Oct 2025

he was divorced and took it very, very hard. he was such a nice guy. wd do anything for his friends. he rly made an effort to move on. i knew him from the show lounge where i worked. he learned to dance, worked at having fun.
he found a gf, and was getting better. but he figured out she was about to dump him.
he put on his duck hunting suit, laid in the weeds outside her apt, w his rifle. when she came home, at 2 am, he shot her then himself. probably the biggest funeral the town had ever seen. everyone blamed themselves.
this just created a wave of damage.
