Mike Windu Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I know it may sound stupid, but someone I knew from a game commited suicide. He took his life sometime ago, but I did not find out until today. Evidently, life got too hard for him. The last time I spoke to him, however brief, he was having problems on the jk3files server and a friend of his was trying to console him. I was typing messages to him and trying to help out when the server crashed. Last time I saw him. I don't know why he chose this path, I don't approve of it, but I still miss him a lot. He was a great person to speak to, however funny his name was, he never took it hard, and he was a hell of a jk3 staff user. Rest in peace my friend. (I'm not saying any names because I don't really know if I should) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshot Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 My condolensces to your friend's family. I also do not approve of taking someone else's life or committing suicide. Having thoughts of suicide, and stuff like that, is just not healthy. They only lead to a life full of regrets, grief, and sadness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 Thanks for the reply top. It's going to be pretty hard going to the server knowing he's never gonna show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormHammer Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I'm truly sorry to hear about this, and offer you my condolences. Whenever suicide is involved, many people can become judgemental, and try to reason through it, or apportion blame. I don't agree with suicide, and in my view, most suicides are preventable unless there is a serious mental condition involved. Many people go through dark times, but some people need a lot of help and support to get through them. The world can look quite bleak and unfriendly at times, and we've probably all wondered at some point or other if life is worth living. I always find a reason to live when the world is at it's blackest - so I guess I'm lucky. If they can't find the right kind of support to help them see the light at the end of the tunnel, then it's truly unfortunate, and a sad reflection on society. May your friend rest in peace, and find the solace in parting that he apparently could not find in his time among us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 He was a very good friend of mine. Great guy, and great fighter. May he rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 Aye, that he was TK. The thing that really gets me is that I could have tried to help him more, I wish I knew his email or got to know him better in the time he was with us. He left a note for the Jedi Knight community, all the people he played with on the server and such. :'( Oh, TK, I guess I should thank you. I didn't hear about it until I visited clanlc.com.

Neverhoodian Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Wow, that's rough. You have my deepest condolences. Originally posted by Mike Windu The thing that really gets me is that I could have tried to help him more, I wish I knew his email or got to know him better in the time he was with us. Seems like people always feel like that when something like this happens. Rest assured, this is not your fault. Hindsight is always 20/20; things that seem obvious now weren't always the case then. Instead, be happy that you were able to be a friend to him, a beacon of light in his life, however short or troubled it may have been. Again, my deepest condolences to you and the guy's friends and family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 Many of us are making a memorial about him. So if you know him, or if you want to reach out, PM and I'll tell you what we're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrion Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 You know..it's so easy to just say that it was sad, and that I wouldn't do it because like Stormy said, find something else to live for. But you look at this poor guy's situation; his best friend killed, his relatives killed, and his "friends" just using him up and throwing him away..I feel bad for him; hell, if I had to live like that, I wouldn't know if I could survive through it either. He didn't have the good friends in real life we do(or the ability to decern the good from the bad), and had his closest relative and best friend taken away from him in a flash..with only strangers to comfort him from across the globe..I don't know what went through his mind through all of this, but just from what they said in the other forums, I'll pity the life he had to endure, and that he will hopefully find peace and happiness wherever he's going. Kinda makes you feel thankful, knowing that your entire life has been so good with that you never had to resort to this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 I know. It's amazing he held up with the strength he did for so long. I wish we could have helped him to see that there's something worth fighting for. Something worth living for that you haven't yet found and that life is a long quest to find it. R.I.P. Man. We'll miss you a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabretooth Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Sorry to hear that. Suicide is probably the worst crime in the galaxy. You're free from life after that, but others are tied more tightly then. That's what I think. RIP, Jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-8252 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Originally posted by Tyrion Mike, mind if I attend the memorial? The memorial is going to be hosted at the JK3Files server, where he was well known. We can't say for sure when it'll be, we're still waiting on some memorial stuff to be finished. A few clan members of his are making a memorial skin and hilt, and if he doesn't take too long, an [LC] member is making a memorial map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While his death being trageic and, from what it sounds like, another great light in the world has gone out, there was nothing more you could have done. You tried on the server. You did what you could. You didn't know the guy all too well. No one is at fault. Only thing to do is keep on playing and remember him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alegis Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 suicides and suicide attempts suck... I call it idiocy and egoism from my part. (but this is not a place for discussion right now) so i offer you my deepest condolences. another thing that makes those thing suck is that every one has this big think of life and get a bit depressive, why they did it etc...remember you got nothing to think bad of yourself, if you say you wanted to know him more you'll say the same thing when anther thing happens to someone's name you know from lfn, you can't know everyone better.. It was the persons choice and well, my deepest condolences to his famly and friends. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 youth suicide is a tragedy for whomever it touches.... I offer my sympathies to all who knew him and have been affected by his passing.... ....Next time you see or hear of a younger person having trouble just generally dealing with things, dont turn your back on them, sit and listen, ask them to speak to a teacher, counsellor or family member. mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
