I just want his story to be a little different. Me and him had been close friends for years. We had pretty much every class together through high school, spent a ton of time together before he left for the military. He was an amazing guy and it's just incredibly sad to know that he's gone from something so stupid. Here's a few pictures of us. Sadly most of them are from 2012 or so, but these are some of the fondest memories I have with him.

Damn man, sorry to hear this. Wish I knew what to say.

That's alright. It's a terrible thing to happen and there's not a lot to say. I appreciate the support. 

Sorry to hear this, that's hard to deal with. 

Sorry you lost your close friend, Nick.

Nick,

 

I also am truly sorry to hear about your loss.  There really aren't words that any of us can say I'm sure but I hope you know that if you need to talk or vent that any and all of us are here for you.

 

*gives you a huge hug*

Aw Nick. I'm so sorry. IF you need someone, we're all here

Sorry to hear about your loss Nick. Hang in there.

Thanks guys. Wake and funeral are on Sunday and Monday. He's getting the whole spiel. Twenty one gun salute, all that. 

Remember, it's totally okay to cry

This isn't the first close friend I've lost unexpectedly, unfortunately. There are easy days and hard days. I've had my fair share of tears since I've learned of this.
