Taking your own is also unforgivable... the ones left behind never forgive the selfish human that refused to change and instead just left.

@@trishhamilton2049 the people left behind care more about being abandoned than the pain and desperation of the suicider. They are the selfish ones.

[@fremontpathfinder8463]

Sorry but I won't remember the person who pulled the trigger as an "incredible human being." What a horrible selfish decision. When the daughter is out of her shock, she will wonder why she wasn't enough to keep whoever pulled the trigger from doing so. She will need therapy. This is happening more and more. Americans are getting so soft that they can't handle any stress or disappointment. I wonder how my parents made it through the Great Depression and WW II and then losing a house to foreclosure in the 1980's without resorting to violence or dumping our pets at a shelter. Family suicide murder is an everyday event now in America. It's selfish and it shows an unwillingness to deal with the ups and downs in life.

Life is complicated, unfortunately, if you don't deal w an issue, it can snowball.

I know so many unhappy married couples it’s crazy. I don’t understand why folks are torturing themselves.

Deep Condolences to the family. 💐

1 victim, not 2. Man, killing the person you say you love. He can be remembered as the incredible husband, father, who killed his loving life. Sad.

[@OGMann]

Smh. Epidemic of these murder/suicide cases.

We are in the Gilded Age Number 2. Only expect more of this as we allow the Wealth Gap to get larger and the Middle Class being Non-Existent. Last time we were in a Gilded Age was literally the Wild West times. Guess what that was known for? Violence and Crime.

Rest in peace for the couple ❤🙏♥️

I can't imagine what their 4 adult children are going through, knowing they've just lost BOTH parents and it's bc one killed the other then themselves.

[@UCanHaveHim]

Selfish. If you get to such a point, all you can do is pray. Pray with tears in yiur eyes and snot coming out your nose because if you're this low, it's the only way out before you make a horrible mistake.

This is Sad…. Seems like A Very Sweet Couple who Enjoy Each Other and Going to Sports Events. My Condolences goes to All the Family….Especially the Children of the Couple . Condolences to All the Close Friends as Well. Seems such a Shame…. There are A Lot of People in the World Who Never get to Experience Love, Relationships, Marriage and having Children and Family . I Know Nothing is ‘So Terrible’ that Killing Another Person and/or One’s Self is the Only Way to Solve Anything in this World . But Who Am I to Say…. I Only Wish People would Find another Way to Solve Personal Problem WITHOUT Resorting to Killing , Murder and Death . Life is Difficult at Times…. Sometimes More so than Great and Good Times… I Wishes Goes to the Family that Peace May Console Your Souls . I Know it Hurts . It Hurts to Hear Such Sadness….

[@kbrewski1]

Did you see any warning signs?

[@twinkle2881]

@@kbrewski1 Not at all ! . It was near Valentines day and the man made a funny comment on the Lingerie his wife was purchasing . They really stood out with all the niner gear and jewelry they were wearing . I never forgot them .

[@kellypatterson4412]

"Couple leaves family behind" implies that it was a choice for both of them.

[@smartcookie3500]

It was. "Until death do us part".

[@sweepingdenver]

Agreed, horrible wording that completely misconstrues the story.

[@ariraquel4567]

True..I thought maybe someone was terminally ill the way the title reads 😮

[@kellypatterson4412]

@@smartcookie3500 that sense of entitlement is why women don't want to marry anymore.
