From a blog -

"You know, I've never been able to understand the desire to end one's life, even though I've thought of it myself. As most of you know, recently I lost two close friends of mine. Dan Brochu and Dan Whiteside. They both commited suicide, and it was a tragic, senseless waste. Everyone has problems, I have problems, you have problems, hell even my dog has problems, although that's usually settled with a big lawn and a doggie treat. But for people with problems, even if they are huge ones, there is always a way out, barring someone killing you for oweing them money of course. I have seen people go through things like abortions when they're 5 months pregnant to being diagnosed with cancer of the uterus. I myself have dealt with drug addictions and a mental breakdown. These people are all alive and happy and strong today. My friends were people younger than me, they were barely into they're 20's, and for some reason, neither one of them could find a way out. I don't know what was running through they're minds or what they were thinking. All I have left are my memories, and I hope they never fade. I'm asking all of you who read this, if you ever feel like there is no hope left, nothing left to dream about. Then reach out to someone, someone close to you, or someone who you trust. There are people who care about you, even if you think you dont' care about yourself. Dan brochu didn't reach out to anyone and there's evidence that he fought to live in the last moments of his life. Please don't make they're mistake. Everyone who loves you will gather in one spot, but you won't be around to appreciate it if your dead, because bottom line, I don't care what beleifs you have, Dead is Dead."
