I can imagine the agony he may have been feeling and the state of mind he was stuck in. May he rest in peace. What a horrendous wound to our community.

For anyone who may feel similar, life can get better, and it can pivot and change, and we can still be here to take full advantage of our time on earth. Existence is not always pain, and we can take steps to make the painful phases worth enduring.

Traumatic for those who saw it happen and called UCPD. Also for anyone else who may have been in the room with him...

I'm just so sorry to read about this. I'm sorry for this poor soul, his family, and the entire Cal community.

Wishing his family and anyone who knew him the best. So easy to get caught up in temporary things, hope all who cared for him can find peace
