“I used to go to the cemetery every day all year round. Sometimes even twice a day… I was, I won’t be afraid of the word, on the verge of madness. People would walk by, and I would talk alone sitting down, and I didn’t care what they thought. I feel like someone ripped half of my heart out and said – live now and bleed.

That’s how these years were. You are dead, but you live. I was in such a state that I was looking for a straw. If someone had told me – go to witches, they will help you, I would have gone. I tried everything. I mean, I was afraid that irreversible processes would happen. And I would end up in a certain institution where I would no longer be able to return to a normal life,” – the well-known music producer begins the conversation on the show “Everyday Heroes.”

“It was the last day when everyone had already decided not to sail anymore. But Gintaras says – no, we still have to sail for at least two hours. Although the last day of fishing is often meant for tidying up. Probably, it was fate,” says the man from Klaipėda.

Gintaras died at just 53. Mindaugas does not hide – his brother enjoyed life to the fullest, had a dream job, many loved ones, and hobbies.
