RIP Shane Jacques, one year today.
27th January 2010
It was one year ago today that Shane took his own life.
I remember like it was yesterday getting the news of his death, i immediately felt nauseous and thought i was going to pass out. You hear about these things all the time, but never really put much thought into whether it would ever happen so close to home?
I remember what fun we used to have on vacations, it was a non-stop laugh fest! it seemed to always be over before we wanted it to end? We had so much fun in our little group of friends, going way back to when we all worked at the Zoo together.
Many times i wished i could of helped him more? When he came to me for help i did my best to try and help, but it wasn't enough. The last time i saw him, he was sitting with me in my living room just shooting the shit, i knew something was up? He always appeared at my door when something was going on for him, actually, I went to him as well when i had stuff going on too, so it was mutual. I just wish I could have tied him down if i had known how bad things were for him?
Shane,
I miss you. I tried. I hope you're OK now? I remember how drunk we all got at my wedding, i'm sad there wont be another party that we are at together? Remember that crazy night at Rock Candy in Seattle in '91, so fun! i'm so very sad you are gone, i wish i could go back in time and talk to you one more time?
RIP my dear friend, gone but not forgotten.
