I can tell you that he recently had surgery at a local hospital and had been injured for 11 years, and during that time he finished/graduated from high school and took some college courses. Rocky was a "high" Quad-Complete as his neck had been broken in two places. His passing is just to soon to begin to address other questions. Best Wishes In a message dated 1/6/2012 10:15:44 A.M.

Sad story that leaves me wondering: - What was his injury level (apparently, he was not on a vent, but "paralyzed from the neck down)? - What did he die of (my guess: sepsis from a bed sore)? - How did they go through $5 million in 11 years of full-time care (~$500,000 per year)? ____________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, January 6, 2012 8:06 AM Subject: [QUAD-L] Rocky Clark- 10 Year Quad- RIP Rocky Clark- Chicago Rocky died yesterday after 10 years a Quad, after a football injury while in high school. He was an inspiration to all and he was a Man. May Rocky, Rest In Peace. Best Wishes
