United States Senator Elizabeth Warren's brother dies from coronavirus
Three older brothers, former Democratic presidential contender and Massachusetts Sen.'s eldest fighter Elizabeth Warren, Don Reed died of coronavirus in Norman, Oklahoma, nearly three weeks after testing positive on Tuesday night. Herring, a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force, was 86.
My oldest brother, Don Reid, died of coronavirus on Tuesday evening. He joined the Airforce at 19 and spent his five-and-a-half years of leave and his career in the military, including the war in Vietnam. He was charming and funny . A natural leader, she wrote in a series of tweets and confirmed it in a statement on Thursday. Warren, who has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration's response to the epidemic for months, has not previously revealed that his family was fighting his personal battle against the virus. He confirmed his death in a statement provided to the Globe, stating that the cause was coronavirus.
Herring was born in 1933 and attended the University of Oklahoma, but did not graduate, before enlisting in the Air Force, where he flew B-47 and B-52 bombers. He flew 288 combat missions in Vietnam, eventually becoming a B-52 squadron pilot and a squadron aircraft commander. He earned numerous decorations before retiring in 1973 as a lieutenant colonel and starting an auto-detailing business. In her statement, Warren described Herring as a natural leader with a quick, crooked smile.
What made him extra special was his smile — quick and devious, it always seems to generate his own light, one that lit up everyone around him, he continued.
Known as Don Reed, Herring was the oldest of Warren's three brothers, and he is survived by the other two, John Herring and David Herring. The trio remained tight-lipped about her sister's presidential campaign, as she often spoke of them as a link to her upbringing in her conservative world, highlighting her military service and the fact that among them Two - Don Reid and David - were Republicans, agreed with him on some basics.
Don Reed Herring lived in Newcastle, Okla., With his wife, Judith Anne Hart. Before his death, in a small house amid wide fields. According to information given by his family, he was diagnosed and undergoing treatment for cancer years ago, and in February he was hospitalized for pneumonia. He then went to a rehabilitation center to recover. The family did not identify the center.
The coronavirus has posed a particular risk to people at inpatient care facilities. Other patients in the facility where Herring was staying had active cases, according to what the family was told, and he was tested for the virus in early April.
He received a positive result the next day, but did not show symptoms of the virus for another 11 days. On 15 April Herring was taken to Norman Regional Hospital for intensive care and died six days later. He was not on ventilator. The coronavirus has separated people around the country from loved ones fighting the illness, and that was no different for Warren’s family. Warren spoke with him daily before he was transferred to the hospital, but that became more difficult to do as he grew sicker. Herring’s wife was unable to visit him in recent weeks. She last spoke with him on Sunday, when he seemed to be doing better. In addition to his siblings and his wife, Herring is survived by his two sons, John and Jeffrey. His first wife, Nancy Mcelwain, died in 1982 of leukemia after the two were married for about 27 years
I am grateful to the nurses and front-line staff who cared for him, but it is hard to know he had no family to hold his hand or say I love you - once and for any of us at the funeral. Does Not. Whoever loved her to keep her close to each other, Ill miss you my brother.
Warren often spoke proud of his brothers on their way to the campaign; They were an important part of his stump speech: there is only one Democrat."Do the math," he often said - noting that despite their differences, they still loved each other.
Reid was a veteran of the US Air Force (all three served in the military, Warren often says) and is one of two Republicans. Although he and his siblings only appeared on the trail with him once, while he was in Oklahoma, he never spoke to the press; But a campaign for his younger sister appeared in the video.
Warren is fully understood about the epidemic's grip on the country and the world; And an outspoken critic of the Trump administration's response to the COVID-19 crisis; Release plans to counter its economic impact.

However, she never publicly mentioned that her family was, in itself, a private fight against the virus for weeks, even committing itself to a public fight.
