That is horrible, a tragedy. Thoughts go out to his family. There is no easy path for any of them.

Dang that's tough. Prayers for the wife and kids.

Praying for this man's salvation and for peace and strength for this man's family and friends. They'll all be hurting. My heart is especially saddened for the children as no child should ever have to experience loss in this way.

Praying for you and your family too wctriumph. May you have peace for what you've experienced and overwhelming compassion for his family. I pray The Lord guides your words and actions to help ease their grief.

Prayers will be needed for his family for strength and peace. I can't imagine what his family is going through. His wife probably will be dealing with major guilt along with grief. So sorry.

Because this all stemmed from an argument, his wife will surely have guilt over this for some time. Arguments happen in any relationship, but they should never be the cause of such despair that a life ends. For this man to take his life, I suspect he was dealing with more demons than just conflict in the marriage.

I pray for peace for his wife, children, friends, and loved ones. Their guilt and loss will be difficult and I pray that there are people in their lives who can stand with them and let them know that they are not alone and that there still is hope. I pray that we all find courage to face reality when it seems like there are no options and we make decisions that limit our future options rather than increase them. Despair is a terribly empty feeling. The thought that no matter what you do, nothing good can happen. I pray that we all are able to fight despair when it come for us.

Hug your kids, your dogs, cats, someone you love, or all of the above. Be safe.

As always, amazingly well stated. Thank you for that!

A terrible tragedy. It is so sad when things get so bad that a person feels this is the only way out. I pray for the family and loved ones for this individual, it has to be devastating.

This happened at about 8:15 AM this morning and i was able to leave to come to work right after 11:30 AM. The deputy took statements from my wife and I and told us that a follow up investigator would contact us later today or tomorrow. I'm doing OK but my wife is still a little freaked out over it and can't settle down. When I leave work I'm going to buy a box of wine and make her drink a couple of glasses to calm down. Knowing her she will be too worried about the wife and kids to sleep tonight. She called some friends and they started a prayer chain going in their churches.

Thank you all for the prayers and kind wishes for the family, they are most appreciated.

What a terrible event. As all the good men here wish: salvation for him and eternal healing for those in his life. And I thought my day was bad because my truck stopped charging..........no more words.

I am doing fine, the wife has calmed down, and when I came home from work there were many vehicles parked up and down the street, all friends and members of the family, including from the ex-wife's family. They have a lot of support and I ask that prayers continue for them.

Thank you all again for your prayers for this family.
