He did not make it. Please keep all of his family and friends in your prayers. It is rough when a young kid takes his/her life.

This really sucks. I believe God has a plan but sometimes it is really hard to see.



Guys, please read threads before responding. It's awkward when you don't.

My heart aches. The pain that the family and those close to them must be indescribable.

Prays for all of those affected.

I understand. No issues. It is just a tough day for a lot of us.

I can’t fathom a 12 year old kid doing something like that. I have 2 grandkids that age that are full of life and so innocent.

My prayers for the family.

There will be a time for questions and discussion, but let's take it easy on Herkdriver and give it some time.
Yes sir, hope I wasn't out of line here Arc. Never been very good with words. Sorry for what you and the families are going through Herkdriver.

I'm just nipping in the bud. There is a time for discussion, after the dead are at rest, is all.

Suicide is always tragic, but for one so young it is even more terrible.

I am praying for you and your family.

Be very watchful of nephew. Suicide is contagious.

God bless and protect.

Herkdriver,

I am so sorry for that young man, his family, and all those that loved and cared about him. I have a son about that age, and am a Scout leader, so I interact with many young men his age. Absolutely heartbreaking. My prayers for his survivors and his soul.
