I don't remember what his forum name was...

I saw this story on the news, didn’t realize he was a board member. RIP
Makes National news
RIP Tom
Thomas Macias posted he regretted attending a party. He died of coronavirus the next day
A friend attended the party while sick
Macias worked as a truck driver and suffered from diabetes, making him especially vulnerable to the virus. Doctors have said people with underlying conditions such as diabetes, chronic lung disease and asthma are at a higher risk.
Before the barbecue, he had barely gone out, his brother-in-law Gustavo Lopez told CNN. But he was incredibly social and was feeling isolated, and decided to visit his friends when the state lifted some restrictions, he added.
"Everywhere he went he made friends instantly," Lopez said. "He was missing his friends and missing his family. So as soon as they lifted some of the restrictions he felt free and he unfortunately went to this get-together to be with his friends and then this was the result."
That's not how it works exactly. I'm guessing he wasn't the model of great health. So many deaths blamed on corona that are not. Rip.
That sucks. He looked like a big ole boy.The article said he had diabetes. Although they were not clear if his was controlled. I understand even if not controlled that it is an underlying health condition that is bad for COVID patients.
That was my second thought!And wait a second... I haven't seen Polar Bear King around here in a few years. Welcome Back.
Damn, I read that article and told the wife about it, but I had no idea he was a boater and friend here on RDP.
Godspeed brother, this sickness just sucks.
That is terrible.. . Rest In Peace Tommy.
please keep us updated on his services
Hey all. Just passing through. I met Tommy on here (it was it the ol' HotBoat days?) and thought some of you might wanna know. Terrible news. He was a great guy with a heart of gold. Y'all take care.And wait a second... I haven't seen Polar Bear King around here in a few years. Welcome Back.
