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

I never talked to Mike extensively and I know that we disagreed about certain things, but there was more than enough gags and funny stuff from him to make up for the differences in prospective that we held. He was a good man, and I will miss him.

Holy shit, THE Mike with the Denzel avatar?

That's insane. Proves how frail human life is. Longtime lurker, always enjoyed his posts.

R.I.P Mike

I still dont understand why he would have done it?

Neither does anyone else.

I was traveling the last 3 weeks and when I read this and posted I was really tired and it didn't sink in.

I am sitting at home now, and dammit, tears are flowing.

Why the hell is it, that our best are taken so early?

RIP Mike, we met once, but you had a lasting impression.

dear Will, I'm so very sorry. Tears are streaming as I read the posts. When I saw the picture with the red shirt, it immediately registered who Mike is. We had a whole discussion on the red NM workshirts a while back. I haven't been online much lately, I've been battling depression silently. My good friend's cousin, Erin, hung herself early last week, and I've been with her a lot listening. Just trying to be there for her. It seems every time I lose someone kinda distantly I come further away from taking my own life.

For what it's worth, I quoted this man in my tribute to my friend Ronda, who took her life by gunshot several years ago. Here is the link http://ash.spaink.net/phil-sar.html

There are no words to take away the pain. If I go to the UU tonight I will have a candle lit for him.

Dear Mike, you will be terribly missed, but I truly hope you have now found peace.

Here's the drawing I promised. If you want to the full size imaged, (2000-something x 3000-something), I'll be happy to get it to you. If someone else wants to give this a coloring go, be my guest. This was kinda my first attempt at this type of coloring.

That is amazing Jace!! Great job!
