I just found out a friend (and ex coworker) of mine has passed away.

It's very sad, and i'm not sure what to do except mention it.

ah, you're right. well, here is his obit:


Tyler Lee Gaston

Tyler Lee Gaston, 23, of Hudson, Ohio, died July 1, 2004.

Tyler was a senior at Kent State University, where he worked in the library. He was a jazz guitarist and played in various bands around Kent.

He is survived by his parents, Paul L. and Eileen H. (nee Higgins) Gaston of Hudson, and sister, Elizabeth M. Gaston of Maryville, Ill.



and here's the article from above:

Train kills Kent man near Summit Street

KENT - A CSX freight train struck and killed a Kent resident early Thursday as he lay in the middle of the railroad tracks near the Summit Street crossing, police said.

The victim was identified by the Portage County Coroner's Office as Tyler Gaston, 23, who lived at the University Inn, 540 S. Water St.

An autopsy was scheduled to determine if drugs or alcohol were factors in the man's death, police Capt. Jim Goodlet said.

``He was lying in the middle of the rails when the engineer saw him,'' coroner's investigator Thomas Decker said.

Decker said the train was northbound at about 30 mph, just west of Mogadore Road, when it struck the man about 3:30 a.m.

Goodlet said police investigators were trying to determine why Gaston was in the area. He said foul play was not suspected.

Officials did not release any other details.
