Massive heart attack. Hit him when he exited his van and began walking towards his apartment. Took me by surprise. He used to smoke so many "pipe tobacco" cigarettes with seemingly no reciprocating repercussions, to the point where I thought it seemed like he had this "indestructible" vibe to him. I mean, he just smoked insane amounts of tobacco.
He was 47. Still have his birth date and Medicaid number memorized like the back of my hand. Funny thing is, for the first year I worked with him, I had to work very hard with him to memorize how old he was because when I began working there, he had it stuck in his head that he was 2 years older than he actually was. He lost track somewhere along the line and it took forever to get him permanently corrected in his brain.
Btw, he was a paranoid schizophrenic. I don't think my job was ever any more annoying/challenging than when that dude would venture to gas stations and purchase Stacker 2 pills. Dude would pop like 2-3 packages at a time of those things. I have a LOT of patience with people, but man...I had a difficult time dealing with him when he took those. That's probably what prompted his heart attack...
