Re: RIP Marc Braun Team 3176
Marc always had a huge hug and "Hey Kid" for me. His smile, so contagious, would light up a room, but his belly laugh and giggle were the best. He loved FIRST. He talked about it with anyone who would listen, constantly trying to recruit new people. He truly "got it". Last summer, around a campfire surrounded by geeky people, face flushed and grinnin like mad, he made this brilliant speech about why FIRST is so amazing. His main point: how brilliant the students are, how much fun it is to work with them, how much they inspire him. He loved you guys so much. He loved you, Chris, and he loved every single student from 3176. He loved meeting other geeky people and making new friends. We lost an amazing person this weekend. Words can not even come close to describing the loss that so many people are feeling right now.
Please, tell your loved ones how you feel. Take care of each other. And if you're struggling with depression, reach out to someone, a friend, a mentor. We're here for you.
Braunski, you jerk. Love you. Miss you.
