This is not a joke...
Sunday night Kenneth Gary took his own life. He sustained a shotgun blast to the head. He died instantly, there was no pain. We are trying to set up some sort of fund with the Potomac Valley Youth Orchestra that he had played the cello for. I will keep everyone up to date on when the fund is set up and when the memorial services will be.« replies »
PVYO

I'm not sure exactly what to say to news like that, except that I knew him since I was 5 years old. He was always the nicest person, and it seemed that he got even nicer as he got older. Though after 6th grade, he and I didn't see much of each other, partially due to the fact that we started going to different schools, I still rememered how often we did things together. Kenneth, Keith, Gerson, and I were always a group. If I wasn't with the Gary's or with Gerson, the Garys were with Gerson. It was only recently, with the creation of The CULT, that I started interacting more again with Kenneth. I know I did some wrong to him, and for that I apologize to him and everybody else. I think we should dedicate a web page on The Cult to his memory. I probably have some old pictures of him someplace in my house. I am goign to see if I can find them and give them to his family and closest friends.
none.

I don't care if it is a joke or not, this is fucked up. Kenneth was an awesome cello player, but now I have no one to make fun of. I can't stroke his big instrument anymore... This is so depressing. Kenneth is a great guy, and funny too. I can't believe it. Let me know about the memorial or PVYO or anything.

i know kenneth meant a whole hell of a lot to me and a bunch of you other guys. it just doesnt seem like kenneth would do this. there has been so much fucking talk of suicide lately and this is the final straw. no one is going to kill themsleves again, you guys hear me? i am totally being seriously. i love you all too much to lose another person that means the world to me

Uh. I'm still in shock...
ok..I didn't talk to Kenneth a whole lot, but when I did he seemed so confident... he seemed like he understood everything. The last time I talked to him was at UMCP Orientation, but I saw him at Cary's party. He was so smart and talented and... what the fuck?
I'm reading all his old posts and I just found myself laughing out loud (not good when you're pretending to work) because he was so goddamn funny.
I can't believe this...
Kenneth will be missed on the wall, and a lot more, I'm sure, in real life.

I am saddened to hear this. I just met him last april since we both were in 'Pit' for the play. He was fun, I didnt really know him, but we joked around a few times, a real nice guy. frankly just reading the post took my breath away, I dont know what to say.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. No one else should even consider it. I cant see how it can get so bad that this becomes the only option. Kenneth had his whole life ahead of him, just the stupid things of teenage years became too much. My deepest sympathy to the Gary family, this is a tragedy.
Regards,
John Heflin

even though kenneth and i were not the closest of freinds i was around him enough and talked to him enough to feel like he was my brother i know that my loss is insignificant to those of you that had daily dealings with kenneth but i feel that it needs to be said i have lost a brother and great friend in this tragedy kenneth will be greatly missed but he will never be forgotten---even in dennys i couldnt stop thinking about kenneth eating sugar from a coffe cup and ill never be able to eat a wendys again without seeing him in the swim cap and eating a frosty with his hands--------kenneth was a great guy and he could make me laugh at anytime i will miss his funny super whack sense of humor and i will miss him----my heartfelt sorrow goes out to the gary family and all kenneths freinds------also if you need a ride to the memorial i will be driving on saturday email me @ twenty4sev365@hotmail.com
i know we all feel like we have lost a brother--he is family forever and will always be missed

My deepest sorrows to him and his family, for he shall never be coming back. No one else EVER get any ideas about doing the same. I didnt know him but - linked subconsciously - through the cult and our goals of humor
We shall never forget thou...
