co-worker of mine shot himself this morning

my dad called me after I woke up this morning and told me about a mechanic who passed away this morning. I called after my classes to see if I needed to bring anything.

Well we got another call back from his wife and she said it looks like he took his life with a gun. I've been sitting here all day trying to figure out what would be so bad that made him do that. My dad runs the shop at this company and he's starting to hear from other places that it was about work. He feels pretty bad about the whole thing because about 2 weeks ago he had to call a few mechanis up to the office and tell them to pick up the pace, Buddy being one of them.

Buddy was one of those guys that always look to be in a good mode and always greets everyone. He clocked in yesterday and noone noticed any problems at all.

So sad to see something like this happen to great people.
:frown:
He had a boy my age, one a few years younger, and his wife.

RIP Buddy Dukes

His name was Buddy Dukes...that's one reason...
Uh...:|

I'm sorry DerrickPerry. 🙁
 
Here's to hoping it wasn't another anti-depressant related suicide. Everything can seem fine on the outside, but internally the chemicals are screwing them up.
My prayers go out to his family and friends, I know they're going through a hard time.

That sucks. A lot of people hide depression pretty well 🙁

I sometimes wonder if my cat is depressed. I started locking the medicine cabinets.
 
When managers try to cajole people forward, the message always hits the hardest on all the wrong people. You and your dad should both go see councelors for this... make sure you talk it out and decide what this means to you. I'm sorry for your loss, GL moving on.

You ARE heartless. :|


derrick: I'm sorry for the loss of your coworker. You're dad must feel pretty upset and I can't imagine what the guy's family is going through. 🙁
 
People who are depressed learn to hide it very well. Usually they feel the best when they are greeting and saying hello to people. But once those moments pass, they begin picking themselves apart once again. It is a hard battle and sometimes the good guy loses.

How is his wife and son doing.

That's not entirely true...I do feel sorry for his wife, who married such a selfish coward, and his son, who had such a selfish coward for a father.

Show some respect for the dead? It's not like the guy can defend himself.

Dude you should edit this and your original post to blanks... This is uncalled for. Start another thread and quit being a dick.
 
You should take to your Dad to see how he's taking it... Don't let him blame this death on himself... See a councellor if necessary...
 
His oldest son found him dead. I know the day is coming to burry my parents but I could not even imagine of walking into a room seeing one of my parents laying lifeless on the ground.

Thx for the prayers guys, I and his family really apprieciate it. I wish I could edit manzelle's post so I could print this off and give it to his wife.



Thx alot AT, your comments even though I know none of you, means alot to me

One thing's sure-shootin... You wound up at the dumb-dumb store and just went ahead and put as much of it in the car as you could fit, didn't ya?

Honestly, quit being an asshat. If those are your views, thats fine. However there's a time and a place, and obviously you are clueless on both. :|
 
I will edit the first comment but I refuse to edit the second one...how can you respect someone who kills him or herself? They obviously have no self-respect or any respect for their loved ones so why should I, or anyone else for matter, show them any?

1) Absolutely tactless, especially to the OP who lost a coworker.

2) You and I have NO idea what his mental state was - he could have been suffering from any number of mental issues or chemical depressions. You have NO evidence that he was a "selfish coward".

 
Depression isn't always a easy thing to spot. I had a nextdoor neighbor who had been having maritial problems. One night he went to the garage, shut the door, started up the car and committed suicide via asphyxiating. Earlier that day while I was mowing my lawn he was teasing me about the ripped tank-top I was wearing. He was laughing and stuff.. That same evening... dead! I was like WTF?!?!?!
