This is sad news. RIP Hellfire.

This can't be friggin' true! I really like this guy. **** near more than most. ****, miserable lot if true. Why do all the truly good guys end up dead before their time? And the a-holes live forever??????? ****....I'm at a loss and angry as hell to boot. THIS SHOULD NOT BE!

HF was responsible for getting me back on this forum, for good or ill, with his PMs. If not for him I'd not have come back. ****e, this is extremely bad news. A harpy wife close to ditching him, loss of income/job and concomitant self respect, no prospects, loss of his beloved bike...and the general humiliation of feeling adrift and in terminal freefall. His loss is great. His was a voice of reason and expertise. **** it all...now I regret posting about my son-in law's brother who fell to his grisly death a few years back. Perhaps this resonated. I feel like I've been kicked in the gut by a mule.

Be well my cyber-friend...wherever you might be, wish I could have bought you a beer and let you park your RV on my New Mexico land.

This is not right, we all know he had hard stuff to get through but we missed the signs that he needed help. I could tell he had a big hart by his posts and felt he was a brother. It is a shame that some people mistake kindness for weakness and take advantage of it. REST IN PEACE KELLY you will be sadly missed.

I have found that through both personal and professional experience that the ones that are serious about it won't give any real indication that is what they are going to do. I just hope he has now found peace and comfort.

..I get the local Delaware paper (the News Journal)..it's not in there today..if and when it is, I'll post it..

Please do.

I don't normally cultivate a lot of friends, but occasionally...rarely...I encounter someone I sense to be genuine: the real deal. THIS I felt when reading Kelly's words. He had heart and soul and grit. He was spot on with his political/cultural observations and few had deeper knowledge of the Rocket. I enjoyed his posts, his audacity, his clarity, his acid wit. His "take" on most issues closely mirrors my own. I respected and felt for this guy: he was in a crushing shyte storm without a shield and ultimately it bore him to earth. I almost take this loss personally. He really was like a brother of sorts. Life is precious and the paths we take have consequences: chose well your paths my brothers and sisters of the road.

Let us all raise a toast to this man tonight. Ciao My Friend, travel well.

Wow.. This is tough to hear.. I've enjoyed several conversations with Hellfire. He's someone I would have liked to have met at one of the RAA's sometime.. Rainman did post an appropriate tribute.

It's tough to hear because my 15 yr old son almost succeeded at this last Tuesday.. He was in ICU for 2 days and is at a treatment center now. He may get to come home this coming Thursday. We've got to visit him a couple of times and he is seeming much better and much more open.. Scary to know he could be gone..

I'm hoping the 2012 thing is real, I should be out of money by then and it saves me from putting the gun in my own mouth.

This was his own post from 4/14/11 where Kelley made reference to the portended Mayan Calendar Apocalypse projected for 2012. There were other not-so-veiled, on-line references he had made to his contemplation of suicide, so this news does not come as a surprise to me, but it is a shock, nonetheless.
