Talked with a friend of mine last night who said he wasn't feeling good. Another friend found him today @ 2pm dead in his bed. He was 59. I know you can't turn back time, but MAN! I sure wish I would've done more

People dying that you're close to has to be the worst part about living I think. What a weird night...
 
Sorry to hear about your friend. I clicked on this thread thinking the lights in your garage went out. You might want to get a mod to move it for you.
 
Trouble, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I know a bit of what you're saying here. My son lost his best friend about 2 months ago in a senseless motorcycle accident (his fault). Had it been a typical day my son would have been on that bike with him on their way home from work. These kids were like one another's shadow. They worked together, went to school together, played basketball together and on occasion dated the same girls (not at the same time). They were planning on moving into an apartment with a couple of other friends in December. This kid spent a lot of time in my home and we knew him well. Watching my son traverse the wake of this young man's life has truly been an experience that touches ones heart.
 
Sorry for your loss Trouble. Death is never easy to deal with . We must just live our lives the best that we know how because there is no promise of tomorrow.

Thats very sad. It's always tragic to see someone so young lose their life before it ever gets started good. so many questions and often not enough answers

Thank You

Thank You


Death is one thing we all ahve in common no matter what language you speak

I think my friend may have actually lucked out. I mean other then feeling a little sick yesterday, for the most part he felt fine up untill the very end. Then he just went to bed and died. Sure seems better then 9 months of chemo I guess

I'm sorry about your friend Trouble. One day, our time here will be up also. At my young age I've seen a great friend pass along with my great grandma just last fall. Live life to the fullest, do what makes you happy and do it often...there will come a time we can no longer.

GearHead, sorry to hear about your son's and family's loss. Your ordeal is shockingly alike to one my family went through a little over a year ago. His name was Marcus and he was a friend of our family since we where kids.

My older brother and he where the same age and played on the same soccer team throughout school. He went camping with our family countless times. His parents are still my younger brothers god parents. We use to have fourth of july parties at their house on the lake...countless, countless stories could be told...but one mistake by him on his motorcycle cost him is life. He passed a truck (legally over the dashed line) although breaking the speed limit to pass, but up ahead a drunk driver made a left turn across the intersection not seeing my friend on his bike, killing him instantly.

Thing is, he wasn't wearing his helmet. His head impacted the hood and windshield of the truck. If he had worn his helmet he would most likely still be here.

Lifes never the same without our family and friends who pass, but eventually a 'normalcy' returns.
 
By the title I didn't expect to read this...

No one can predict the future and you had no way of knowing that he was dying but I understand completely how shocking something like this can be.... no one expects to find a close friend dead...

I'm very sorry your friend passed away and for what you're going through...59 is very young no matter how you look at it.....RIP
 
I lost my dad 10 years ago today, he was 5 days away from his birthday - his 93rd. Still, bothers me and every October I get a little "weird". Sorry about your friend, 59 is too young! It seems the older I get, the less I take breathing for granted.
 
Sorry for your loss, and the others mentioned.

It's thinks like this that make us "check" ourselves , where we are at, where we are going, and what have we have done.
