A very good friend of mine had his 19 year old son commit suicide yesterday. The kid was full of life and was always smiling. I had even got him a job here and he was just a good kid. Before yesterday he had changed to the point our boss here had to let him go. We suspect drugs but I’m not sure. I do know that my friend has lost his son in an unimaginable way and I know he needs prayers of all his family and friends. And I truly believe even all the prayers he can get from people he has never met. I can’t begin to imagine what he and his wife are going through. Please remember them.

I guess in our grief and shock we are not thinking very clearly. I failed to mention the boy has a 3 year old little girl that is now going to grow up without her Daddy. Or even memories of him. Lord have mercy I just can’t imagine
I am so sorry to hear of your friends loss. I can’t imagine what he’s going through. Please know that I will keep him and his entire family in my prayers.
The fact that the young man was in his late teens makes me think that if drugs were involved, he might have been self-medicating. This would be about the time that certain disorders, such as bipolarism or schizophrenia, begin to manifest themselves. I’m not a doctor but just seen this a few times.
