Has a tender heart and is full of compassion for others, he's truly one of the good ones. I didn't like him in his early days of "jackass" and whatnot but he has become a standup guy in every way, which is laudable.

Very sad about his friend who seems to ( from listening to this monologue) died from some sort of illness as it sounds as though he has been in the hospital for weeks at least.
