He had just gotten his first start and did well; the future looked promising. I wonder what was going on in his personal life to lead him to suicide, if indeed that's what he did?

It is not really odd - there are many things that can cause teenagers and young adults to do this. And it really is not our right to know. Prayers to his family, friends and teammates. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is just symptomatic of societal problems. My sympathies to his family, teammates and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To commit suicide so soon after one of the greatest moments in his life seemed odd to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is more than football. (And 25 years on this planet is often a pretty limited life experience). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSFBfan Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Very sad for the college football family as a whole the cougar family and of course his family. We have to do more as a society to try to help teens and young adults when it comes to their mental state. See the signs and tell someone if you see it. Some people are very good at hiding what is really going on. At the end of the day this is very sad. As someone who lost a family member at a young age it certainly hits home. RIP. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesseract Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 It took me aback earlier today when I read about the incident. I remember watching the kid at Upland... from what I’ve heard, he was always an upbeat positive guy who liked to tell jokes any given opportunity. Really shows just how hard it is to tell what someone is going through underneath it all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really shows just how hard it is to tell what someone is going through underneath it all. Sometimes joking around a lot is a front to some serious deep stuff. It's very sad. Guys like John belushi robin Williams Chris farley etc all were very funny and had some very dark demons. Not that I'm comparing situations but you can draw a parallel. Like I said I lost a family member in their 20s so it hits very close to home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GloryDays Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Not trying to make light of, or add speculation to the issue (I have zero insight) but Suicide Tuesday is a real epidemic. Hope his family is able to find some sort of peace, somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
