Johnathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiancee. He was 35 years old. Soft-spoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed soul mate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times, described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life. "Things were clearer for him," Kansky noted. Ultimately Johnathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum", what we currently refer to as destiny....back to the future trilogy, indiana jones trilogy, cool hand luke, serendipity, swingers, roman holiday, the castle of cagliostro, the departed, clue, fight club, green street hooligans, coming to america, knocked up, lost in translation, garden state, ocean's eleven, gladiator, saving private ryan, braveheart, coach carter, hitch, the shawshank redemption, the fifth element, tears of the sun, true romance, shaun of the dead, snatch, the goonies, spaceballs, dumb & dumber, anchorman, grandma's boy, top secret!, robin hood: men in tights, the sandlot, three amigos, summer school, just one of the guys, austin powers trilogy, one fine day, naked gun trilogy, high fidelity, mrs. doubtfire, the hot chick, eurOtrip, etc...
