In the obituary he wrote about how his mother abandoned him and his sister at a young age and how she got pregnant by her brother-in-law. Some of the words written were, “She passed away on May 31, 2018 in Springfield and will now face judgment. She will not be missed by Gina and Jay, and they understand that this world is a better place without her.”
