Suicide is always so fucked. Reach out to your friends and loved ones yall. Even if they don't answer or return texts keep doing it. Be relentless. I lost a friend to suicide at the beginning of the year and it is painful as ever every moment. Reach out, tell people you love them. Call them . VISIT THEM. Spend time with them. Remind them what they mean to the universe in the truest of Existential meaning. Live life to the fullest. Rest In Peace to all our fallen. RIP Ryan. Maxwell. Behed. So much loss this year.
Another good article on Ryan: https://newschoolbeer.com/home/2022/5/rip-ex-novo-head-brewer-ryan-buxton I only knew him a little, but I knew he was special. Thanks for saying something, @SFACRKnight
So sad. RIP. The inner demons can be that strong, even if outwardly balanced and nice. Life is hard and then you die. We all need to go on in our bubble.
It's pretty sad to see someone leave so much behind. I feel for his wife and kids. It's a permanent solution to temporary problems man.
