Sunny Garcia comatose in a Texas hospital; wealthy girlfriend Lori Park reportedly funding treatment

And a ray of light, Sunny's third grandchild born…

It’s been a little over a year since Sunny Garcia, the world champion in 2000 and a six-time winner of the Triple Crown, was found near death after a suicide attempt by hanging at his Oregon home.

The forty nine year old had posted this shortly before he was found.

Sunny was subsequently hospitalised, put into an induced coma, was on kidney and liver dialysis, sent to a hospital in California for lung surgery and, now, according to close friends, he’s in a coma in a Texas hospital and undergoing treatment paid for by his wealthy Harvard-educated girlfriend Lori Park, one of the first software engineers at Google.

Our source says Park has the “resolve and the resources” to, if not cure, at least improve Sunny’s condition.

A good person to have your in corner, one might say.

Among Park’s skills and expertise on researchgate.net (a “social networking site for scientists and researchers to share papers, ask and answer questions, and find collaborators”) are neurorehabilitation, motor learning, cognitive rehabilitation, acquired brain injury and physical rehabilitation.

Rumours persist of a split between family and friends on how to treat Sunny, however, something brought into relief this morning with a post from family friend Nicci Lee on the occasion of the birth of Sunny’s third grandchild.

As you know over a year ago Sunny tired to take his life. He has struggled with depression for the last several years of his life. His bloodline and the mother of his children’s bloodline also struggle with a history of depression and suicide.

I had the unique perspective of supporting Sunny’s children since Sunny’s suicide attempt. It was an intimate position where I got to see what they actually had to go through in the aftermath of Sunny’s incident.

I had never seen a battle of dark verses light so up close until this experience. Greed and control verses love.

Seeing his children suffer under this dark power was heart breaking to say the least. They fought to be with there Dad for months with hundreds of thousands of dollars, lawyers, and an unbearable amount of stress but were beaten.

As hard as the kids tried to fight it, having so much faith that light and love would prevail they were beaten down by the dark Sunny had let into his life.

Seeing his children suffer under this dark power was heart breaking to say the least. They fought to be with their Dad for months with hundreds of thousands of dollars, lawyers, and an unbearable amount of stress but were beaten.

They ended up with their Dad being stolen away from them, zero access to him and have not seen him is over 9 months. The dark had seem to have won.

It was beyond frustrating and heartbreaking to see them go through this. But once again- the Lord works in mysterious ways and yesterday brought in the only thing that could possibly ease Sunny’s children pain- a ball of love, the highest of blessings, a little baby of Sunny’s descent.

His family line continues.

What the “dark power” is remains unclear.

Our source wouldn’t be brought into the matter, saying, “It’s a fucked-up situation.”

Hello friend

I worked at the hospital he was at in TX. Can confirm that his “girlfriend” was/is the dark power, and batshit crazy.

Sharon

Lori is an evil POS, if you know, Sunny, the love for his children, and grandchildren is bigger than her. She is a control freak and her Karma will get her. I truly believe if Sonny’s children were allowed to see him that would be a positive because they’ve always been his medicine. And somebody takes a vantage of that no good can come from it the suffering that she’s brought upon his children as well is so evil you have to be a dark soul in order to do this to someone’s children. All I can say, is karma will be your bitch, Lori, money is the root to all evil, and you proved it

MaxNeoprene

Met Lori on Namotu a while back…um…. yeah.

Greebnurt Hurkurmurgurt

And what was your impression?

MaxNeoprene

I’d rather be in a coma

Hippy

If the boys ever wanted to take a day off, they could just post Anonymous videos on loop?

frank

if we want anonymous, probably have to pay more, like a “premium” membership or something

Hippy

Remember last week when I predicted both Stab and BG would be purchased by the same owner and relocated to offices in Colorado?!

I was referring to Surfer/Surfing, but wouldn’t that be ironic?

Mikey C and Chas reunited and it feeeeeels so goooood.. Reunited and it’s understooooood.

Joe Deal

America will often take her once grand and reduce them to laughing stocks … and she has done this as the once best mag on earth, Surfer, is now simply an inquirer imprint … sevo sold us all out in the first place, PECKER [of course that’s his name; of course he is Trump’s friend] is the guy’s name behind it all … death of a legend … too bad soooooooo sad … if any of you are paying for such rot please start collecting old issues too … for your own good …

Hippy

Dude is broke, what are they fighting over? His care? How does a girlfriend execute power of attorney?

Dick Simmons

Let the poor guy go. It’s what he wanted.

Wilbur

Living wills are VERY important.

Italo Post Heat Interview

Italo Post Heat Interview

Owen Wright's Brains

A bridge too far, I think.

GiGi

Dumb Florida Redneck

Joe Deal

Greebnurt Hurkurmurgurt

Paywall?!?!? To be honest I felt a flash of shock and anger and almost lashed out and hit the “downvote” button. But then I took a deep breath and composed myself, and decided to express my feelings to you instead of downvoting you in a fit of passion.

The Bitchy Crab

Only joking, no paywalls here, ever.

Billy Hunt

Why? No one would pay?

The Bitchy Crab

Open borders, baby.

Abscessed Llama

Your fake news diverted comments away from sunny..

Owen Wright's Brains

would need to upload your creep folder for anyone to be interested.

The Bitchy Crab

Is that all it would take?

Owen Wright's Brains

voyeur porn is the most saleable.

The Bitchy Crab

And cuckolding scenarios, I’m led to believe.

Billy Hunt

Why don’t you just start doing porn? You know you want to

The Bitchy Crab

Done my time in the adult industry (print), ghastly arena.

nyc surfing golden boy

no one on earth will ever pay for this bullshit

grumpy local

Do you accept Dogecoin?

Tom

Almost read that as “dark” being Lori????? As he somehow taken from California to Texas away from family as she has resources and supposed skillset?????
Obviously probably reading it all wrong – but have seen scenarios like that in rehab from personal viewpoint
Holy shit a year!!!

The Bitchy Crab

I think metaphorical dark forces rather than one person. Multiple viewpoints, all borne out of a love for Sunny.

Chief Hot stuff

Thanks for clearing that up.
