What this episode covers
This is an emergency episode - I am on vacation in Montana and got a call from Don 'DJ' Rentz's sister, telling me that Don was being kept alive on life support and if I wanted to say goodbye to him. I did and later that day, on July 4th Don passed away. I wanted to make sure everyone in our community knew about Don's passing. The tragedy was seemingly not an overdose - instead his death has been determined a homocide. The Rentz family are devestated and looking for more information - so if anyone has any - please send information to [email protected] This episode is meant to let you guys know what happened and to be a tribute for Don. He was a beloved member of our community and a tragic, tragic loss. If you’re struggling, please reach out for help. Rest in peace, Don we love and will miss you always.
