Hey Buddy
Jeremy,
Hey buddy. I hope you are listening wherever you are. None of us are ready to let you go. Please come home when you are ready. So many people miss you and are deeply concerned about you. You have touched so many lives in so many unique ways. Even in your disappearance you brought so many people from many walks of your life together. You united family, friends, co-workers, and so many others who want to help you. That is what you do best – you bless the lives you cross. I have turned to so many of our memories together to keep you fresh and alive. I honor your passion for life, your wonderful sense of humor, the way you make people feel about themselves and the way you make them smile and laugh. I honor the way you make the simplest of things and times fun, the way you bring happiness and laughter into our lives, and the way you make yourself available to your friends and family, unconditionally and selflessly.
I honor all of your many gestures of friendship, your awareness and your presence, and your integrity as a human being, which gives us all something to look up to. We all miss you more than you can know. Please feel that. We are there for you, just like you would be for us. Our search for you, our thoughts of you, our wonderful stories about you, and our prayers for you are all a tribute to your life. It is truly an amazing feat to have the love of so many.
Please hear our call and come home.
Your friend always,
Chris Madden

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you my friend. I just want to tell you, wherever you are, that things do get better. I don’t know exactly what your going through right now. But I definetely know what it feels like to feel hopeless, depressed, and alone. If you decided to take a break from the world, I totally understand. Please just call your family and let them know your OK. 2 years ago, I was still a confirmed bachelor that hadn’t been in a serious rellationship in over 10 years. Now I’m with an incredible, loving, and beautiful women and Dad to 3 teenagers. If it can happen to my fat, ugly ass….it can happen to anyone. And maybe that’s not what you want… I don’t know. Man….you’ve just got to keep putting one foot in front of the other and God will take care of the rest. Life is full of ups and downs and if you are down…you can be assured that things will get better. I hope you are well. If you are…please pick up the phone and call your family. They love you very much and need to know that you are OK.

I second Chris’s comments. Knowing you since college and into our adult lives I reflect on the joy of having you as a friend. Please come home… you and your family are in my thoughts.
