EDIT: Obituary here: http://www.bellinghamherald.com/213/story/43418.html

I know there are threads floating around, but I need to make a post also.

In short, Gage (lowbudgettarga) passed away December 1st, 2006. I found him a few days later. His note said that he loved all his friends and family. He also wanted me to build his 91 Turbo ("Ron Burgandy"). I will be building it and fulfilling his last wishes. There will be a service for him this Friday, December 8, 2006 at 12 Noon at the Squalicum Boat House in Bellingham, WA. If you would like to attend, please call me at 360-223-6734 and I can tell you how to get here. Please wish Robin and Leslie Yates, family and friends, all the best in this time of sorrow.

Thank you,

EDIT: I also forgot to add, the service is very very casual. Dress as if you were going to be around Gage.

P.S. Mods, if we could get a sticky for a few weeks, that would be great.

My prayers go out to the family and friends, Im sure as many others will say I disagree with taking your own life, but thats for another day. Im sorry for your loss.

 

[supra90turbo]

oh man... i can't believe that something could be so bad that you'd have to take your own life.
you said he seemed so carefree.... such a shame.

all the best to those of you who were directly associated with him. i don't do the prayer thing, but i'm still saddened by this nonetheless. be strong, guys.

Thread stuck...

First: my sincere prayers go out to his family, friends and to him... Its a great loss when someone passes, especially so young...

Second: as much as I dont think taking your life is the solution to anything, as bad as I think it is, if ONE person says ANYTHING rude or mean or insulting about this poor kid making this ultimate decision, you will be banned... And Im NOT kidding... Its a SAD SAD day and so many hearts are broken and saddened by his decision and his loss, but the LAST thing we need is someone being cold hearted and throwing something rude out there... So keep it civil, keep it heart felt... If you have something negative to say, say it to yourself away from this thread... No warnings, because this is it...

Fuck Im just just stunned, Im seriously finding it hard to type this right now... Im staring at the screen, at my keys, heart pounding, just truly saddened man... All i can say is Im sorry, and let them know that there is alot of love and prayers being said for Gage, and if there is anything that you need or they need and we can help, you know we're here...

This isn't SF. I don't think anyone here is that callus.

Depression is a crazy disease, and something people don't understand.

 

[da89soup]

Its a tragedy and he will be missed. His memory will live on!!!

 

[ChadMKIII]

I don't think I've ever talked to him on here, and certainly not real life, but I'm sorry to hear this. My prayers go out to his family.

 

[SupaMan]

never talked to him didnt really know him but he sounds like he was a cool guy.


RIP

I too am deply saddened by this event. My Prayers go out to those he left behind. I don't remember talking directly to him, but his name is definitely a recognized part of this community. As Jake said, it is hard for me to type without stopping to be sure I'm doing it right.

 

[Mk3Suprakid]

My condolences go out to his family, they will be in my prayers... R.I.P

 

[JesseH]

sorry for your loss....:icon_frow

 

[89turbotoy]

although i did'nt know Gage i would still like to exspess my deepest condolences to his family and freinds. i will pray for them as well as Gage.

 

[suprahero]

It's just hard to imagine anything that heavy being on a young mans heart or mind that would cause him to kill himself. I will pray that he makes it to heaven and pray for his family and friends to be strong during this unbearable event..........

you'd be suprised... but like I said, its just a friendly warning... I know this sect of the community has more common sense than to say something so stupid in such a tragic moment, however, I feel strongly enough about this situation to deem the warning necessary, I hope you understand, you all understand, I would do the same for any of you, this is my family...

 

[suprarx7nut]

Sad news. A good friend of mine has depression and its a tough thing to deal with. Of course my condolences to the family. Anyone out there dealing with depression, get help, talk it out with friends/family, you'd be suprised how much people care. I dont think many that have commented in this thread even knew Gage, but look at the amount of responses. Just shows a piece of the good in humanity.

R.I.P. Gage

It's more sad that it's required.

God bless Gage and imagine the car he's driving now.

This thread makes me want to cry and I never knew the man. I hope everyone that knew him are blessed with realizing he's in a better place and they're better for knowing him.

RIP, Gage,
Nick
