PORT CLINTON, Ohio (WOIO) - Richard Rose was only 37 years old when he died at his home from complications due to COVID-19.

His family said he was very active in helping homeless vets and in preventing veteran suicide.

You hear about this virus and you don’t expect it to affect people, younger people like ourselves,” said Nick Conley, who was Rose’s friend.

“Rick is getting slaughtered online right now for his decision that he made not to wear a mask and that’s not right,” Conley said.

Rose’s family said he tested positive for COVID-19 on July 1 and died just three days later.

“I know a lot of people that haven’t met someone that they know of that has been diagnosed with the virus and I wanted people to see it was real and my hope is that people will see that this does happen and people will be more cautious,” he said.
