Finding out people you went to school with have died...

theguywithnousername [Edit] [Delete] 41 replies 10:35, 4 March '08

This is quite sad. A few months ago I found out a guy the year below me in both primary and secondary school had died (I think he died a year or so ago so he'd have been about 23 at the time). He wasn't someone I knew all that well but obviously it was a bit of a shock.

Anyway I've just found out tthat his younger brother (who would have been about 3 years below me) died over the weekend. I don't know the circumstances or anything but how horrible must that be for their parents?

:(

      • Jesus. :(

        What were the circumstances, were they all in an accident or something?

      • two lads from school have kicked the bucket

        one dropped dead whilst playing football - he went to my primary school as well as secondary so that was especially weird. We were never close mates or anything but got on well enough.

        The other threw himself in front of a train a few months back, apparently. To be honest he always acted like a bit of a cunt towards me but I wouldn't have wished that on him, obviously.

      • I'm 35

        and not in touch with many from school, yet I know of three people at least who are already gone...

      • A couple have died who I knew (although not that well)

        Sadly, statisticly that is probably about right.

        One from cancer and one in a housefire. Both desperately sad.

          ....what was he really, etc etc?

          Mozalini @Mr_JDTraynor | 4 Mar '08, 12:25 | X
      • I've known of about

        4 or 5 who've died. Sadly, two were mates at one time or another.

        Suicide has been sadly very popular.

      • a guy in the year below me at school

        • last year

          Someone in my sisters' year went on holiday after exams and got electrocuted by a live wire that had come loose on a street light. He got straight A's in his A levels as well - had been offered place at Oxford.

          When I was in year 11 someone in our year died of cancer and they refused to cancel the school photo even though it clashed with the funeral so there's less than half the year in our photo.

        • my friend's friend

          died in a car crash recently on his way back home after getting his A level results. I know it's not the same but this thread reminded me of this.

          • Halfway through my first year of uni

            Two people, a guy and a girl, were driving back to Lougborough Uni from seeing a Man United game. Had a head-on collision with a lorry on the motorway and pronounced dead at the scene.

            Now, I was properly shocked - they were the first people I've ever know personally to die who weren't over the age of 50. But I wasn't sad, and a few of my friends who knew them better were upset with me for not wanting to come to the rememberance service.

            I didn't know the girl at all, I barely knew the guy, and he was a massive twat in school as well. Suddenly he was a saint. Sure I was shocked at his death, and would never wish it to happen or had happened, but it's a bit much to say I should go to that when I probably wouldn't go to my postman's funeral when I know him just as well.

            Oh, and there was a Facebook group. People left it after a couple of months, which confirmed my original suspicions that it wasn't a really sincere gesture.
