OMG! This is so sad. He was very active recently and I very much enjoyed seeing his posts and pics as well as joking around with him. I know he posted about a health scare recently which turned out better than expected. My condolences to his family. RIP Buttermilk!
Hard to make sense of these kind of things. A truly broken world we live in. Prayers for his family, and thanks for letting us know Jim1978
I didn't know Buttermilk or his family personally but we were both on 2 different forums together and finally put 2 and 2 together. It was announced on the other forum we shared is how I found out about it. I'm going to miss his posts and I know his family will miss him. From his posts it seemed like he and his dad were very close.
I had to for some reason come back to this thread. Kind of at a loss for words and something like this really makes me think. Not knowing him personally but based on what he had posted and the work he would do. This appeared to be a great job that a lot of people could not do on a daily basis , working on what he did is hard and dirty work, he was very good at it and proud of his hard work. I will certainly miss his posts and following along on what he was working on. I guess my thought in general is sort of like " You can't judge a book by it's cover" type thing. You never know just what is going on inside. Truely is a shame that it had to end up like this. Friends and family are in my thoughts.
Well chit. Talked on the phone several times with him over the years. Even ported a half dozen saws for him. Very honest guy plugging his way through life. He sent me a few hats and a lock blade pocket knife from his last employer and I actually wear a hat and use the knife every day
Having had a relative try and not succeed at suicide, this hits hard. There are others here who have lost close relatives - a survivor of suicide, as those close to someone who does succeed are known, carry a huge emotional burden. If anyone wants to chat, feel free to send me a message.
Thanks Jim. Truly don’t know what to say. So many unknowns in todays world. Stay strong. Like above. Reach out.
RIP Buttermilk May his family find peace although they will probably never understand.. I never have..
I gotta wonder if he didn't get the best of news on his medical stuff and didn't share with anyone because he didn't want pity. Just a thought that crossed my mind. Who knows what goes through someone's head to go over the line.
