re: What’s the worst way someone you knew died?

We were home from school and out at TJ Quills the night before Thanksgiving. Was catching up with a friend from high school the whole night. We left at the same time and the next morning I found out that he flipped his Jeep and was decapitated when his head was caught between the road and cross bar. This happened right around the corner from the bar so I was talking to him five minutes before this happened. Freaks me out to this day.

My grandfather died of this.


Lost my best friend from brain cancer.
Worse thing I've had to see a young man go through.

Dad died of Alzheimer's, started about 55, took 10 years.

A few years after I taught a girl in jr high, she was decapitated when an old gas station roof over the pumps blew off and flew across a parking lot and decapitated her, engaged to be married soon, about 21 or 22, worst cruelty the world has inflicted on anyone I have ever known.

Knew a girl who’s home had been broken into when she was a teenager.. Her whole family was tied up, then killed but somehow she survived.. I didnt have a clue about any of this until a bunch of us were on a trip one time (in our 20s) and one of my buddies faked like he was breaking into the hotel room where she and another girl were staying to play a prank on them, and she absolutely flipped out... Whoops.

Went in a double date with a friend in high school. He and his girlfriend had been fighting most of the date over dumb shite. He was driving and I was in the passenger seat. Girls were in the back. After she said something stupid he stopped the truck and got out and went to her door and wa yelling back at her. I was telling his dumb arse to get back in the truck and take us home since it was almost past my curfew when she told him she cheated on him. He looked up the street and noticed an 18 wheeler coming in the opposite direction and the told her “I hope it was worth it.” He then looked at me and said, “See you on the other side.” He turned around and jumped in front of the 18 wheeler which was probably going 65mph. fricked me up for a while. He was only 16 and had his whole life ahead of him.
I will never forget the sound of the truck hitting him.

While I was in high school a bus driver worked at a local saw mill in between his route. He got off his fork lift with out setting the brake. The fork lift rolled forward driving one of the forks through him. He was alive until they removed the fork.

A crane operator had his 14yo son helping grease the crane boom. The brake failed and crushed his son while he watched.

Father and son were testing a bearing to fit on a shaft 120ft in the air. The 150lb bearing rolls off and breaks the scaffold board the father is standing on. Son watches his father fall to his death.

Three brothers I grew up with father died from being basically cooked in a boiler. There were 3 or 4 of them that got shut up in the boiler after maintenance was completed. They actually lived a few days but it cooked them so bad their organs failed.

A young Forman for a company that was working beside us was electrocuted when the load he was guiding touched a power line.

Knew a kid riding his gocart, he hit a trailer hitch and crushed his skull.

Worked with a Brazilian on his first hitch promoted to a crane operator he died in a car wreck on the way home to his pregnant wife.

Log rolled off a log truck and killed the owner of the logging company. I grew up with his sons.

Lots of friends that died in car wrecks. Kids are the worst.
