An unknown driver took the life of Seth Elmore, a 42-year-old man who was helping care for his brother & sister who have Huntington's Disease. Seth himself was also starting to experience some of the symptoms of the disease.
From the article:
When Elmore's parents died, he moved back to Rockford to help care for his brother and sister who suffer from Huntington's, a degenerative brain disease that Elmore was also starting to battle.
"He was in the early stages of Huntington's and was very fiercely trying to maintain his independence," says Bauer.
Despite the disease, Elmore worked part time while helping to care for his brother and sister and lead a full and active life.
Even now, Elmore will continue to make the lives of other better. His family has donated his organs to help individuals with medical needs.
