RIP Plaidman.
I think he will have fun haunting the SCs

The first I saw about this was Dave's sig and I got a little confused, then I did a search on the board thinking "nah, can't be" and then I found this, my reaction was pretty much

"Aw FUCK"

Not sure what to say but you'll be missed mate.

It is a common thing that people who are contemplating suicide tend to seem happier right before they go. here is a link to the webmd's list of suicide warning behaviors. http://www.webmd.com/depression/guid...gns-of-suicide Wanted to add.... Please don't beat yourself up over not helping like you wish you could. It is hard to deal with and recognize that someone needs help or that they are contemplating this unless they tell you. Go hug a friend or loved one.

Thank you for posting this. I have kept saying, "He seemed fine last I talked to him. Things were going well." That was a couple of weeks ago.

Well, crap.

I didn't know him well enough to know he was suffering from anything. I hope his passing means he's happy and peaceful now <3

I've been trying to figure out what to post for a while, now, but it's so very hard to gather up my thoughts and put them together into something worth committing to the ether, and both Ree and Jester have covered the gist of how this makes me feel.

It's just so terribly heartbreaking that this came to pass. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and all of those he left behind who loved him more than he ever realized.

Would someone who can be at the service take him a yellow rose for me?

^-.-^

Just a heads up - his family said it was OK to make donations to NFNetwrk.org in his name (Driver Liles). I posted it on my FB wall, if you're friends with me feel free to report / share / whatever.

I think what hurts me the most is that in the past couple weeks, he seemed more...I don't know, happy? Jovial? Maybe I was just misreading things and I wish I had noticed something.

When I saw the news I thought the same exact thing.

RIP Plaidman, I'm sorry you felt this was the only way

[Laund-o-rama Mama]

RIP Plaidman. I wish I had gotten the chance to know you.

[Kanalah]

I will always regret that I didn't get to know him better.

He was always trying to help people, and I looked up to him for that. I know what it's like to feel all alone. To me he will always be a beautiful, kind and loving person.

RIP Plaidman, you will be missed.

I have been a member of this site for quite sometime and although I do not post often, I do come on here everyday to read posts so i have become familiar with everyone here. I have read every post by Plaidman and he was such a nice person yet troubled, I know that he just wanted love and acceptance and I know he was well loved by many members here. We are a community who accepts people for who they are as a person, and for that I am grateful. I am saddened that Plaidman felt this was the only way for him but he will never be forgotten in the hearts and minds of this community! RIP

Damn....I didnt know Plaid well, but he was such a kind soul. May he find peace.

My heart goes out to his friends and family
