    So how do we go about this contribute thing? Send donation to SP and Tal takes care of it or what?

    I have a PayPal account I guess people could send contributions maked for Kitrax to it. I call a flowest and arrange a proper flower arrangement. Mixed colors if I do that quiete really gets to me.

    While I certainly cannot travel cross country to attend the funeral personally, I will certainly be willing to contribute.

    Checked Profile. Registered users should be able to see my SKYPE name and my yahoo address. Yahoo and msn conect with each other. Don't know about other messengers.

    If I hit all the right buttons you should be able to see the info. Could some check and let me know if it works?

    About contribution it is up to Tal what he wants to do but I just don't think the whole burden should fall on him, BTA, DMC and Beren. Sure they are getting plenty of totally unecessary PMs.

    We are family we help if we can.

    You can find Kit's obituary here, I've posted it below.

    Aaron Buzard 1984 ~ 2010

    The Kenneth and Della Buzard family is saddened to announce the passing of their youngest son and brother Aaron Joseph Buzard. Aaron returned to our Heavenly Father on Monday, November 1, 2010. Aaron suffered from depression for some time. Aaron received an Associates degree in Electronic Engineering from ITT Tech in December of 2009. He worked for Fairchild Semi Conductor for five years. Aaron requested that we "dwell on his life and not his death". Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 6, 2010 at 11:00 a.m., at the Park 3rd Ward (4800 West 7000 South), with a viewing from 10-10:45 at the church. Interment West Jordan City Cemetery. Online condolences can be sent to www.jenkins-soffe.com

    I must admit, the reality of this hits harder seeing his picture next to the obituary.

    Interesting obituary - it hints pretty strongly at suicide being thecause of death, which is unusual to do in an obit. Nothing wrong with it, just different; at least it's an acknowledgement that there's no point in hiding from the truth.

    Hi guys,

    I just wanted to post to you all and give you the Obit, but it looks like someone beat me to it.

    I knew the real life version of Aaron, and didn't know him very well. I worked with is ex wife, but every time he came into work, he was very kind, always shook my hand, and was always a pleasure to have a conversation with.

    I remember talking to him about wanting to throw a LAN party at my house as I am a geek. I regret that I was never able to get the party going. I also regret I didn't get to know him more. When the divorce was going on, I felt it best to not hang out with him or his ex as the last thing I wanted was to be in the middle.

    It sad to hear of the choice he made Monday. Suicide is something very personal to me, as growing up as a fat kid and being bullied all my life I thought about it a lot. I am glad I chose not to and I am at a great point in my life.

    Aaron will be missed by many and I hope the mourning process goes by smoothly for everyone.

    I found this forum after someone posted on his facebook, I just thought I would bring a "real life" perspective for you as you never got to know him in person.

    Have a great day all!

    I'd like to contribute as well. I've never used paypal and stuff but I do have a credit card. It saddens me to think about all the anguish he must have been through. He will be sorely missed that's for sure.

    Since so far nobody has confirmed their attendance at the funeral services, I'll go ahead and set up a donation page so that we can send flowers or help his family cover the funeral costs.

    I just heard... by some irony of fate, I first saw the thread that he was gone, then that he had died, then that he announced he was ending his life. I don't know what to say... He was one of the guys who I associated with this place, and despite not knowing him very well I feel awful about it. I would not imagine how those who know him personally feel. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

    [​IMG] Anyone who would like to contribute towards sending flowers for Kit's funeral and/or (depending on how much we manage to raise) helping his parents with the funeral expenses can do so on this page via PayPal. Having a PayPal account is NOT required to donate - all you need is a credit card.

    If you would like to send money some other way, please contact me via a private message.

    All the remaining money that we raise will be forwarded to help with the funeral costs.

    Thanks, Tal. I'm sure Kit's family will appreciate the good gesture from SP. I've made mine as well.
