Friend blew himself away.
I got a call yesterday that a guy I knew put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. He wasn't really a friend, more like a friend of some friends. An acquaintance if you will. I wasn't too fond of his cocky attitude and he was a bit obnoxious but it was nothing personal. Most of our friends have moved out of town or out of state so I had to make a bunch of phone calls to let them know the bad news. The weird thing is, this guy was a pallbearer with me last year and helped me carry another friends coffin. The funeral is Sunday and I don't know if I should go. I really don't need another funeral but maybe I should go out of respect. I feel bad because he had two kids but he really ran his life into the ground so it's hard to have any sympathy for him. I mean I don't know exactly why he did what he did but the guy had everything going for him so I don't understand it. He was messed up with a lot of shady people and doing drugs so I guess he just spiraled out of control. Any thoughts?

Yeah, I guess I'll go, but this is gonna suck. I'm still dealing with my other bro dying last year. It's going to be all the same people at this one. Like dejavu. You know what I'm saying?

Well I'm pretty sure if it was the other way around he wouldn't be at my funeral. We had mutual friends and that was it. We hung out a few times and I worked on his car once. I didn't even know his family. If I were to go it would be out of respect to my personal friends. But if they don't come back to town to go, should I go?

Like it was stated above, if someone took the time to tell you, I'd pay some respects. I hate funerals as well, been to way too many of them and they are never easy. Especially if it was a friend or relative.
good luck

I'd go just to pay respects...some day if you're in the position that there is a funeral for a loved on(God forbid), then you will appreciate everyone that comes for your family.

Most selfish thing you can do. Also the saddest thing. Suicide is wrong.
