I just wanted to say how much this shocked me when I found this out last week. I remember all the fun times when we were like 10, watching celebrity wrestling LOL... and playing with becca when your aunt laura lived in cambridge or when you and ale would taunt me when your mom would curl my hair. :) looking back at those moments and thinking how the heck we didn't stay in touch. you were a brave soul brian... a good hearted man. you would not think twice to do for others. That is the brian I remember. we all miss you!!! And this is something that will make my heart heavy. I am so sorry for the Foley family and Arredondo family's loss. we truly lost a great person. He's smiling down on all of us and I find peace in knowing that

I lost my brother January 14th. I'm still so lost and broken. I know Jesus has all his children tight in his arms. There are times I just don't care about life, I lost my mother 6 months ago. Yet when I think I have no fight left, I turn to my children and my brothers children and know why I must keep going. I pray w all my heart for each of you. I'm so so sorry for your pain. My brother would have been 31 next month. I believe we need to come together to bring this to a national thing. Depression is serious, and we need to fight for the ones contemplating such a sad act. I miss my brother w everything I have and just don't know How to move forward. Prayers out to each of you.

I certainly can understand the terrible grief you must be suffering and the terrible depression your son suffered. My family has also had to deal with a suicide. My brother was 14 yrs old when he hung himself in 1972. The pain lessens, but doesn't completely go away. I am so happy that you are sharing this story with everyone. It will open eyes and perhaps save a life or two. May God's richest blessings be yours,

My Heart breaks for you. My Twin brother committed suicide. Too many people in such a dark place. It is good that people are at least beginning to talk about suicide instead of pushing it under the carpet because so many look upon it as an easy way out or feel shameful because of the stigma or religious beliefs.I cannot imagine taking your own life as being easy. Depression is like a cancer. If not treated properly or caught in time the end result is still the same. Death. Know that you are not alone and there are many of us (too many) who feel your pain.

I'm deeply sorry for your loss but want to thank you for sharing this with us. As difficult as this is, it is important for others strugging to know they are not alone and help is available. May our Heavenly Father continue to surround you with His love, peace and comfort. We must keep reaching out to those in need, so true that a smile hides much.

Today is Feb 17, 2012, and I am here in Omaha, NE reading Brian's Obituary. First, I extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family over the loss of your son. I cannot imagine the pain and grief you are experiencing with Brian's death while still grieving the death of your Soldier 's death too. However, I do know the pain and grief of loosing a husband, sister and a Mother. I too, am a mother of a son who is 18 now. But, I thank God that you are sharing your grief with me and others. Your openess will surely help many others, and maybe save another child. I pray that the comforting arms of our Lord and Savior, that are ever present and wrapped around you infinitely, be a source of strength and give you peace. Thank you for extending your grief to help some one else. Friendship divides our grief and doubles our joy.
Respectfully,
Annette

On Nov.2, 1965 my father died by his own hand on his 43rd birthday.
He was a civil service worker, a Baptist preacher and a very depressed man-with the only treatment at the time electric shock "therapy". I am now 57 and had many years to think about that day when I was only 10 years old ... and have come to this conclusion-suicide may be delayed but once they make up their minds -most times it cannot be prevented. We were left no note and will probably never really know in this life why he picked up that 22 rifle... but I will leave you with this one thought -Samson also committed suicide & he is mentioned in the book of Hebrews11:32 in God's Hall of the Faithful. Thank you so much for sharing your story if it saves one person's family this agony -it will be worth it-It took a lot of courage as I well know.to share this painful experience. May God Bless you.

God Bless you all and know that we are praying for you all in the time of your loss. I know there are no words to express the loss that you must be experiencing. I just wish to encourgage you that God is a awesome God. I do believe even in this situation that if we call on the name of Jesus , even in the last seconds we are saved. Both your sons were and are solidiers in the army of the Lord. Hold on to each other and God's unchanging hand. He will get you through anything if we trust him at his word. This life is not an easy one. Its the promise on the other side that we must await for, eternal life. With my deepest sympathy.

I am so sorry to hear another life has been taken in this way. I did not know your son, however when I was 18 my boyfriend took his own life. He was only 19 years old. It has been 7 years now and the hole is still there. We will never know why and we miss him everyday. One thing that has helped me is knowing that there are other people who have experianced this kind of heart breaking loss too. I started going to a suicide support group shortly after Devin's death. It is located in Daytona Beach Fl and is called the ASSURE group. If you need any further information, or just someone to talk to please feel free to email me at [email protected].

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine living through this twice. We lost out oldest to suicide June 12, 2008. I have kept his guest book on here as well. The Parents of Suicides group on Yahoo has been very supportive and informative. I keep a picture of my son on my desk and share his story whenever I can. Thank you for sharing your son's story..again, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of both Alex and Brian. Losing one son is so horrible, I know, as my son Jeremy took his own life on January 13, 2006. He was my only son. I can't imagine losing TWO sons. May God Bless you and keep you safe!!!

