Rumplik's family shared that he journeyed to Macon in February last year, seeking a break from Ohio's harsh winter. They revealed that he was en route to Florida when his motorcycle broke down and got nicked, leaving him stranded.
He spent much of his time around Courtland Avenue and Napier Avenue. Rumplik relied on Social Security Disability Insurance and his family for financial support. He often stayed at local homeless shelters before moving in with a friend he met there.
"He had just got this other one [motorcycle] and he was trying to get it back up and on the road and get it legal and again. My father has to guide him on what to do next because mentally, it is kind of that of a 13-year-old," Marlo added.
His family also disclosed that he battled several health issues including bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and kidney failure.
