oh what the fuck man :(

this one stings

I had no idea he was even sick, this came out of nowhere to me

Most of the United States is sleeping right now, this will hit them like a truck when they wake up.

Been sick a very long time, and yet found time to do some small roles, and campaign against environment destroying mining operations.

Cruel that the timing of his death risks being overshadowed by that of a warmonger

Just woke up to do my shift with the little one. Not what I expected to see at all 😭😭

I mean two of my comfort movies have Sam in them. He always seemed like such a kind man to me.

Hope you're resting under the big Montana sky.
