It Ended Up Not Well

I could credit a number of people in my youth that have helped me grow as a person and most of them have ended up doing some cool things. But one in particular didn't seem to have that same result, but still remained a core memory in my life. That dude that you see second to the left is name Robert Zane.





From my understanding "Robbie" was this religious extremist who leaned right winged heavily. Examples of texts above would be streams of him venting his experiences and crazy viewpoints of what things should be like. He also was involved in some of the proud boy rallies that used to be held in Tower Theatre in Fresno, CA when it used to be ran by religious freaks.

But this post in particular mentions our friend Nick. On the image above Nick is right next to me while Tyler is laying on his legs. I got to know Nick from Colby, middle of image, who used to just sit on my front porch in-between classes and hang with a smoke. He was heavily involved in Robbie, Tyler and Colby's life at the time. It wasn't until Nick had passed away in a car accident that Robbie seemed to fade away from the group (at least in my viewpoint).

I'm making this post because recently Colby told me Robbie had passed away due to suicide. I can't help, but see this screenshot and imagine how one specific event ruined his life. And as someone who has faced loss numerous amount of times I've learned to collect those feelings and channel them towards positive things. But then again I've been lucky to have the support that I have. And it seems Robbie didn't have the same.

Robbie,
Wherever you are I hope you had found peace. And if your friend is still up there somewhere I hope you see him and tell him you missed him the most. You can finally stop hurting


Colby thank you for letting me know. I appreciate you and yes I do miss you too man. I just want to say that I've so proud of you and what you've done. You've been a great dude to me and your loved ones and you continue to do so.
