Prayers Needed

[chevysoldier]

I had just gotten home and got a phone call from a high school friend. Seems a buddy from HS took his own life. I lost touch with him after school until about a year ago. We talked about getting together and never did. I regret this so very much now. He served in the United States Airforce and was one hell of a stand-up guy. Please keep him and his family in your prayers if you are the praying type. I'm becoming more torn up inside as this is sinking in. RIP Ross, I will miss you so much.

Wow man. Prayers for comfort going out for you, his family, and his other friends.

[CattaniAFJ]

Sorry to hear. RIP. Godspeed.

[chevysoldier]

Thanks guys. I'm not sure if I am more sad he is gone or more pissed off he did it himself. It's also bothering me somewhat because I just got back from shooting today.......

I know exactly how you feel, my best friend Greg was taken before we got a chance to get together after a long time... I know your pain, and as always keep you in my thoughts... I let it be my lesson to never hesitate telling people I am close with how I feel about them...

Thats crazy chevy that you knew him, what a small world. Ross was in my unit at the 87th. He was a great guy and I never imagined him doing that to himself. We all knew something was going on when the base commander came in with the Chaplin. This news was hard on our unit over the weekend. Also being in the Air Force there are SOO many resources available to get help and thats what I'm mad about. He didnt realize how many lives he affected and only if he knew that maybe this wouldnt of happened.

No shit, small world. I realized about halfway to work, riding the bike today probably wasn't the best of ideas. PM Sent.

Sorry for your loss.

[chevysoldier]

In case there is anyone else on here that knew him, his name was Ross Blackburn. A memorial is being planned for this week, possibly Friday. If someone did know him, PM me and I will send details as I get them.

What was his job in the AF?

[mhallam85]

What was his job in the AF?

His job was Air Transportation.

[chevysoldier]

I'm really not sure. He was with the 87th Aerial Port out of WPAB. Mhallam85 would probably know since he served with him.

Edit: I see Matt already answered it.

[alab32]

His job was Air Transportation.

Hmmm... I didnt know any of them.
