Trigger warning-please pray for his family and friends

My husband is pretty good friends with his boss. They found out they where related by marriage when he got hired on as Service Manager. And they became friends shortly after he began working there. We went to his home for cookouts, to my husbands uncles together for cook outs, who is also his bosses uncle (by marriage, his aunt is married to my husbands uncle). His youngest child and ought daughter are only about ten days apart.

Yesterday I was fixing to start doing dishes and I heard my phone go off from a text and I said I’ll just get it later. It was charging in the bedroom. I never heard the other two text and three phone calls from my husband. The first message I seen was him saying I needed to call his grandmother and have her call his uncle (that’s his grandmothers brother and they are really close) and find out what’s going because he was pretty sure he just called him saying that his boss had killed him self. I hurried up and called my husband and by that time he had already talked to his grandmother and he said that he did commit suicide. I was in complete shock. I asked him if he was okay and he said yeah and I can hear him start to cry. I was going to go meet him but he got off early and came to pick me up so we can go to his uncles house and check on him. He uncle and his boss where very close. That was like his son to him. We got there and his uncle starts crying, telling us he was sorry and he did all he could do.

His boss told my husband last week that he wasn’t coming in Saturday. He had some stuff to work out at home and his relationship was more important than that job. Then he said he was coming in and he would deal with it after work. Then he didn’t come in. He had been staying the last several days and his uncles house.

Yesterday he left for lunch and said they where going to talk. I don’t know what was said. But she called everyone because he was saying he was gonna do it and she didn’t know where he was. So my husbands uncle called my husband and asked if his boss was there. He said he just was. He called his uncle back and said he wasn’t. Not to long after that is when his uncle called and told him what happened.

He drove to the store and bought a gun. Went to the woods and did it. My husbands cousin (uncles daughter) found him when he was taking his last breathe.

I can’t wrap my head around it. He had never said anything. Never joked about it or nothing. My heart is broken from his family. He was only 28. He has a wife of mine years, a 7 year old son, 6 year old daughter, and a 1 year old daughter. It hurts to think that he felt like they was his only option. He such a good relationship with everyone. My husband is sad be he is upset at the same time because he said it’s not just his wife and children. He was taken away from everybody. I have cried and cried. We have all built friendships and memories together.

His sister said she felt like he couldn’t see past it. I believe his wife said she wanted a month. It was only 6 days I believe. And I feel like he decided if she was done this is what he was doing. I’m just still in shock and heart broken for all of the family and friends. I’m sorry this is so long but please, please say a prayer/send good thoughts to all of his family and friends. He was so goofy and was an awesome friend who was always trying to get a laugh out of you. He had such a big heart and treated everyone so kindly.
