Friends of yours or people you knew

[ericlee]

That have died. Yeah, sorry if it seems morbid but I've learned that the more you think about them and talk about them, the easier it is to get over. Also it makes it easier to realize that life still exists without them. We've got to carry on.

I'm sure that when I listen to music, every song that I hear reminds me of a certain person I once knew.

The first person that I knew of that died was Doug Sacs. This was during junior high. He was involved in a car accident in which he had gotten t-boned by an old couple. The old couple got sighted but poor Doug died at the age of 12.

Then, while I was in high school, Gretta Miller and some girl named Tina passed away from the results of a high car speed chase from the cops.

I had a junior high school study hall teacher die while I was in high school because she was riding her motorcycle outside during an Indian summer and she hit a patch of ice, causing her to loose control and run into a cement pillar.

My friend Greg died because he was a drug addict. He tried to inhale a can of butane which caused his lungs to freeze and he died instantly.

Another friend of mine bought a crotch rocket motorcycle and he was riding the thing to it's fullest potential. Therefore, he crashed it causing such a bad accident that they needed to look at his dental work to identify him.

My pops passed away. R.I.P. you cool guy.

A twin from a set of twin sisters that I knew during high school has passed away.

I've lost 8 teamates while on duty in Iraq.

I've then recently lost one of my best friends.

All these people gone. So many years have passed but yet, I still remember them and I'll even hear a song or watch a show that will remind me of them.

Suprising enough, after all the shit that I've done. Whether if being drug related- close to overdose or my time in the mideast, I'm still around.

um i'm not going to go into everyone, but a girl i knew died on friday night. she was a friend's little sister. 23 with 2 kids, one only 4 months old. i can't stop thinking about how it happened, she flipped her car into a powerpole and broke it and the car flipped over and caught on fire. but she was conscious and screaming for help but ended up being burned alive. one thing you always hope is that they don't suffer, its so much worse when you know they did.

Mom's best friend died due to breast cancer when I was 14. I was close friends with her daughter, and I still am.

My dad's co-worker's son committed suicide when he was 13. He was a perfectionist, and got a D on an English assignment. He shot his brains out all over the kitchen, his parents came home to a bloody mess. Closed-casket funeral I went to. Worst part of it is my dad had always been warning her to keep all the guns locked up, she said it wasn't necessary because her son didn't know they even had a gun.

Two great-aunts died, one I never knew and never met, the other was my favorite relative in the entire world. She was a great lady. Both from old age.

Huge thing in high school happened between 3 people I knew. One tried selling the other two a bag of oregano (told them it was marijuana). The other two went batshit insane, beat the shit out of him with a heavy log, stabbed him 28 times, and threw his body in the park near my house. Since they were all from my high school, it was quite a big story back then. The kid who was murdered was always kind of a dick to me, so I can't say that I had strong feelings on the matter. But everyone involved were people we knew, and that was really disturbing. Official story. (http://www2.jsonline.com/news/nat/ap/sep99/ap-brutal-slaying093099.asp)

Overall, there weren't many that I was close with, just my aunt (and old age is an understandable excuse), and my friend's mom whom I loved but wasn't particularly close to. I've been lucky.

The first friend I had who died really threw me. It was the summer between ninth and tenth grade, and we had become best friends the year before, through a third friend of ours who, we kind of realized we were growing away from. I've got great memories of this guy. Anyway, he had just moved to Missouri and about a month later I came home from journalism camp and found out he'd been killed in a wreck. It was pretty awful. That's been the most significant death in my life, I think.
