lost a friend recently...

I too have lost a friend recently. I am only in high school right now and so were the kids that died. it happened January 21st, they were out late driving on the frozen lake, when suddenly there car slipped in a large unfrozen hole in the lake. it happened to be one of the coldest nights of the year so far, a windchill of -25. he and his girlfriend were together in the car. he helped her out of the freezing lake onto the ice before he drowned. she had by far a much worse death. she walked/crawled across the lake for 200 yards towards shore with only 100 left to go. she froze to death before reaching the safety of a close by lakeshore home. i saw him the afternoon before he passed away, running around the halls with his banjo he recently got by trading in a saxophone. they had been going out for slightly over a year.


R.I.P. Evan Wilson, keep on strumming your banjo, you hardly knew how to play, now you have eternity to practice...
R.I.P. Jackie Fricke you and Evan can be together forever...

im so sorry i got goose bumps!!!

that is some crazy shit..im sorry for your loss

i lost a good buddy of mine on jan9 2003...im still sad and its hard bro


take care..and be strong

god bless them and their families who are struggling right now

If I can get all of us to agree on something. I pose to dedicate Eyal Barkan - Last Man In The Universe to our lost ones. So that Swamper can maybe re-post it for that reason. I choose this song mainly because of the lyrics. If you agree with me, can you please reply with just a yes or just something that lets everyone know.

Thank you.

OMG that is horrible. I lost a friend january first 2002, he tried to swim across a lake on New Years day and didn't make it.

horrible, horrible horrible, i mourn the loss of your friends.

let it be a lesson to us all, life is precious, live each day to the fullest.

yes, it is.

Here is a poem i wrote the day after. I don't mean to detract from the traggic loss above, but i thought that reading this might help imprt2nr deal with his loss. writing the poem helped me at the time. now, a year after his death, i still cry when i read it, and miss him so much:


For Will

I heard the news
sitting in my office chair
where you once stood
not 2 feet from me

I was lost
I didn't know how to feel
I've never grieved in my life, I don't know how
I guess it will be the last lesson you teach me

but it won't be the first
you taught me many lessons brother
in the short time I knew you

you taught me how to let my inner light shine for everyone to see
you showed me what true human kindness is
you inspired me to be the person I am

you may have passed on into the next life
but your legacy remains here with us
I can feel you with me still

I went home that night
still unsure of what to feel
I picked up your firestaff
felt the weight of it in my hand
and I knew what I had to do

I walked outside, and I knelt in the snow
I unwrapped your staff, it took a long time
I was never as good at it as you were

I stayed on my knees in the snow,
until my they hurt from the cold
until they grew numb
and until they started hurting again

We assembled your staff solemnly
We soaked it in fuel,
We held it over a candle to light it
it was never easy with that staff
you know that

I stood there hoping it would light
watching the stubborn flame lick the cold metal

Then, I remembered another lesson you had taught me
the power of the mind, and how to channel my energy
I Willed the flames to grow, to engulf the wicks
Then I watched my visualization come to life before my eyes

I felt you then
I felt you feeling what I was doing
and smiling that big smile of yours

Soon your staff was ablaze
I watched as it was spun, with power, with grace
and when it went out, I solemnly dipped it again
for it was my turn now.

I took ahold of it, and I could feel it humming with your power
It wanted to move, to trace beautiful circles through the air

I took off my jacket and shirt, and threw them aside
tonite, I wanted to be cold.

I took your staff, and I danced my heart out.
dipping and swirling and twisting,
making tracks in the snow, and through the air.

your staff is heavy, it dragged my body around as I spun it
I felt you then too. helping me.
I felt you dragging me around, helping me complete the rotations

I spun it above my head, as you had done so well.
I spun it between my legs, like you showed me how to.

I had been waiting to do that trick you taught me, in the snow
The one between the legs, where the staff just skims the ground
It was beautiful, I saw your face in the dancing reflections in the snow.
I will think of you every time I do that trick brother.
I will never forget you.

and when I was done, your wicks finally extinguished, my body limp from exhaustion
I dropped your staff to the ground from which it came

and I fell backwards into the snow
lying there, staring up into the sky
I took deep breaths, and told myself I wasn't cold
I wanted to feel what you felt

I wanted to know what it felt like to have my mortal body freeze
While my soul burned on in hot defiance of the elements
I layed there and felt the cold penetrate me,
felt my back go numb, my shoulder muscles cramp
and I feel that I know, at least a little
how you felt that fateful day in the lake.

Will, you were my friend and my brother
I know that you died unafraid of the next life
I know that you were at peace with yourself and god
I know you are still with us, in our hearts, and in our memorys

your legacy will live on.
and tonite, we will dance again for you.

Rest in Peace brother.

thanks for your support guys, it hurts, im just so shocked still. evan was only 16 and jackie was 17. so young... they can't experience life like it is supposed to be now. JohnSmith, that poem is very touching, i feel your pain to, i feel for you people that have lost a friend or loved one. lets enjoy life to its fullest, you never now when it might end.

Those Kids were My age...

I wish things like this would never happen, especially not to two young individuals Who were most likely wonderful people with lots of love in their lives. The thought of that couple being me and my girl makes me shudder

I'm so sorry for you, and the many other lives these two have touched. I hope their next life has a happier ending

OMG, that's so terrible...

at least they can rest together with the angels now

sorry to hear that...

Im really sorry to hear that. It's so tragic how lives can suddently come to an end. We don't realize what we have until we lose it.

Thats terrible and your mates a hero for putting his girlfriend first.

RIP
But I have one question:-

What the hell were they doing DRIVING on a FROZEN lake?????

i agree with both parts of that post completely. I feel sorry for them, but then again, i was wondering what they were doing on the lake in the first place.

no one really knows what they were doing on the lake. but i heard he was over at her house before they went out, and her parents tried to stop them from going but they went anyways. the parents didnt know what happened to them throughout the night and were scared the whole time. although by morning they realized the horrible truth. a construction worker going to work on a house by the shore looked out at the lake and saw something. he went to find out what it was, he found jackie's frozen body. god its so horrible how she died. but at least he died thinking he saved her life...

um driving on a lake with ONLY a windchill of 32 = NOT VERY SMART
he shouldn't of been allowed to have babies

When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.

Fucking ediot....

BTW, sorry to hear about your loss dude. A few years back my cousin took his own life, although i wasn't very close to him i still feel so sad knowing he died so depressed. If there is a heaven and i sure as hell hope there is, i know the women and man you told us about in that story would have some feeling of satisfaction knowing they both went to those lengths to save each other.

Cheers.
