Oh man. People dying young is always the most tragic thing. Like. oh ****. This kid I used to hang out with, he was a year younger than me but he was best friends with the younger brother of my best mate and I was in teh same class as his twin sisters and sometimes we all hung out and ****. He, outta nowhere, hung himself when he was 12. The summer before starting highschool. The terrifying thing was that I saw him that day, and he seemed fine, we watched Austin Powers. It was jsut the biggest shock, no one knew what to do with themselves.
The other really tragic one was this guy, he was a few years older than me, a friend of the family and I'm not just saying this because he's dead, but he was the nicest bloke you'd ever meet. He was the kind of person who you could just count on and would go out of his ways to help others. Student Exec in high school, all that. For his high school ball (prom for yanks) he like, had stitched these LEDs into his suit and they'd flash as he danced, it was the coolest **** ever.
So the easter after he graduated highschool, not even 18 years of age, he was electrocuted when the sail mast on the family yacht hit some low lying powerlines. It's easter coming up soon and it's always a terrible time now for his family.
It's just feels like a massive loss of potential. They might not have been bigshot central community figures, but dammit, they could've been.
Anyway, I'm very sorry to hear of the loss to your church mate. I hope everyone can come together to cherish his memory, or something. Can I ask how he died?
