Please don't suffer in silence. Rest In Peace Captain Owens.We’re back from a heartbreaking trip to Wrightsville Beach, where we were able to help honor the life of Captain Jeremy Owens who died by suicide on Monday.

Captain Owens fought his disease for the last several years.

Sadly, we saw this weekend how much he had to truly live for. How many lives he touched and how many people loved him.

We found that the resources he couldn’t find were right here all along in the form of family, friends, purpose, and mental health resources.

“Suicide doesn’t end the chances of life getting worse, it eliminates the possibility of it ever getting any better. – Unknown”

This is Jeremy’s mom, she came by to sit in his truck and smell him one last time. It was heartbreaking to see the pain she, and all those who loved him inherited through his loss.

“The person who completes suicide, dies once. Those left behind die a thousand deaths, trying to relive those terrible moments and understand… why?” – Clark

Please know, no matter how bad things feel, life does get better. You have to weather the storm, and just like this virus never seems to end, I promise, it will get better, and I promise this virus will be controlled soon.

“Soak up the views. Take in the bad weather and the good weather. You are not the storm.” Matt Haig

If you are considering suicide and pain, call us 1-855-7NC-PEER, if you are in a suicidal crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline '1-800-273-TALK (8255)'!
