He later on moved to Louisiana where he was later displaced by Hurricane Katrina and eventually relocated to Austin.
After moving to Austin, he suffered his first massive stroke which left him paralyzed. He later suffered four more massive strokes. In the course of his treatment from the effects of the stroke, he also suffered from kidney failure.
He has been ailing and undergoing treatment and therapy for the last ten years till his death last week.
He did not have any relatives or known acquaintances in the Austin area and well wishers who happened to stumble upon him at the hospital by chance are trying to organize for his return back home to his mother.
