Muff Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I just got off the phone with a hunt camp member and I was told of one of our young members (18) took his life this week.........I watched this kid grow up every year...saw him after he took his first deer...he was a football star...and yet he turned a gun on himself.....I have tears in my eyes as I type this guys....so very sad....hug your kids...always tell them there is nothing we can not talk about and work out......R.I.P. Mark my young friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hate to hear this. I lost a cousin to suicide, he was in his early 20's. It hurts for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 it's definitely a horrible and selfish thing to have happen with anyone. to happen to a young guy like him just makes it much worse. he had practically a whole life to live yet. sorry to hear it. pray all who knew him get through it the best possible.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Watch for the signs. Sometimes they're there and easy to spot and sometimes not. If you do suspect someone is having trouble, make sure they get help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Good advice. Somtimes in retrospect there's obvious signs, sometimes not, you can't beat yourself up over it either way, but sometimes life allows us to intervene. So sorry to hear that Joe, may God be with the family/friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 So sorry to hear this Muff. Prayers for you, the family and all his other friends. I've been through this once before myself with an old friend that did the same thing. I still miss him. I'll never completely understand why he did it but I've come to the accept that you can't make sense out of an irrational act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 So sorry to hear that Joe. Mental medical issues can trigger that, I went through that a couple years ago, got diagnosed with bi-polar and when i was on the depressed side, those thoughts were racing through my head too. Luckily my parents helped me through and I got on the right medication, have felt great for over 2 years now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hate to hear it, Joe. It's never easy when friends die, especially in ways we don't understand. God's peace be with you and the young man's family and friends. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBow Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 So sorry for the family. I have seen and felt the pain of suicide in my family, had a close friend lose his son by the same circumstances that your 18 year old friend took his life by and had a work colleague take his life at work in the room next to me the day before New Years Eve, 3 years ago. There is finality for the victim, but life long pain for those surviving them. The hardest part for me was trying to understand the "WHY" of it all. Life is so precious and our time here is already so short. TBow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
