Sheldon O'Quinn died homeless and alone after being found around noon on Wednesday blocked by a small brick wall in McMahen Park. The spot used frequently for homeless who sometimes sleep in the park.
O'Quinn, 44 to most was just a homeless guy who bounced around local missions and occasionally lived on the street. It wasn't always that way for Sheldon. He had a full time job, friends and co-workers that he enjoyed having fun with. He lived in an apartment with his cats. From that his life fell apart and somehow Sheldon slipped beteen the cracks and died homeless and alone.
Could Sheldon's Death been preventable and our we doing enough for the homeless during the cold winter? These are questions that need to be asked, maybe Sheldon's death could have been avoided.
To have it all at one time of your life and then leave the world a nobody is a real sad way to go.
