my uncle bobby did that, he got some tumer from pesticide spray. He was only 24 when he did it. My grandma was at the stoor, my grandfather who passed away aug. 4th 2002 ( RIP ) was at work. And everyone else was at school, my aunt paula and my grandma came home to my uncle dead on the ground, shot himself in the head.... i never got to meet him...

I am sorry to hear this.My father did the same thing last december 19th.

I am not sure how close your uncle and you where.I am sorry to hear this.People say the pain goes away.I will tell you one thing it has been 4 months since it happened.And I almost cried about it today.My mom still cries everyday.


All you can do is be there for your family.And don't be afraid to talk about it.One of my best freinds father died sept 12th of last year and we have talked about it.It really helps to get it out.


If you need someone to talk to you can e-mail me at

sc86350camaro@cs.com.Or if you have IM instant message me sc86350camaro.We can talk about whatever.

I've lost two family members to cancer, and I can definitly sympathise with you and your family. Glad you could get it out here, because as you see many people do care and are more than willing to listen, including myself. Just remember, The loved ones you lose wouldn't want you to stop what you do because they passed on. Do something positive and call up your ridin buddies and go for a ride in rememberance of them and to enjoy the short time that we all have on this earth.
Feel free to PM me if you need to talk, God Bless!

My dad shot himself in the head the day after my B-Day last year. It sucked so much @$$, I never cry, and I cried for days it seemed like. He did it cause he had really bad finacial problems,( I live with my step dad and mom). Then this year my uncle did it cause my aunt just got up and left him with the kids. It suck when you lose someone so close to u. Stay STRONG Matt...and keep it real.

Man, I feel for you and your family. My family called me last night to tell me my great grandmother had just died. It is just so hard to loose anybody in your family. Just stay strong and I will pray for you and your loved ones.

Whenever someone dies close to you.You need some support.even the strongest people do.

And remember that whenevwer one of those troops dies.They are also someone's dad,brother,mom,sister,some relation to someone.So just remember that.

Sry Guys,i have just never been one to go tell the world about family problems...

Imean NBC doesn't need to know my cat died or me and mom's got in a fight...

Plus if anyone of my family memeber's died,i'd prolly not let it make me depressed and all,cause i am not that kinda person, just live life,i eman we all die sometime..

Yes, this thread is depressing, but it is a reminder to all of us. If you take your own life, it really hurts the ones you leave behind. You leave so many unanswered questions. The people will wonder, "Is it something i caused, Could i have stopped this"? This will be with them for the rest of their life.
Things will get better, and there are ways to make things better. Taking your own life is not the answer. Talking to someone will help you to realize you are not thinking clearly, and realize there are other options to your problems. If anyone has these thoughts, please go talk to someone, anybody. A friend, a priest, your dog or cat, just talk to someone.
Sometimes i talk to my little dog. Not drawn out stuff, just things like" Well, radar, what are we gonna do about this? and "Well, I guess we'd better get off our butts and get this fixed".
Radars always there for me, just to lend a ear I guess. :D

Well said QJ.


And yes I agree.Whenever a sherriff wakes you up and tells you your dad just shot himself.Remember this is your dad.One of your best freinds,your mentor,Someone you love and care greatly for.Just took his life.You will never see him again,never talk.I am 17.I am still a kid.I am at the point where I need some guidance.Your father has been through this already and is there to help you.You take that away and guess what your lost.



I am sorry for ranting but your reply just hit a nerve with me.You seem as if you have no regard for other people's feelings.

Talking is sooo important and like you said, no matter who it is someone who is a good listener and open minded..

im sorry man :( i kinda know how you feel cuz about 1 or 2 years ago my uncle jumped off a bridge into a river. i didnt really know him that well because he was a distant uncle but still, it felt terrible to think that someone in my family had done that because i always remember seeing him at the family reunions but hes not there any more.

Im never one to pray at all, but when somone dies, I always pray for them. Since my dad shot himself, I used to pray to him, trying to talk to him and ask him why the hell he did that. It made me so mad, yet so sad.

If any of you need a shoulder to cry on, mines extra absorbent

Well said Quadjunkies! Nobody is forced to read or reply to this thread, and if we can help someone feel just a little better during such a tradgedy then why not? If this thread is not someone's cup of tea, they can ignore it and just move on the the next thread.
