"Hey Facebook friends. I'm asking all you prayer warriors out there to please say a prayer for my brother. He has been battling various health problems for a while now, but today he went into cardiac arrest while at a dialysis appointment and had to be revived by CPR. He is currently in stable condition but on a ventilator. Please keep him in your thoughts and let's all send positive healing energy, amen."
Randy's been a long-time member here, going back several iterations of the Board, I've always enjoyed his posts here - he always has something interesting to say. I wish him a complete and speedy recovery.

Sad news. The following was posted on FB about an hour ago:
"Hello Facebook friends. It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of my brother, Armand (AKA Randy Jackson ) about 30 minutes ago. Armand has been fighting a number of medical issues for years, including hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. Today, during a dialysis appointment he went into cardiac arrest. He was rushed to the hospital, where doctors worked tirelessly to keep him alive, but after his heart failed 6 times, he was declared deceased. At this point, I would have to say that I'm relieved that he's no longer suffering
A year, already. Time passes so quickly in retrospect.
Rest in peace.
I only knew him from his board but, like so many of you, I looked forward to reading what he had to say and interacting with him.
Please keep us posted.
My thoughts go out to his friends and family.
What terrible news. I'm sorry for his family and I'm sorry for all of us.
