Oh please, let it not be Sawyer. Unfortunately, I won't be surprised if it is but I hope, I hope, I hope it isn't.

Missing Sawyer West
Sawyer died on October 16, 2020 on his own terms and is now resting and healed in the arms of Jesus Christ. (more at the link)

Dying on "his own terms" sounds like suicide -- all too common in those who suffer from schizophrenia especially if untreated. :-(

RIP.
Thankful the family has answers.
My condolences.

A troubled soul finds peace at last. I'm sorry your existence was such a burden to you, Sawyer. I pray your family finds their own peace now.

RIP SAWYER YOU LOOKED LIKE A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT!

On his own terms is actually a beautiful way to put it.

I’m so sorry things were so terrible for you, sawyer. I really am. You’re at peace now.

Oh its such a cruel and torturous disease. I had several residents who ended up with the same fate.

Rest easy, now, buddy. It can't control you anymore.

Body found at Edmonds College ruled a suicide, identified as man missing since October - Lynnwood Times

West, 29, died by suicide, said the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office.

West fought a hard battle against the mental illness, his schizophrenia conceiving auditory hallucinations, hearing voices within his mind that appeared real.

[...]

West’s sister says her only current peace is in knowing his hallucinations have been silenced but grieves the loss of her brother and the pain he endured through his illness. Continuing, she says West was more than her brother, but her greatest source of love; his illness her biggest source of sadness.

“Schizophrenia is the cruelest disease,” she said. “For years it tried to destroy my brother, yet his kind, loving, and sweet heart never faltered…he loved loudly, and suffered silently…how brilliantly he fought, and how beautifully he showed himself to the world.”

Happened upon Sawyer's story tonight while watching a YouTube live interview with his mother, Carol Crane, on Jason Hebert's channel.

Mrs. Crane has some good questions Sawyer's family deserves the answers to.
