My current plan for this place is to house what I am currently doing, which is organizing all the photographs I have of Maze and picking out the best quality ones from each year of his life. I'll put them all together into a timeline of sorts for people to look at. There are some gaps, mostly towards recent years where I have less and less of him. He had two Facebook accounts, but it seems he rarely uploaded photos or videos to them. But since I have not had an account on Facebook since before I graduated high school, I was not Facebook friends with Maze and cannot view his full profile on either of his accounts anyway. I know he had a Twitter account that he also rarely used, and a Snapchat which I know nothing about. I belive he had a Pinterest account too, but I think he deleted it.
The biggest problem is that any recent data he had about himself is in one of three places:
1. In devices and memory cards that were ruined by smoke damage in his room from the fire he tried to start.
2. In his phone, which to this day, along with his suicide note, is still being held by Long Creek Correctional Facility. I hope. With their staff changes and change in leadership I cannot help but think that his phone and his note were lost or thrown away at some point.
3. In the devices and social networking accounts of his friends, which I cannot access because I was going to college for 3 years and I never quite knew who all of his friends were or how to contact them.
I work a lot and this is an emotionally difficult thing for me to do, and it's taking forever, but it's happening.
Please, I am looking for anything that anyone can give me. If you have photos or videos of my little brother, please email them to me. I am very computer savvy, even if you think an old device or memory card is broken and the data inside is no longer accessible, I'm the kind of guy that may still be able to access it. If you know of some social media account he used where he posted photos or videos of himself, please tell me so I can archive the photos and videos before the underused account gets deleted.
If you have anything at all that can help me, please email me at drewtardif@gmail.com
Thank you for reading. I look forward to hearing from you.
