My good friend is saying goodbye to this world today. He had a bicycle accident which left him brain dead. They’re harvesting his organs right now, 8 PM mountain time, and his family is saying goodbye to him. He was only 38 Yrs old! I really have nobody to share this with.

Just awful. Sorry to hear and all are in my prayers. It’s especially tough to feel you have nobody to share with. Well, you have a big group here. And the Big Guy upstairs. Hope it helps.
Thanks I know my family is here, and it helps me to find comfort in knowing I can share it with all of you. We didn’t have many mutual friends, and it was an odd friendship. But he was my friend and I did love him, and it’s sad that his family has to say goodbye.
In February of last year. I learned of a friend that had passed the previous fall. It was a similar situation in that no one in my circle knew him except a couple that had met him once or twice for a few minutes. His only family was a brother in Nova Scotia. I did not realize how hard it is to mourn alone, so my heart goes out to you. I am not on FB much these days, but I wrote my own eulogy to him and it helped. Post it here - I am sure your fellow pedes would love to learn more about this soul that has passed.
Take care of yourself.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. What I did was I sent him one last final text message. I know who’s phone is still working, and I’m sure his family will see the message you know how loved he was. It’s very personal though and I don’t want to post it here. However that is a great idea, and I felt the one last text message to him would be meaningful to me and him, because I know he will get the message in due time.
I still have every text my sister and I sent. Still haven't deleted her contact from my phone and it's been seven years this coming December. It is a comfort having that connection even though I know she is in Heaven. May your friend rest peacefully in the Lord's loving arms. May you and his family find the comfort you need in the Agape of Yeshua.
Wow that is awesome. I kept my husbands phone number for over 10 years, after the 10 years I finally turned it off. It was very difficult to do it. God bless you have a great day.
If he knows Jesus he’s better off than the rest of us. We may suffer loss here but the departed that are with Jesus are blessed beyond our comprehension. Dare I say a celebration is in order.
Agreed! The people who go early to me, get the benefit of not having to live in this world.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I pray all those involved find comfort.
Thanks so much. I just realized it’s just hitting me. So sad.
I pray that this tragedy brings all involved closer to God† and more trusting in Him†. God† wants His† children to be with Him† forever and will do what He† can for this to happen. This is His† will and prayers will help. Lift this up to God† and feel His† peace which surpasses ALL understanding. Don't ask why is this happening, but ask what can I learn from this that will glorify Him†. Peace and God† bless.
I agree with you on this. My daughter has finally contacted our family for the first time in almost a year. This situation, is actually bringing us closer. She was a closer friend to him than I was. She will be going to the funeral in Utah, and will be going to a church for the services. Probably the first time she’s been into a church for years. I just pray that God will reach her while she is there, and that she will return it to her Christian upbringing. Thank you for your positive thoughts.
Don't apologize for sharing personal tragedy here when you need help. Everyone here cares. It's why this board is different.
Thank Fren 🐸
This must feel lonely and devastating for you. I am so sorry, so much loss. I will pray that you feel the comfort that can only come from our Lord Jesus, and that you will feel his peace and presence. Have hope, e comforted. I am so sorry.
Yes I am a Christian, and that is what comforts me now. I’m just hoping that during the time he was in a coma, that the Lord was able to reach him and that he excepted him as his Lord and Savior. He will be greatly missed by many.
I believe that the Lord does all He can to reach people like your friend. I have had firsthand experience of "hearing" God when I was near death. Friend, be comforted as much as possible by knowing that Jesus loved your friend more than we could ever imagine. Bless you
I feel the same. When I was 14 I was in a bicycle accident and ruptured my spleen. I saw a great white light and have been seeking answers ever since. ThisisHowitStarts friend is in the protection of our lord Jesus Christ and I pray for his family.
Thank you and I’m praying that the Lord reached out to him and that he found that light!
Both happened friend. He is with Jesus now and he appreciates your last text message. God is good.
