I received news this morning that a friend of mine had committed suicide. I found out through his girlfriend who is one of my closest friends and means a lot to me. Currently, I am still in shock and disbelief that this really has happened. They were really good together. A nice couple. Zach was a really good guy too. I am very thankful that I was introduced to him and was able to spend time over the last two years getting to know him. Those are memories I will keep with me for the rest of my life. I wish that I was in a better state of mind to write about how incredible of a person that you really were. I know that I will be seeing you again some day soon. We can have a beer and play some pool because if I remember correctly I owe you one. Watch over everyone here as they grieve and get through this very difficult time. Especially your girl. I know she really misses you and feels lost with the thought of you being gone. You really meant a lot to her as well as many other people. We all will miss you. I love you.
Rest In Peace, Zach.
EDIT:
This has been being passed around FB and other sites and I want to get it out here. It would mean a lot to me if everyone could pass this on. I think that this should reach out of the U.S and go on an international level. The showing was just today and the funeral is set for tomorrow morning.
IN ZACHS MEMORY ON SATURDAY HIS MOTHER IS ASKING EVERYONE TO DO A RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS B/C WE ALL KNOW ZACH WOULD. THIS IS GOING TO BE POSTED ALL OVER THE U.S IN E-MAILS NEWSPAPERS AND INTERNET POSTS SO PASS IT ON... IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO HIS FAMILY B/C WE ALL LOVE AND MISS HIM SO MUCH

ReplyDeletefeel sorry for her girl. condolence,kace.
you will see each other but not too soon.
*there aint beer in heaven,kace.:P
I just recently found out that it wasn't a suicide. He was on a sleeping aid called ambien and would get up in the night and without knowing rearrange things. He got up and (while asleep and not aware) got his gun and clicked it... and shot himself.
