The1onone lost their battle tonight
sending hugs and good vibes for their mission and lighting a candle that state sanctioned murder will someday stop.

Robert Perez greeted his wife, two sons and a brother with a big smile as they entered the death chamber.

"Tell all the kids I love them and never forget," he said in a brief final statement. "Tell everybody I love them. Stay strong. Bye-bye."

After exchanging "love you" with his relatives, he remarked, "I got my boots on like the cowboys."

Just before slipping into unconsciousness after the lethal dose began, Perez said he could "taste it." Seven minutes later, at 6:17 p.m., he was pronounced dead.

1. Good vibes to you the1
At least he didn't suffer like some botched executions or most murders.

Very sad about the kids and all. Statements like his last words and some other stuff I've read written by him makes me think if he could have done better in life, he might have been a decent dad and good person.

But for the grace of {__whatever you believe in here__}, there goes I.
