RIP, Junior

[HPF Bob]

After I posted the previous comment, someone brought up the cliff incident. I suppose this can piece itself together as someone with depression/suicide bent. And having been through it myself, I know that you reach a point where all you want is peace instead of the inner torment. He left behind three kids which is the worst part.

I suspect he was someone who refused to accept failure and that translated to himself as well. Despite all his accomplishments, he still saw his life as a failure or he would not have chosen this path. Some excessively driven people are like that - they are fueled by fear of failure but, despite all the rewards and accolades, they cannot come to terms with their own humanity, that is we all fail at some level and must learn to accept and forgive ourselves and others.
