Guest Chris Owens opens up about the struggle he faced after the sudden death of his big brother Robbie. As a teen Chris understood he wasn’t like the majority of boys around him, he was gay.

Chris started to ask questions. Who was Robbie really? What kind of life did he have after leaving home? Over decades Chris will collect pieces of the puzzle. Settle in and listen to his story.
