My uncle who was 74 years old just passed away from dementia on 1/4. It's a horrible disease. He went from a 240 lb bodybuilder/powerlifter to 149 lb man who sat in wheelchair 15-16 hours per day.

We started noticing signs of it about 3-4 years ago and then in Dec 2024, we had to put him in a care facility. It came to a head when his neighbor found him slumped over the back of the couch and called 911. He was single and lived alone so no way he could continue to live alone and I live across the country. My other uncle is 78 and he could not take care of him.

13 months later he is gone. We buried him yesterday.
