeks.

Since then, life has been pretty hectic, and I suspect it’ll get worse before it gets better. I might get into more of those details later because, really, this is all a huge fucking mess.

Instead of cards or flowers, you can make a memorial donation to the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, specified for cancer research and in memory of Nolan C. Maddera.

Thanks, you guys. I’ll be back in a few more days.

Chris! I’m so sorry. I was wondering about your dad the other day. Winter is hard on people who are sick. You and your brother and your families are in my prayers. I won’t even try to say anything to make you ‘feel better’ but just know that you’re in my heart, okay.
