"Dawson's Creek" was such an important part of my teenage years and I'll always have a soft spot for all of its stars (aside from no-vax Dawson)

RIP Obi, he was so strong and had such an incredible and positive attitude after his incident, he didn't even feel anger toward the 25years old that hit him and run away

What a tragic and senseless death. Are people just paying zero attention while driving nowadays? Are people driving with blindfolds on? Can't put their phone down for more than five seconds? I hope they catch the driver and they get thrown in prison.

This reminds me of Lisa Banes' recent death (which I still think about often) in another hit-and-run, both of these people died too young and needlessly.

EDITED TO ADD: I thought he died soon after the accident (ONTD doesn't read, sorry). I think my point still stands, though.

51 is way too young :(

NGL, I feel some kind of way about folks in my age group dying. :( I wonder was it complications from the hit and run?

Apparently, losing a limb significantly impacts your heart function

This is so sad. I mostly remember him from Stargate when I was growing up, but I had no idea about the hit and run. May he rest in peace 🕊️