Thanks so much it was very cathartic
Your Heavenly Father will comfort you as I know He is welcoming Rob. Even though you are heartbroken take comfort in your memories with Rob and know that you will see him again someday.
Remember you are loved and your family here is praying for you. 🙏💕
Thank you so much! I appreciate your love and prayers.🙏💕
Blessings fren!
What is his name so we can pray for him? Everyone is a child of God. He loves the sinners just as much as the righteous. He loves you as much as he loves your friend and your friend will be praying for you until your time comes to meet him again in the presence of our Lord. God bless you my friend.
His name is Rob
Prayers for you and your friend Rob. It is so hard to lose a friend especially when they are so young. May he be welcomed in the arms of our Lord.
🙏💕
I’m so sorry.😞
🙏💕
Hello my Friend ! Psalm 34:18-20 KJV. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. I’m lifting you up believing God will comfort you during this horrific time of loss ! Jesus is the prince of peace and I pray that His peace that passes all understanding will flood your heart. I’m praying that you get rest and that your mind is protected from the enemy . Allow yourself to grieve , cry when you need to and know that I am here. Keep me close !!
Thank you so much my friend! It’s good to hear from you. Your prayers and words mean the world to me. I am still planning on coming your way sometime, I don’t know win, but sometime. Where we can rejoice together in our newfound friendship, and talk till we drop! God bless you and have a good night. And… I will never stop believing !
I’m So glad you’ll never stop believing lol and so glad to hear you are still planning to come out ,, you can stay here with me if u want as I mentioned before! I know you lost a friend this week , but you have a new one , .. God opens a door when a window is shut … I’m Here ! Keep me close and I’m believing God will comfort your loss for as long as you need Him to. I’m so sorry my friend, someday you will introduce me to him, what a glorious day that will be .. but not to soon ;) how’s your foot ?
🙏💕🐸
Amen!
It’s good to share with your “extended” family. My prayers go out to you and Rob. Hopefully you will find comfort and peace soon. 🙏
Thanks Fren 🐸
I am so sorry for the sad loss of your friend. I hope you'll be ok.

Thank you so much. I listen to both of those videos and they do explain how you feel! I lost my husband and he died at the age of 30, it broke me. But I come back stronger. Dealing with the death of my friend is nothing like what happened 12 years ago, but it still feels empty inside. Thank you for sharing that with me, I’ll keep those in my playlist for others.
Oh my. I am so sorry for that loss & that this one has hurt as much as it does too. Reading these comments reminds me of how much love we have for one another on this board.
Thank you for sharing so we can mourn with you.
Thank you. I can honestly say that I felt very uplifted last night. I was up till 4 o’clock in the morning reading these replies, and then replying back. Everyone’s love was much felt.
Glad it helped. That is tough. I wonder why I am not asked to live through the same suffering that others experience. I don’t know why, I just try to do the best with what I’ve got. Take care fren.
I am sorry you lost your friend. He's returned home to Heavenly Father. May his family and friends be blessed and lifted up at this sad time.
🙏💕
Did he have kids? Even more devastating if he did.
He did not have kids and he was not married, however he did have a girlfriend that I think he was going to be marrying that had a child.
What a terrible thing. God bless your friend, his family, and you.
🙏💕
So sorrry to hear friend. May god forgive your friend of his sins and keep him. May he bri g his familiy and friends comfort and peace in these hard times.
You have us.
Thank you that is so sweet, and I am grateful that I have all of you. It’s making things just a little bit easier for me. God bless you and have a great night!
having a connection with god would definitely make these situations easier, but fuck, feel for u dude
Yeah I’ve had better days. But definitely the Lord will get me through this. But yes it sucks. Thanks for acknowledging that!
I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙏
🙏💕
Wow, I’m so sorry. Praying for you and your friend’s family. 🙏🏻
🙏💕
I am so sorry for your tragic news. I pray you and Rob's family will be comforted as you mourn the loss of this young man. Tomorrow is certainly never promised to us...this just reminds us of the fragility of life and the need for a relationship with Abba, our Heavenly Father who sends the Comforter. God bless you all.
