[Thirty-One] R.I.P. Destry

So its been a couple of days...

Monday the 27th i went to sonics with mandy, alisa, and david. it was the grand opening for the Sonics on Top of the hill in puyallup

our trip ended up being 4 hours. haha. we got stopped at the intersection outside of sonics for two hours and then in the parking lot for another two. while we were waiting for a stall they passed around samples of drinks.

the food was totally worth it.

i called sam to brag to him about my awesome trip to sonics and he told me it wasnt a good time. i asked him why. because you could hear by something in his voice that something was bothering him... and he told me that Destry Killed himself. Destry is a friend of mine from Port Orchard. he's a year younger than me. i met him over at gibson's and jims about two years ago. fun kid. always laughing. i have a video i'll post later of him climbing all over the shed then jumping off its sad that he felt it was his time to leave. i had a talk with him about Death&Suicide and he told me that it has crossed his mind a couple of times but he always talks his way out of it. i told him that he is strong and will be able to get past this. greater things will happen in the future.

Well he wrote his dad a letter and left it inside. then went out back to the tree and hung himself. his dad found the letter and looked around the house for him, and when he couldnt find him he got into his truck to drive around the neighborhood to see if he was just walking around. His dad goes over to Gibson's and Jim's lets them know about the letter and that he was missing, and so jim and gibson go to Destry's house. Gibson looked around inside while jim went out back. There he saw him hanging there. so Jim cut him down and wouldnt let Gibson see him.

Gibson is Destry's Best friend. they have been best friends since they were five. there is a picture i saw not to long ago of Destry and Gibson them running around filthy in their diapers.

Gibson and Jim are pretty Tore up about all of this.

tomorrow is the wake. its at Destry's house. the same place he hung himself... Alisa and i are going. i have to pay my respects to a good kid.

R.I.P. Destry James Deitchler. I loved you.
