man I really feel for him and his family and friends.....kinda makes me look at all of my choices.

[Mr1der]

well, nice to know the ***** copped out on his son and killed himself.

seems like he blamed everyone else and not himself in anyway.

maybe it was his fate to raise his son into a better person that could've changed the world. Instead, he chose not to raise him at all.

Although he didn't take the best route, I personally think that it isn't good to talk about suicide and the people that choose that way like that, it makes me cringe. Some people just can't take the stress and emotions that come with life. I had a friend that recovered from a suicide attempt, but he had no one around to help him through a tremendous ordeal and lasted only 2 more days, the night before I was knocking on his door to take him to Six Flags. I also lost my mother to suicide in 2001, and I still cant get over it. it is not a small thing, it affects everyone around. I am not flaming you or anything like that Mr1der, but I don't think it is appropriate to talk about this guy like that, none of us knew him personally

[Mr1der]

well, I don't mean to offend or hurt feelings, it's just how I feel about it and doubt I'll ever change it.

in his case, I'd have rather died, but seeing I didn't, I think I'd have to go on, especially when having a 7 year old son.

I'm sorry, but there's more to live for then just your body.

I don't want to dig into bad feelings or memories, but don't you feel though you've been severely cheated?

the most I can wish for is that people who read things like this that have thoughts of suicide, instead of thinking of thier problems, think of other's problems, or perhaps the burden and sorrow that the taking of their life will cause.

Once again, I'm sorry to offend or stir things, I just view suicide as the most selfish thing one can do.

Life just isn't something to give up for yourself.

Mr1der, I find your name calling highly inappropriate. You would not want his son to read that.I just returned from a funeral in Clarksville, IN of a coworker that took his own life. It is a horrible event for any family or friends to deal with. It is a selfish act and I feel the individual knows this. For someone to end their life, we have to believe they had reached a point where they tried everything and were unable to cope with their situation. Its hard for us to understand without walking in their shoes.This weekend, I saw a mother and father bury their 25 yr son. That really tears me up.Please remember these families in your prayers, especially this guy's 7 yr old.

Someone delete this post. You need to RE-READ everysingle one of his posts again. The other car was to blame for all that so why would he blame himself for it. For an opinion thats pretty sad. I dont normally judge opinions but jeeze dude, i agree there is more to life than just your body but he went through a lot of emotional stress also. Did you forget to look at that.

GodSpeed to him and best wishes to his family.

Of course it wasn't all his fault for the accident, but that's completely irresponsible. I can only imagine the depression and pain, but he had something far more important to live for than his vanity and pride. Abondoning a young child like that is inexcusable and the way I see it, suicide is almost always a cowardly cop-out. I feel worse for the kid than than the guy.

[SmithSR]

Mr1der is right about this guy's selfishness. Now that kid has no father figure to raise him. The kid is punished for his dad's decision.

[Fenvy]

just respect his decsion, stop criticizing about him

[Morph]

I wouldnt call it selfishness. I dont think any of us can contimplate the pain and emotional distress that he went through. Waking after a week to find a mangled shell of what used to be him. Laying there basically wating to die. In his mind he had nothing to go on for he wasnt going to live a normal life at all. And him getting hurt like this doesnt just affect him it severly affects his kid to. So maybe he wasnt thinking of him self when he was going to end his life maybe he thought jis son would have a better life.

C'mon guys... yes suicide is a selfish act and a stupid thing to do but criticizing this guy and name calling when things like that happened to him....

No one here went through an accident like that... so not trying to understand his emotional state when things like that happen is very insensitive. If you were close to this guy and knew him personally then I'm sure you would not call him names and criticize his action.

All we can do is pray for his soul and his family but please... do try to be a bit more sensitve towards the subject.

Edit: not to mention all the problems he had with creditors Social Security/Medicare responsiblities and forms when he is injured like that... jeez...

My prayers go out for his family and his soul

[[Zero-S]]

The name calling was not necessary, but your idea is right on, James. Theres no way I could commit suicide, there is always a solution to lifes problems that doesn't involve killing yourself and leaving those close to you ****ed.

My prayers go out to him and his son, I don't know what I'd do without my dad.

No winners in that story... Sad, tragic and horrible how things sometimes turn out.

And on that note, let's let this one fade away.