February 16, 2012
I am so very sorry for your loss. Maybe with enlightenment and exposure, we can find a way to take depression out of the darkness, that this terrible disease produces. I lost my husband, to suicide, after watching him 'fight' with all of his strength and the best that the medical profession could provide. Obviously it was not enough. By your courage you may awaken both our society and the health care industry, that more work needs to be done. May God bless all of you.

February 16, 2012
I am so sorry for your loss...I too lost my first husband to suicide; it was the 70"s and getting help was difficult. NO ONE wanted to discuss mental illness. I give you credit for sharing your story, I have shared mine for many years in hope of helping someone realize it is OK to talk about!
My deepest condolences..

My very sincere condolences to the family; I did not know your son, but the story of battling depression hits home ..... I am also a mother of 3 sons, and in 2001 lost the oldest to a car accident; his youngest brother, 16 at the time, also has a similar battle with depression, substance abuse, trouble with the law & acting out, due to the loss of his big brother. It is only recently, that my youngest, now 27, has a new found zest for life; it was a very long battle ....... I truly admire your courage and conviction in telling your story .... May your beautiful son rest in peace

I do not know your son, but I know the death of a loved one can give you great pain. I am so sorry for your loss. I only hope that by your putting this out for others to read, that it will save someone else from ending their life. My Prayers are with you to help on your healing.
February 16, 2012
My hearfelt condolences for the loss of both Alex and Brian. Our help comes from the Lord our God who loves us with an everlasting LOVE!!! For 18 months I was suicidal, but unwilling to take my own life. My friend Jonathan who was suffering from dementia came back into my life by the Grace of God and saved my life some 15 years ago at age 55. When all hope seems gone, our thoughts turn away from life and we become distant and disconnected and turn away from the help we so desperately need.
May the peace, love and joy of GOD be with Alex and Brian and with you his loving family, eternally.

I cannot even begin to imagine your pain and sorrow at this place and time. But I truly admire all you are doing to prevent another suicide and to prevent another family from experiencing the pain.

What a sad ending, to a beautiful heart and boy. I wish he could have received help. I have sons close to his age, and they have depression, and do not want help, no matter how hard I try. I hope he is in Heaven and not in any pain and is reunited with his brother.
February 16, 2012
I did not know Brian, my husband commited suicide this past September 2011. He had a heart of gold. I can not tell you how sorry I am that he was in that much pain and now you are all in so much pain. Go to a support group if you can. Know that you have many fond memories of him in your heart. His eyes say that he was a lovely person. Society needs to do more for those with emotional and mental illness. God Bless. Jane Adamczyk McHenry, IL

Even though I do not know Brian. I feel a connection to him. I am so sorry for your loss. Just by looking at his eyes he was a good boy. We had two suicides in our family in the same year, It is hard to understand. I have been there because I also tried to commit suicide. I almost did but they saved me. I can tell you that it is done becuse they want to not feel the pain any longer. They feel there is no way out. When they do try to commit suicide or are successful they have a sense of relief. I hope your family is coping it takes a long time to heal But know that he is in your hearts and I am sure his spirit is with you. Just look at his smile and remember how he glowed. God Bless All of You

My sincere condolences to the family of Brian Luis Arredondo. I had 2 children that attempted suicide and luckily we were able to save them. I never would have thought it could have happened to us but it did. Everyone, all parents, need to be aware of warning signs and being able to act even in the face of denial. I applaud the family for coming forward with their story because this is a grief no one should ever have to experience. My heart goes out to you.
February 16, 2012
I am so sorry for your loss.I too also lost my two children.My daughters didn't die from taking their own lives.I know your your pain just from loosing your 2 sons.I wish I could say in time it will get better.For you it may but for me it hasn't.My prayers are with you.

Dearest Melida and Carlos, My heart fills with sorrow when I think of this beautiful young man with so much promise, no longer being among us. My heart is heavy as I think of you, and his mother, trying to comprehend this loss. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I do understand many of these emotions, as I am a suicidal depressive, who for mny years could hide my pain behind a smile, so not even my closest friends knew.I am on medication every day and will be for the rest of my life. Whatever Brian's reasons, his pain was too great for him to bear, but no one could see iwhat was coming. So very, very sorry. With love, Rayleen

Dear Sweet Brian, you have been called home. God has brought you to a better place. You will be missed here so very much by so many people. I pray for those who are hurt so bad by your passing knowing you are at peace will bring them some rest here until you can be together again. I see you and Alex smiling together at peace, lots of laughter as boys being in the back of your dads truck bouncing around. You both were loved so very much. I pray for peace here with us and you both there. Let Love fill you there and us here... this I pray.
My Dear Friends Carlos and Melida, its very hard to say the words that I feel in my heart. I love you both so much. God has a way of doing things. It's very hard to understand. All I can do is pray... All I know is in the end all will be revealed.
