Marching Band member just died

A guy in my band died last night and im really upset, i wasnt even that close to him,but i love everybody in band. Its just so fucked up because i just saw him thursday,moving and talking,and now he's gone.He was just 17.

 

I've had those things happen to me, too. In fact, three or four times... It's just startling. I was the last person to talk to one of them. I'm still a little shaken by them if someone mentions it.

 

Death at such a young age, how does that happen?

 

I know. Apparently he was in the back of a pick up truck, and the driver lost control of the wheel, then he flipped out and hit his head. Another guy who i knew a little better hurt his back and has to learn how to walk again. This marching season is going to suck. Im probably going to cry at school tomorrow. God, why does shit like that have to happen?

 

i hope your ok dude huggs huggs

 

i can relate, ive had actual friends, well... an actual friend die, and have almost died myself... hope you feel better about when you wake up

 

death blows

 

Thanks you guys. Every ones gonna be a reck at band. Its just so hard to believe.

 

This must be Philosophy 101.

 

Death blows and sometimes life sucks... can't live with it, can't live without it... then sometimes you die and can't live at all.

 

karma or something no doubt. and everyone dies sooner or later, you can't avoid it, so try not to be too distressed over it, especially as you didn't really know him.

 

I didn't know my cosin as well as i would have liked , but when he was murdered a few months ago i was still very sad, he was 16.

 

Man that's shit , knowing that somebody you know got murdered must be horrible ... I am quite lucky right now, no one of my friends or relatives got killed or murdered ... I hope my luck will continue ..

 

I did know him, but he wasnt my bestest friend in the whole wide world or anything. Im sad whenever anyone dies. I love everybody in band, everybodys messed up about the whole thing.

 

sad to say, its just the start, the longer you live, the more people you will know that will die. I can remember being about 14 or 15 and thinking about how I hadn't known a single person who had died, including grandparents etc., maybe 5 years later I had known plenty...many through traffic accidents...let his death be a warning
