In loving Memory of a father, a son, and a brother (an SGA suicide)

Posted by Sara S. on April 09, 2003 at 14:13:08

Sadly S. R. (of R. MW & S) took his own life in the end of March this year. Of course, no one knows the reason for this-as it seemed he had “everything going for him”.

He spent most of his time in The Family in Thailand and Turkey, and left The Family in 1996-1997.

He lived in Texas and was an LVN working with terminally ill patients at a hospice. He enjoyed travel and recently got his PATTI license for driving. He is described by his brother as eccentric and was someone that liked to “push the limits”.

His next of kin (his brother) was notified on March 31st and the funeral was held on Saturday April 5th. 35-40 people as well as all of his immediate family (except the children) attended the funeral.

He was 29 years old. He is survived by his 3 children, 4 brothers and his parents.

Those that knew and loved him will miss him greatly!

We wish that this had not happened, and will never understand why he chose this path-he will always be in our thoughts.



*Editor’s note:
The newly deceased’s name has intentionally been withheld as per the wish of his ex wife, out of respect for his children (who don’t know how their daddy died). Please respect S.'s ex wife's wished in regards to this.

If anyone has any questions or would like to get in touch with his family, please contact me at
