My brother killed himself at age 23. This was December 30th, 1989.
The “why?” still haunts. What drives one to put a 12 gauge shot gun in their mouth in the middle of the night?
My neighbor across the street did it in the garage with carbon monoxide sometime during the day. My wife and his wife pulled into the driveways at the same time. But they didn’t have an automatic garage door opener so this wife parked in the driveway and opened the door by hand. They had only been married about 6 months. He was a recovering alcoholic and gambler. She was a sheltered girl and heavy set and this was probably the first guy she ever really dated. It was pretty sad.
