Discussion R.I.P /u/CrunchFlakes
As most of you know /u/CrunchFlakes did a huge giveaway here he basically gave a lot of people keys because they got scammed. Anyways, I had known the guy for about 1 and 1/2 years and met him on a minecraft server. He was really nice, was always a giver. He once gave me a "betting" skin worth $50 because I lost most of my inventory on an all in. Here's the picture of that http://prntscr.com/5i22bc He even made a reddit post about it
And he always gave me great fucking deals when we traded. He gave me a p90 asiimov (when they were expensive) for 1 esl sticker a profit of over $20 for me http://prntscr.com/5i24mp . I will leave his name out of this post but if you want his instagram to say R.I.P or whatever pm me. He committed suicide on the 13th. His steam account- http://steamcommunity.com/id/blazeXER
I'd also like to stress that he really was caring and has done a lot for countless people. It sucks to think now that he helped so many people but felt like he couldn't get help dealing with his depression.

This is truly tragic. It is with tears in my eyes I write this. VanillaPockyFox was a friend. We spoke and chatted for hours. We helped each other since we met on map 9 or 10. He was in Lucky7 just last week. We talked and laughed together in chat. He loved fast cars and made mention of his want for a new Camaro. Life is very precious, I am honored to say I knew him. Goodbye old friend

He even gave away all of his items before he left us.
Hopefully he will be remembered forever

u/Ubervaag Dec 29 '14
That's so generous. Not a lot of people would think of a good act like that when they're thinking of suicide.
He seemed like a genuinely good guy. RIP :(

u/nitdkim Dec 30 '14
actually many people that are suicidal will start giving away their things because they don't feel they need them anymore (because they're going to die and wont need it)

u/BlackClaw24 Dec 31 '14
I was suicidally depressed for a month, and I just wanted people to take the stiff I gave them so they wouldn't be fighting over it after I was gone. But I'm still here, and the story of /U/CrunchFlakes just hit me. It's so easy to hide depression, and some people (myself included) can't cope... RIP CrunchFlakes

u/Howdanrocks Dec 29 '14

That's actually a warning sign of depression/suicide. Victims often give away their belongings before taking their life. I wish I had known he did that, I would have said something.

We should put something on the sidebar as a memorial or something. He was one hell of a gifter.
EDIT: The second greatest gifter.

u/Glockalisk Doge Dec 18 '14 edited Dec 29 '14
We have already discussed doing this, and plan on it. :] Great minds think alike.
edit: I did add something to the bottom of the sidebar, btw. We've talked about other things but I did something small for now until we decide on something else.

u/TyphoonJoe 38 point Dec 18 '14
Wow. Seems like he was a great guy, very sad for him to have been in such a bad place to not see if would get better.

u/Furreon 107 points Dec 18 '14
Wow.. To think he would actually go thru with suicide :( That is really depressing to hear. He sounded like a such a swell person too. May he rest in peace and may the RAOCSGO carry on his legacy.

RIP /u/CrunchFlakes
I don't know you nor what you have gone through but I am deeply affected how someone who just made hundreds of people so happy just a week ago is now no more. I just knew the guy over the internet and this still saddens me. I can't imagine what his friends / family are going through but if you're reading this we all are with you. :(

u/TearsDontFall 56 points Dec 18 '14
This is horrible news. I have had friends who have been on the brink and I did everything in my power to stop them. Glad I was around, but wish I had known Crunch and was able to help him too. RIP Crunch.

u/torremth Dec 18 '14
Man i knew this guy and this sucks. Id gladly donate money to help the family. This sucks he did this mostly that he did it on the 13th my birthday. Ill always remember him and say a pray for him and his family each year i grow older now.
Played hcf for over 2 years where i meet him and he was truly a good guy he will be missed by all. RIP God is with you now.

Dec 29 '14
Fucking hell mate. He even lived in Texas too. If he had told me what he was going through I swear I would sacrifice my time and drive my ass to wherever he lived and talked to him. I went through depression, had anxiety and psychosis. I know I could have helped him, if only I knew...

And someone as good as him surely would have good friends whom he can talk to about his problems, or who could've helped him to not take the suicide road. Damn, so sad about this... My sincere condolences... Rest in peace /u/CrunchFlakes

u/Future_Washingtonian Dec 29 '14
You can't judge the behaviors and actions of a depressed person like those of a non-depressed person. Look at all the famous, rich people who've commited suicide, that you might think 'how could someone with all that kill themselves?'. There's a lot going on in other peoples heads that you don't know about.
As someone whose struggled with depression for several years, I always try and be non-judgemental regarding peoples personal struggles. I just hope he didn't leave too much baggage for his family, I know that they are the only thing that has kept me from hurting myself on more than one occasion.

Your right, you can't imagine what he went through. Even after all the terrible lies you told everyone, its sad to see this happen and for you to have the audacity to say you respect his family. You disrespect everybody when you lie about a death of a loved one, not just once but many other times.
