Yikes looks like he was just on Twitter as recent as yesterday. I see some tweets from 9/25.

He was a ******** but a ****ing lovable one. I say that with utmost respect as I think he'd laugh at being called that. We weren't super close but hung out enough and kept in touch a little over the past few years. This is truly awful news. I almost texted him recently as we hadn't communicated in a while. Wish I had.

I am in shock. He stopped talking to me a few years ago but I will always consider him a good friend. Such a kind heart, I hate this.

He took his own life. I don't believe any of us can share more than that.

He seemed to have more going for him than most people do, but you never know what was going on in the background.

He would have been 48 in October.

This is shocking, even as just a longtime lurker on this site. It looks like he was actively working on projects literally as of yesterday.

47. He was either 11 or 9 days older than me (I can't remember if it's the 14th or the 16th).

The 14th.

yeah, I always screw up his actual age. I just know y'all are older than me.

Yeah, I have a lot of friends/family born in mid to late October, so it's easy to mix up dates.

Apparently there wasn't a whole lot to do in mid/late January back in the mid 70s.

Definitely. He's active on twitter and we've traded messages now and then there... I think he posted 7 or 8 times yesterday, and it seemed he was well on his way down the PhD road, on a subject perfectly suited to his interests and expertise. It seemed everything had lined up for him lately. I'm still in shock.

Yeah, the "why" of it doesn't make sense to me.

Chris was dealing with some pretty big demons several years back, but seemed to have fought through them and gotten his life back on track.

The one thing that gives me peace in this is that I'm confident that he is with the Lord now and those demons can trouble him no more.

It's a kick in the gut and an empty space right now, but I find some comfort knowing I'll see my brother again one day.

More a mix of testosterone and confidence. Those were great times.

A long time friend of mine passed early last year. He called me on my birthday (I don't think he even realized it was my birthday, so that made it more random) and we had a long talk. He passed away that night. We hadn't talked in months... l was struggling with some things and when I do, I tend to bury myself in a hole and power through it until I'm out. I'm glad I got to talk to him one more time. I'd wished I'd reached out myself.

Reach out to loved ones just to say hi. If you're struggling, reach out. You don't have to unburden yourself if you don't want to, but just reaching out could turn something around. You just never know.

I didn't know him at all but through his posts, and I always appreciated his posts. Same thing with reb, and I've seen how much these deaths affected y'all. I come to these threads to read what people say about them, it makes y'all more real. At the end of the day, all we leave behind is how we treated each other. You can't get older without dealing with loss at some point, so reach out...to family, to friends, to internet strangers. My DMs are always open.

Here. Chris and I had very conflicting personalities, but as long as beer was present, we got along very well; if not, different story. He will be missed.

Scimi was one of the regular posters who everyone knew back when I started posting on the GB almost a decade ago.

Y'all no matter what spats you've had with people, remember that you're never alone. And I'm not just saying that. I mean it. I'm here and so are a slew of others willing to help out and be there for you.

Please, I beg you, if you ever just need to talk or need help, just ask.

Prayers for Chris and his family.

Prayers for his friends, near and far.

Prayers for the TexAgs community.
