Srs post: Prayers please!

A friend, cousin actually, of mine hit his head in a freak accident on Friday night (fell off of a skateboard, probably goofing off with friends/family). Due to the swelling and impact, the doctors are saying that he is 100% brain dead. They are keeping him on life support for 2-3 more days just in case, by miracle, this changes.
I think I believe in prayer. I used to pray a lot when I was younger, not so much anymore. This whole event has been enough to make me give it a shot.
My friend is 30 years old, has a wife, a 3 year old daughter and a 18 month old son. Truly one of the most fun guys to be around. Hope to see him again, but we'll see.
I'll throw a little PSA out there, while I'm at it:
Please make sure your life insurance and "affairs" are in order. I know a lot of younger folks put these things off, and you really never know when things could go south. You could be hanging out in the cul-de-sac on a Friday night with some friends and then *boom* that's it...
Also, put your phones down, spend time with your family/friends. Listen to them. Talk to them. Enjoy the time you have. Life is truly fragile.

Done. Advice for other skateboarders

This is why you wear a helmet and all other pads when boarding. Safety first. Hope your friend recovers for the sake of his family.

Guys. Thanks for the prayers.

Friend passed away last night.
His wife has a very good and supportive family and extended family (I might be biased, though). She and those two babies will be taken care of, but it's going to be very tough.
