Lost one of my employees today.
Normal morning, he came in around 745 and loaded his truck for the morning delivery.
He came back to the shop around 10 and reloaded the truck for a few local deliveries.
Around 1030 I heard some odd noises from the break room and went to check on him. He was slouched over in the chair unresponsive, no pulse.
Drug him out of the chair and on to the floor and began CPR.
The Calvary arrived about 5 minutes after the initial 911 call and took over compressions and hooked up the AED.
He was already gone by the time I got to him.
Left behind a wife and two teenage boys.
Take away:
Have a emergency contact and make sure your colleagues know it. It took us 2 hours to find his wife’s phone number.
Double check the life insurance info. It looks like he didn’t fill it out fully, might have some issues with that.
The good:
He was a believer, so we know where he is now.
Hell of a day.
