No! Totally blindsided...I always enjoyed my interactions with him and his humor. He was a sharp dude too. I’m not surprised to read some here offered support. Any other of you feeing down, you have friends here. Start a thread or send a PM to someone you trust. Right anyone quarantined and alone ill but you a flight to go stay with Raoul in France Hotman you ok? I'm good... Have lost a lot of work mar/apr but it's starting to get rescheduled. Could definitely be worse here |

Wow... always liked him & felt bad for him because I knew the divorce cut to the core.
I told you guys recently that I got laid off at work back in 2018. Worst time of my life & one of only 2 times that I was depressed. The other was when I got divorced. I was ok with the divorce but not seeing my kid every day are me up.
Anyway, when I got laid off, I had to move too because I had a house with my job. Felt like the whole world was crashing around me. The day I was moving, I was particularly bummed out. Felt like the whole load of shit was hitting me at once.
And then I got a phone call from a friend telling me that a good friend had committed suicide. It rocked me to the core.
I knew the issues he was dealing with & we talked about it. But I just never thought he was that low. He didn’t live close to me at all so it was easier to hide the pain I guess.
I found out soon after that he had been talking to a friend of mine because he had been worried about me and asked my friend to keep checking on me.
We both saw signs in each other but only one of us took some extra steps to try to help more. I always try to look for those signs now.
I hate suicide. In my darkest times, it was never an option. But now I’ve learned to try to look for signs in others. But it ain’t easy.
This shocked me today & then I thought of all the signs. They were all there.
My heart goes out to his kids & his family. God bless you Alex. I hope the pain is all gone for you.

I recently had a close friend tell me she was going through depression which caught me off guard because she was always the upbeat/fun/happy type. |

Fucking brutal and I give you immense props for holding it together and marching on. |

It’s funny to think how one person can make an impact on other people that they’ve never met. Don’t ever forget that. All of you have impacted other people’s lives who don’t personally know you.
RIP PK

God bless you Alex. I hope the pain is all gone for you. I knew about your friend passing but had no idea that happened at the same time as your losing your home/job. Fucking brutal and I give you immense props for holding it together and marching on. I’m old school. I don’t ever want to go around whining about my problems. Shit, I’ll never off myself. But when my friend did, it fucking sucked. I had the moving company moving my shit over to my house. I got a call earlier in the day and ignored it. Then I got several more calls and then an urgent text I knew some bad shit was up. The news knocked me on my ass. That gut punch where you literally can’t fucking breathe. A friend committing suicide is fucking awful because you’re filled with grief and guilt all at the same time. He was worried about me while I was too wrapped up in my fucking misery to see how fucking truly miserable he was. The warning signs were there. I saw them. But he glossed them over and just made it seem like he was rolling with the punches. Fucking live with that afterward. That pain and guilt never fucking goes away. The Hampur is like a modern day Land of Misfit toys. Everyone in here seems a bit fucked up. Shit... everyone everywhere is fucked up. EVERYONE! The assholes here just seem to embrace it. And fucking laugh about it. I’ve always like fucked up people. They’re real. Alex always seemed real to me. His life was fucked up. Shit, he told us about the fucked up shit in his life. But he seemed to be rollimg with the punches. Rest In Peace Alex. You deserve peace. If the Jets ever win a Super Bowl, I’ll raise a glass to you. Then again, By the time that happens, there’s probably a better chance that I’ll raise a glass with you. God bless you brother. |

The more I drink, the angrier I get about this. Me too.... Can't get him off my mind. He PM'd me a few months ago asking about the job market here in Charlotte. I still remember his "handle" on the old JI site. Location: Van down by the river |

Easily Top 5 of dumbest things I've ever said/done. Also in your top 5, meeting me for beers in Paris after I'd been chugging all day with my moron pals!  Of course I get the Uber driver from hell who drove me in circles for 45 minutes while you waited....  |
