According to Military support, Lathers “spent years fighting battles that many people never saw. He went through difficult times, sought treatment, and continued trying to find his way through them.”

So tragic, just breaks my heart.” “Condolences to his family and friends. Always tragic. People that struggle, you have loved ones that will never be the same if you do this. There is always hope and you deserve to try,” another said.
