A man pulled onto a dirt path leading to a field down the road from our house and shot & killed himself. We saw all the Sheriff’s & unmarked cars going by, so husband went to see what was going on. They couldn’t release the man’s name until family was notified.

We received a call while on the way back from taking our Grandson home. Turns out the man was someone we knew. He rented some property from us for 22years. Great guy. My Dad thought a lot of him. This is heartbreaking.?

Sorry to hear this Tracy! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and his family tonight. Suicide no matter the reason is very tough on friends, family and loved ones. :(?

I don't know who needs to hear this but, PSA - IF YOU FEEL HELPLESS, TALK TO SOMEONE.

I promise you, it isn't a burden. Reach out.

He was elderly and had health problems. He had told my husband, about a month ago, that he was tired. But husband saw him the other day & he said he was feeling better. Sad for his family.

As much as I like to cut up and have fun, this puts life in perspective. Never know what people are going through. Take time to be kind to everyone and always reach out if you are feeling down. I have had several people that I listened to and several that have listened to me.

Yes. Sometimes people just need someone to listen to them.
A smile and a patient ear can mean everything to someone.

This! Some people are either to embarrassed to ask for help or they think no one cares. I've been on both sides and it's nice to know there's someone out there you can count on when you're down. I think everyone has some demons they've battled and there's no shame in asking for help. I think it takes a bigger person to admit it.
