I just found out that my brother died last month.

I had a brother from my dad's first marriage, but honestly, never knew him. I knew his name and that he existed, but that was the extent of our relationship. I didn't even know what his face looked like.
And he died last month from brain cancer.
I can't even say that I'm sad about his passing... as I said, I didn't even know him as a person. He was just an anomaly of my life, basically. An older brother that I just "had."
If anything, I'm angry. I'm pissed that my dad's ex-wife, my older sister (who I also stopped knowing as soon as she turned 18 and completely shut us out of her life), and all of my friends who somehow, through some bizarre twist of fate knew both of us as parts of separate circles, knew that he died and said fucking nothing.
He's been dead since Thanksgiving and nobody said a god damn word about it.
For now we're keeping this a secret from my dad. He doesn't know, and the only reason I know now is because my sister indulged in a bit of Facebook hunting to show a picture of him to somebody who said his name sounded familiar.
But we don't want to ruin my dad's Christmas by telling him that his oldest son has been dead for a month.
I'm just... angry.
