Remembering Davis' 'Compassion Guy' after Fatal Stabbing

TL;DR Summary
David Breaux, known as "the Compassion Guy," was a fixture in the town of Davis, California, where he would ask passers-by to share their definition of compassion. Despite being unhoused and without a job, he became a communal therapist of sorts, offering calm and comfort to those who spoke with him. He was tragically found stabbed to death on a park bench in April, leaving the community in shock. However, his legacy lives on through the impact he had on those he touched, and two benches in town now bear his name.
