One month ago today...

[Mephisto D]

I've waited to make this thread because I wasn't sure if I should or not, but, I figure since this is a month anniversary, I may as well.

A month ago today, one of my friends from youtube, a person by the username of bpblu passed away tragically. I'm not sure what the cause of death was, but from what I've been told there is a possibility that it was from a car crash or something along those lines.

I first learned of this at the beginning of this month, and I felt horrible about it finding out so late. When I did find out though, I made a tribute video right away. I'll post a link to the video here, as well as his obituary.

Leave the Memories Alone (In Memory of bpblu)

Quote:

HARRINGTON - Brian Christopher Poore, of Harrington, died Aug. 11, 2009. He was 21. He was born in Milford to R. Douglas and Lisa W. Poore of Harrington. Brian was a University of Delaware senior, finishing up his last few classes to obtain a bachelor of science degree in elementary education. Brian enjoyed and excelled in school which started in kindergarten. He was serious and passionate with his school work, but at the same time enjoyed being the class clown and making everyone laugh. His love of little children drove him into his career choice of elementary education. In his spare time, Brian enjoyed interacting on the computer, video games, talking with friends, and music. His love of music extended from Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, to Elton John. He will be remembered as a simple and gentle person who never said an unkind word to anybody. He cared about the feelings of others and never made fun of anyone. Everything he did in life, he did with passion and purpose. He was an intense person, if he loved you, he loved you with his whole heart. He looked forward to spending time with his extended family on college breaks. He will be deeply missed by all those whose lives that he had touched. Brian was a member of the St. Stephen's Episcopal Church of Harrington. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather, Ralph Poore. In addition to his parents, he is survived by a sister, Vickie Poore of Harrington; paternal grandmother, Viva Poore of Harrington; maternal grandparents, Nelson and Nancy Wyatt of Magnolia; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Services will be 1:30 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 16, 2009, at Melvin Funeral Home, 15522 S. DuPont Hwy., Harrington, where a visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15. Interment will be in Hollywood Cemetery, Harrington.

Leave the memories alone...goodbye my friend.

He was definitely something alright.

He was one of those people, no matter how horrible your day was, he'd put you in a good mood, and that's what would make himself happy.

If you go to his channel and watch his videos, you'd know what I mean. His goal on youtube was making people happy, and he definitely rose to the challenge. It's just a shame that he died too soon.

Car crashes take away the most deserving people it seems, and its never their fault half of the time.

I really don't know what to say.... I never knew him, but it sounds like he was a great guy.

I decided to take a look at his channel though, did you notice to comment from his father? Seems it wasn't a car accident, he took his own life...

It's not your fault.

I just wish I had a chance to talk to him. I feel like if only I had that chance, things could have been different.

There is nothing you could have done. When a person doesn't want to live anymore there is nothing you can do. That is a hard lesson that I had to learn, but it is an important one.
