Janice called today looking for Shawn. He left his phone home, maybe on purpose, because he didn't want to hear bad news. 
We learned Curtis passed away this morning.He and Shawn have been best friend since before either of them can remember - their mothers were best friends, so they've always been a part of each other's life.
Even before I met Shawn, I knew about Shawn & Curt from the old Trailzzone website. They hiked every trail in this part of the Smokies and posted the pictures and stories to prove it.
When we got engaged, there never was any doubt - even though he has three brothers and three sons - that Shawn would ask Curt to be his best man.
A few months ago, when we knew that he wouldn't get better, Curtis asked Shawn to give the eulogy at his funeral. He asked him to play some bluegrass, so people will "remember me like I am."
