Dying early always sucks, my best friend died when we were only 25. When I hit 50 last year it hit home that I'd already lived as long after his death then he had lived in total. My friend Kevin never had a chance to have a family or anything, I think of all I've experienced in the second half of my life and I feel almost guilty.
Not sure which is better, Steve left a wife and kids which must be hard for them but at least he experienced that hugely important part of life. Same with the ending, my friend felt fine with no signs of trouble, found out he had leukemia 24 hours after starting what felt like a flu and was dead 2 days later, no pain but no time to plan things, Steve was the opposite.