Yes I am so grateful that I have a relationship with my Lord and Savior. The Lord has truly blessed me, and I know it was Rob‘s time, because the Lord took him. I can only hope to know the reason why when we meet in heaven together. God bless you have a great night.
So very sorry for your loss. Lost a very dear friend two years ago and I still think about him all of the time. He had a weird near death type experience ten years before he died. Passed out in his bathroom with off the charts high BP. Three men told him it wasn't his time and he had ten years. So weird that he would tell me and my husband that a few years before he passed. We thought he was joking, because he was not the type of guy to share a story like that.
Anyway, he died ten years after the first incident. I think we were meant to tell his wife after he passed. She was absolutely devastated because it was very sudden. When I mentioned the three men thing, she said, "What are you talking about?" If my husband hadn't have been there when he told us that story I would have doubted my memory of it. I do believe every hair on our head is numbered and we are called when the Lord wants us.
Very interesting story, and it’s not surprising to me at all. I know there is an afterlife, and I believe everything your friend told you. I’m happy he found his way to the Lord.
So sad, because "brain dead" is just a medically induced coma. The target is the organs, and they do it for anyone who puts "organ donor" on their drivers license.
Well with my friend they actually did do brain surgery, and there was some signs, and then finally it just dropped out. Who knows what they do anymore, I know we lived in a messed up world. I do not have organ donor on my license. For this very reason!
The love of Christ be with you! 44 Years ago, I was 17 years old, my brother was 20. He was involved in an automobile accident and sustained closed head injury and was in a coma for 9 days. My family lived in the waiting room around the clock during that time praying for a miracle....I remember the moment when my parents were confronted with the news that it was determined that Kenny was brain dead and he was on a ventilator they asked them the difficult question about harvesting his organs, my Dad could not do it. Your friend is still yet to be a hero for so many, God Bless him and his soul, God bless and comfort you and his family for all they have and will need to endure in the coming days and weeks ahead. It is tough! Back in 1978 I remember a song that often played on the radio then,,,"Only the good die young"......Love and Peace my fren
Wow I’m sorry for your loss even though it was so long ago. He was your brother! So sad. But we will be with our loved ones in the days to come when we pass over. Thank you for your encouraging words.
First, my deepest condolences to you u/ThisIsHowItStarts concerning your friend. May God provide love and mercy from this tragedy.
As further information to u/TrumpFan2000 post. Let me say, even if you don't put "organ donor" on your drivers license, you are still considered an organ donor. According to the language of the law, Revised Anatomical Gift Act (2006), you must “opt-out,” documenting your "refusal" in writing using "explicit language," otherwise, it is "presumed" that you have consented to be an organ donor to be utilized for the purpose of "organ transplantation, education and research." Let's call it for what it is, organ harvesting is big money for hospitals.
Family members really do need to stand guard over a loved one in the hospital. It is becoming apparent that hiring a lawyer to go to the hospital for protecting your rights (and life) might be a good idea.
Clues to any nefarious activity existing in your State can be provided by what Canada and Great Britain are doing. If a medical law is enacted in Canada or Great Britain for instance, you can bet that there is ground work to make it happen here in the United States. How far is it in the process though? Which States have already adopted the policy? And what are they not telling us that already exists? How many people are aware of the Revised Anatomical Gift Act (2006)? This ought to be a real concern for everyone and their loved ones. Take a look at Great Britain and what they just enacted. How long was this the behind-the-door policy before they decided to make it a law? UK’s New Organ Policy. --- Scary.

God bless you and his family. Find peace with it and live on, its all we can do.
Yes I will be living on, and so Well his love his creativity. Thank you
Praying for you and everyone in your friend's life. Seek God in the void that your friend leaves behind.
That’s great advice. I will seek the Lord and ask him to fill that void. Thank you. Sometimes we forget the obvious.
