I didn't knew that he had a very tragic life. Back when i was a kid i thought he was Michael Jordan's younger brother because they kinda resembled each other.

At around 1 p.m. on May 31, 2013, Frank and Monica Murphy pulled out of a Taco Bell onto Tara Boulevard in Jonesboro, Georgia, about 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. They were moving to the area from Plano, Tex., and had an appointment to see a house that afternoon. Their Chrysler Town & Country minivan was loaded with their possessions. Their five children were staying in a nearby hotel with Monica’s mother.
They were excited to be moving back to the Atlanta area, where they had lived for 10 years before spending the past 18 months in Texas. As an interracial couple—he, 43, was white; she, 40, was black—they found Atlanta more open and cosmopolitan than the Dallas area, and their employment situations had given them a chance to move back. Frank’s passion was playing guitar in metal bands, but he made a living operating a forklift and doing other blue-collar work, and had just been laid off by FedEx. Monica had recently become a licensed insurance broker, which meant she could work anywhere she wanted.
They pulled up to a stoplight, the second car in the line, Frank driving and Monica in the passenger seat. The light changed. Frank pulled out slowly behind another car. When he saw the black Escalade barreling toward him at a 45 degree angle, going about 50 miles per hour, he could barely begin to process what he was seeing, let alone react.The surprising thing: Blaylock was sober. His ex-wife had left him, in part, because she knew he would one day kill someone with his driving. But she assumed it would be from his escalating alcohol intake; as it turned out, his seizure was caused by alcohol withdrawal. It’s a fairly common symptom for people with severe drinking problems.
Blaylock had suffered several seizures in the weeks before the crash, and was consequently under doctor’s orders not to drive. These orders went beyond a concerned piece of medical advice: Rather, Blaylock was presented with a form prohibiting him from driving, and he signed it.
Also: Blaylock’s license was suspended from a previous DUI. Also: He was wanted on warrants for failure to appear in court on a separate DUI from the previous March.
