Quite possibly you did. He was a downtown entity. I met him through My Place Cafe 5+ years ago, and he was good friends with Sara Anzaldua, who was my receptionist at C&M Tax for a few years and also your client. He was tall, blond, square-jawed, wonderful dancer, well-built enough to look bad in drag though he did a good RuPaul impression. Always so much energy.
Another downtown casualty too--he hung himself from the balcony of the Boathouse Pub, where he lived in the apartment above it. Less than six blocks from my old apartment. I used to drive past it nearly every day, and the ex's cousin worked there. He was found by a cleaning crew at 5am. Right now it looks like a mix of medication, alcohol, and depression. This was his fourth attempt, which I hadn't known either.

*warm hugs*
I'm sorry to hear this, hon. That damned depression is a killer. I am fighting it myself. Doesn't matter how happy I look, for the most part, there's a lack of chemicals in my brain to keep me un-depressed.
I remember him in a vague way. My memories of downtown and My Place are fading. I am starting to feel like a faded Kenosha scrapbook.
