This is the Internet. Nobody on here has feelings.

Yeah man i hate to say it but honestly alot of "friends" at this point in my life are just so damn competitive with eachother ya know. Like everyone always has to get 1 up on the next person, whenever someone is really doing good i almost feel like sometimes certain people would rather see that person doing bad...
In this case i lost someone who truly wanted to see me do well and would root in my corner in life no matter what the situation..

And sin city thanks, I will focus always on his positive influence and keep his positivity with me everywhere I go because thats what he would want rather then me mourning his death...

As for shawn, your just a coward...

Thanks for everyone's condolences i really hope that even in a thread on boxingscene that some of you read this and let someone you know close to them that you care about them and remind them that your always going to be there through thick and thin

I have to agree with you on that one, what u said is totally true and alot of people dont realize it. People get jealous when ur doing good and will go and wish ur doing bad behind ur back. If u have a gf ur in love wit they will go and try everything to destroy u and ur gf. Its jealousy or w.e. People are evil, they wanna destroy u at all cost . I dont got many friends anymore only a few and i like it that way, i got a few friends i have fun with and trust them wit certain things, i rather have a few friends i trust then a bunch of friends who i dont trust. Rip to ur friend dude, sounds like he had something going on wit him on the side that u didnt know, ppl will keep it inside them until one day they blow up and cant take it nomore. Hope he rests in peace.

i agree with shawn actually.

but maybe he shouldn't voice his opinion on the subject in this particular thread.

when it comes to suicide , i wonder about why and then i feel for the family and friends before the guy who did it.

the guy wanted to kill himself. he got what he wanted.

but it really shouldn't be discussed in lep's thread tbh.

Fair enough.

[baddest]

sorry for your loss and to those who loved him but I don't get it. Looks like he was pullin fine ho's, lives in america, got friends & family, why would he kill himself if he's so positive? Do you think it's possible someone murdered him?

Up until just last night I have been fortunate enough to have never really dealt with the loss of a friend or loved one.. I found out last night that my friend Nick was found at his apartment, he had hung himself.
I have known nick and hungout with him on a regular basis for about 4 years now. He was honestly someone who always put his friends before him. He was a very positive person, I never once heard him talk badly about anyone or really anything... In fact I honestly can not recall a single time where he ever even got angry. I dont think i could have said something bad about him even if i wanted to because he really was just a genuine good guy who would have done anything for his friends... I remember one time i was at a party, and we got on the topic of MMA and what not.. i was telling people my dreams of fighting professionaly at some point and explained how passionate I am about everything.. Well alot of people really brushed me off when I said that not really knowing my commitment, but ill never forget Nick said to me and infront of everyone that he cant wait to see me fight and that when I do hes going to bet everything he had on me... That really meant alot..

I know none of you know him or anything like that but i guess what i want to say here is that as people and friends I think its very important to support the people around you.. even if its something small just let people know how much you appreciate them... Pick people up when there down, it hasnt even been a whole day and Nick has over 100 people who commented him on facebook saying how much they loved him...


Rip Nick Hamel... his prom back in 07

May peace come to you during this,rip to your friend nick he is dancing with the angels now.

I had one of these threads of my own a little under 2 months ago. I never in my wildest dreams imagined the friend of mine doing anything like that and it was tremendously shocking, needless to say. It's tough but hang in there, basically. I spent a few days boozing it up really hard myself. Not that I'd reccomend it, as I only really figured **** out after I'd stopped.
