Can anyone somehow confirm that this isn't BS? Kevin is one of the most stand-up explorers I've ever had the privilege of meeting, and I know I'm out of touch when it comes to UER but I have no idea who "PorkRenegade" is.

I can understand your disbelief in that such a stand up guy might in a moment of despair make such a terrible decision, but I assure you it is true.

Wow, I have to say I'm kind of shocked to see this. I met him several times when he came out this way and he seemed like good people for sure. Just a nice guy. This is terrible.

Wow.. He was the first person I ever went exploring with. I remember meeting up with him when I was just 16. Him and vision. Riding the belt-o-vator in the flour mill. Exploring the military housing near the college. The UW steam tunnels.. I met up with him just last year to explore this little fertilizer plant thing up in Bellingham. I'd lost his number I had been meaning to contact him again.. I had no idea he suffered from depression. He always lived on the edge it seemed like he had no fear climbing up on scary looking ledges and looking over. I always looked up to him and admired his bravery and sense of adventure. I just can't believe it... I guess I am just fortunate to have gone on those adventures with him. Unfortunately I have finals tomorrow from 8am-5pm so I will miss the service but I will send flowers and my regards.
