That's true, but it doesn't mean he wasn't a talented rider people looked up to, or that he won't be missed. Ski instructor friend of mine killed himself nearly 2 years ago, we were all a close group at that ski school and it sucked, it affected all of us, but none of us were willing to just write Kevski off. Despair twists perception, it's not as simple as waking up one morning and just going, "Welp, think I'm gonna off myself today. Better get started working up some angsty adjectives for my note."
