sad news

unbelivable, I thought he was doing pretty good. R.I.P. Kelly.
 

I agree with this . . never actually met but . . .


Very sad to hear. My online friend . . . so sad.
 
hey,
i havent signed in for awhile and this is what greets me.

hellfire was a great help to me and i always enjoyed his posts.
the world was a better place with him in it.
**** shame.
 
+1 on Kelly being a big help to me and many other forum members. RIP, Hellfire...
 
..well, at this point I'm pissed..it's been what? 9 days since Kelly's passing..at first I was in shock, as we all were..then I was just grief stricken and sad, very sad, as I'm sure we all were..but now I'm mad..mad at Kelly for leaving us in this manner, mad at myself for not reaching out to him, and not seeing how much pain he was in..I guess all the signs were there?..mad at life in general for not understanding why things can go so bad when they seemingly don't have to..but out of this profound sadness of this situation and the anger I'm feeling, I promise myself I will try to bring more positive days to my life and all that I encounter..each and every day..what else can I do?..or any of us at this point..this has undoubtedly deeply affected us all..so even though it's too late and pointless at this point to say, I'll say something now I should have said earlier when maybe it would have counted..I love you Kelly..not because we were close friends or knew each other really well..hell, I hardly even knew you at all..but simply because we should all feel that way towards each other in life..I will try to use your passing to remind me of this..each and every day..your life is over my friend, but it was not lived in vain..you positively affected many many people in your too few years..of that, I'm certain..your pain was deep, but now it's over..rest in peace my friend..I will not forget you..
 

my sentiments excatly, well stated my friend!!!!
 
..no, and I didn't think to ask if there was going to be any..I can tell you that the services was held at their house, his body was cremated, and his burial urn, along with some flowers was there too.....so that was probably it..

DOES ANYONE BESIDES ME FIND THIS A LITTLE ODD? SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE MADE A QUICK DECISION AN WE AS HIS FAMILY NEVER EVEN GOT TO PAY OUR RESPECTS? I MISS HIM ALREADY, HE ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH, OR COME UP WITH SOMETHING OFF THE WALL ABOUT OUR FORUMS,....I HOPE HE IS AT PEACE AN I HOPE THE ONES THAT DROVE HIM TO IT WITHOUT GETTING HIM HELP, SUFFER EVERY DAY FOR WHAT THEY DROVE HIM TO!!!!! JUST MY OPINION, DONT REALLY CARE IF ANYONE ELSE LIKES IT OR NOT, I HAVE BEEN ONE BREATH AWAY FROM SUCIDE MYSELF, SO I KNOW THERE IS REASON AN SOMETIMES HELP! ...R.I.P. KELLY!!!!!
 
What a **** shame, I haven't been on in a while, this was the first post up.
 
Hellraiser...I understand how you feel...but in the overall scheme of things...we probably didn't really matter at all during these arrangements. His wife probably had her reasons for getting this "out of the way" and she may have only had an indication that he had a lot of friends on this board when Budman posted (#142 of this thread) and mentioned it to her when he went to what little ceremony there was.

She will have to live with her part in Hellfire's taking his own life (and she does play a big part in this but remember being unemployed, unable to get back his old job...he did have a lot that he was fighing against)...and she may not be the cold hearted woman we have come to picture her as...then again she may be. Remember it was only a short while ago (while I was still in Afghanistan) that he told us about their last fling to Mexico to enjoy a vacation together...after that it apparently quickly unraveled as far as their marriage went and that trip may have been a last attempt to salvage their relationship
.
But, again, I doubt we were much in her thoughts when the arrangements were being made...we were probably fortunate that Izzo2 came upon the situation as he did or we may still not have known that Hellfire was no longer with us...think about that one.