This is very sad. Please know that you have a community here, and you are not alone. My prayers to you and his family, fellow pede.
Thanks Fren 🐸
Lord, our Father. Please wrap your arms around this Patriot. I pray you give him peace and comfort during this time. Thank you, God for giving him a space to grieve and a network for support.
I pray that you shower the family of this man with love. Give them strength to endure this terrible time. Give them peace, for you are with them. Thank you for loving us and granting mercy upon us so that one day, we may meet our loved ones again.
We will meet them again.
God bless you my friend. You are not alone!
Thank you for such a lovely and heartwarming prayer. It put a smile on my face, enjoying my heart. Yes knowing that we will see our loved ones again, as a Christian, it does make things a little easier. Thank you again God bless you.
And God bless you, my friend! Hard times are when I feel closest to God. It reminds me that He has plans for me. And there is a reason this happened to me. God has chosen YOU! What a blessing that is.
Thank you for being a part of this community. I hope your days get a little brighter. Please reach out if you need more prayers.
So sorry for your suffering fren
🙏💕
They are a very strong Mormon family, he had moved away but moved back several years ago. I’m hoping that he got closer with his family, and that they find comfort in being able to spend time with him before he passed.
🙏💕🐸
I’m so sorry fren. It’s an awful tragedy to lose someone with lots of life ahead.
I was close to someone who used to work in that field. Even in the sadness, there are so many recipients and their families who are on the other end of his gift…his tragedy and his gift answers so many prayers. And your friend does live on in those here on earth.
Let that be a bit of consolation for you tonight.
I hope that it helps over time too. My friend said that every year, there would be a “celebration of life” ceremony, where all of the donor’s families and the recipient families could go to…sometimes the families may even meet each other. The emotions between the families and recipients were so big…the grief was revisited, and the hugs of the donor families given to the recipients…it was as if they were holding their loved ones again. Perhaps there is a similar event there which you may attend?
I’m glad you’re here and glad you posted. You are not alone.
Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful insight. Yes I am trying to think forward, to the people that will be kept alive, or even be given sight. He had the most beautiful blue eyes, even my friend today mentioned that. I hope that they go to somebody who needs them. There will be families all over the United States that will be rejoicing in their hope of their loved one being given life today, so yes I will rest in knowing that.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You and he will be in my prayers.
🙏💕
Heartbreaking! We are with you, Friend. Glad you shared your sorrow with us.
🙏💕
This may be controversial but when you said he was donating his organs, do you know for sure he was brain dead and they’re not lying to just get his organs?
No I don’t know 100%, but with anybody? His mother and father were in charge of all that. They are very loving caring Christian people, so who knows what happened really. But at this point in time it’s too late because he’s already gone. But yes throughout the thread there have been people discussing the harvesting in human trafficking of organs.
Allowing your organs to be harvested is more incentive to just kill you off in the hospital. Do not trust the death care system.
Agreed
May God give you and his family and friend peace that passes all understanding. I pray you feel God's presences letting you know He is there for you. For God sticks to you closer than a brother and He will never leave you. Lean on Him during these times and He will give you rest. Also, know we will continue to pray for you for the days to come. May God bless and keep you in His care. In the name of Jesus Amen
I love people when they “scriptures in their prayers. It really does comfort me. Thank you
I'm sorry for your loss. I'm praying for you and everyone going through this awful time.
🙏💕
My sincere condolences - I recently lost my husband and feel much the same way - I received tremendous support from all the frens here. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I’m not sure you ever really get over losing your husband. Mine passed away at the age of 30, 12 years ago. Up until two years ago I still wore my ring every day. But my cousin stole it from me. I was heartbroken. But I still think of him a lot, my husband that is! Lol. I’m sorry for your loss I pray that one day you will be able to come to terms with it and perhaps find somebody else to share your life with. To be perfectly honest, I’m happy being single.
🙏🙏✝️
🙏💕
