“Going to school one morning, 6th grade.

Noticed my neighbors car was backed up to his window still running. Then noticed the hose pipe running from the exhaust right into his bedroom window. Opened the door to a house filled with exhaust and confirmed he was still in there. Then went back home and woke my parents to call 911.

Didn't have to worry about going to school that day. Rip Danny Rubio.”
