    Anybody hear anything about a service for Cain? I can’t believe he’s gone. He struggled to do the right thing. If a stranger was hungry and he had change he would give it. I’m hoping it wasn’t foul play. What a tragedy. This ex Marine served our country! Show respect. Condolences to the Arteaga family.

    So you posted drug overdose with no proof whatsoever? That’s wrong. This isn’t right! I’m so upset over Mr Arteagas death I need to find out what happened. Censorship in action.

    I’m so sad. I knew Cain, he was my friend! I’m in shock. He didn’t deserve to die. God bless him. I’ll always miss him.

      The “drug overdose” comment is just “here say” unless there is proof. Assumptions suck. He was a good person! Had some rough times recently. My ❤ aches . One in a million kinda guy. Rest in peace Cain. God speed . brothers are together
