Tragic, I lost another good friend a few years ago. My hunting partners son. I've hunted with his dad since before he was born and then hunted with both of them as he grew up.
Great kid in his twenties and had a 4 year old son but did anyways. His parents knew he was upset about the ex wife, his sons mom, but he assured them he was OK and wouldn't do anything stupid. The ex pushed and pushed him and he got into an incredibly dark place and did it.
Depression can be a deadly disease, tough to understand. His dad said the worst thing about suicide is that it doesn't end any pain, it just transfers your pain to those around you. A good reminder to get help if you're really down.
Sorry for all the lives cut short by suicide. Times like now are good times to check in on friends and family and have a good conversation and a laugh or two. Lots of underlying stress and worry out there and people feeling alone.
