IronMike tribute - R.I.P.

[Slingshot]

Very sorry to hear this..

 

[Got Juice]

Damn!! Never really got a chance to know him personally, but read a ton of his posts and he truly did seem to be doing better. It's really hard to tell how someone is doing only they know the thoughts in their head.

Im very sorry to hear about this great loss!

OH NO

I just hope he found the peace he was looking for by doing this

may he rest in peace

we'll miss you

Beyond words....

I cannot believe this has happened, we all thought he was doing fine. I got a text today from a board member and did a doubletake.

Not knowing the man personally, but only through our frequent chats on this board and the UG, all I know is this guy was a wonderful human being. He and I shared many laughs over the years about dating and women. He always seemed to have something nice to say, and it continued when I was sick. He was a true brother. Im in shock, I wish I got to know him on a more personal level.

IronMike, I love you as my brother. I know you are in a better place and in peace. I wish there was something we could have done for you. I make the sign of the cross and kiss my hand to God in your memory, you will never be forgotten brother. Rest In Peace

mental pain from a break up with someone you care for can be
much stronger then any physical pain imaginable. It can linger in the
mind for long periods. Thats where it does most of it's damage. I
haven't been around long enough to know the guy but my prayers
go out to him and his family too.

This saddens me to hear that he lived in such turmoil and could not seek the help he deserved.

What saddens me is the fact that NO-ONE was able to "reach" him during a period when he needed someone, anyone to help him through a seemingly difficult time. (I'm NOT referring to anyone on this board specifically).

Some people can hide their feelings very well. Sometimes,when we are truly down, feeling helpless and defeated, we can't find the "strength/courage" to seek help & assistance from others. OR, sometimes we fear that our problems may seem insignificant to "others," therefore we end up burying them deep inside, in an attempt to disguise them from those we are close with.

Most who knew him also knew specifically what is was he was going through and although no-one ever thought he would "do" the "unthinkable," it is now blatantly obvious that his "problems" were weighing on him much more than anyone realized.

"NO MAN is an ISLAND and NO MAN should have to stand alone. We all need someone, sometime; especially in times of undeniable strife. Personally, I cannot fathom the sheer turmoil he must have endured to finally reach the point where death out-weighed the very thought of living. (in his mind). Most of us will NEVER know that much pain/strife.

May the Lord show grace and favor upon his tormented soul!

RIP IronMike. Even though I never knew the man personaly I hope he is at some sort peace now. If only he could of read all of these posts on these multiple forums before he did what he did.

 

[speedbacker]

His Family and friends will be in my prayers. Too sad.

 

[Flex4777]

So sorry and humbled to hear this. Sometimes the ones that are in the most amount of pain hide it the best. I know i did when i attempted.

May the Lord be with you forever and ever IronMike, amen.
