Gary Levi "Scooter" Rudd

Passed away on August 18, 2008.Actually it was the 17th I do believe. I called at 10:00 pm. or so and didn't get an answer. He had told me he was probably going to spend so time with a friend that night, so when he didn't answer the phone I assssumed he was at the friend's house. I came home at 7:00 am. the morning of the 18th. I tryed to get him to the door, no answer. I knocked on the side of the house, no answer. I noticed a neighobor looking out the door, so I waved to them. I then went to the back of the house,and  I looked into the kitchen winbdow, I could see that the T.V. had been left on all night. I began to get scared, I pryed the kitchen window open and began to crawl into it. I screamed oput his name. No answer. I was really scared, when I jumped down from the sink, I was screaming his name "SCOOTER" No answer. I walked to the living room and looked to my left ...........................there he was .........................sitting up with his head layed back ............like he was sleeping..................I knew from the color of his skin that he was DEAD. I thought that if I screamed loud enough that he would come back.....He was gone..........He never came back.     I miss him so much .........We sit therre about 5 hours for the police , forensics, corone, to be finished with the investigation. When they brought him out I just had to see him. His sister had gotten there by that time. She had seen him sitting in the door. She said mama Scooter is right there, sitting on the couch.      I told her yes baby, but he is dead. When he was brought out I just had to see him again. I t was as if it were not true.Everyone left before he was brought out. But I had to see.    Today, I would like to say I know for a fact that my son is in heaven...... I would also like to say that he was inhaleing aresol for an airfreshener can. He was 20 years old. He started when someone taught him how at the age of 10 years old.................Please be aware that this is out there and it is dangerous.........leathel........I miss my son very much and I think he would want me to warn everyone of the danger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so easily accessable. PLEASE BEWARE......
