Especially when he was close to family, financially doing ok...and generally a good dude, humble, no ego. Ive heard explanations of a lost sense of purpose, drinking/drugs, depressed, and the very Trump-like "weak minded" dropped by my dad of course. I think none of those can properly explain it...even though I think a lost sense of purpose is closest.

Sorry for your loss Chico. I think everybody knows somebody who has done it or attempted to, I've had 2 friends who successfully did it. Everybody has their method of dealing with it, personally I don't try to analyze why they did it, just hope they found the peace they seek. Moreso feel bad for the family they left behind, one of my buddies left behind a wife and two kids that were absolutely stunned by it. Looking for blame doesn't solve anything and I'm not sure trying to figure what you could've done better helps either because it's hard to answer that question.
