My best friend took his own life. Rest in Peace, Mike :(

Oh, man...is this real? What's happened brings to mind something Will said to me back in Chicago, about people who only correspond on forums for months at a time, then meet up and it seems like they've been friends forever. To imagine that I won't see him posting here anymore is to realize that I've lost the opportunity to finally meet someone who could have been a great friend.

My condolences Will, and I say anyone who uses this incident as an excuse to spout off about guns should be immediately and permanently banned.
 
That's horrible. I honestly liked what he had to say. I'll miss his posts...

RIP Mike.
 
Wow..I really just lurk on here and not even that much, but I've talked to Will and I know who Mike is. Although I didn't speak to him, my thoughts go out to his family and friends.

RIP.
 
Will and everyone else who knew Mike, please remember that this had nothing to do with you. There was nothing you could have done differently; there was nothing you should have picked up on; there was nothing for you to take personally. Everything he ever did, good, bad, or indifferent is stil valid -- this only changes the future -- but this was about him and how he was feeling inside, and what he chose to do about that.

When something this shocking happens, looking for a way to wrap one's mind around it is as normal as the pain, and to that end our minds often wander to recent events looking for some meaning, some understanding, something, anything that we can touch. I am so sorry for your pain. Please try to take some time for yourselves and maybe get together and talk. It's a lot to take in.

Thats probably the wisest post I've ever seen on this forum.

It's true...
I'm so sorry that this happened...I'm really going to miss Mike :cry:

Just remember him and think of the fun times you've had together, Will. I'm sure you were a good friend...keep those memories close and everything will be ok.
 
This is still really weird. I only talked to him recently about his new lady, and if he'd leave her to be my gay lover.

I can't really believe how some of you have acted in this thread.
