“He was an old-school gentleman, but in a kid’s body. If anyone was outside doing yard work or something, he was always the first one to ask if they needed help.”
- Alex Frye’s next door neighbor, Lindsey Power, on the boy she called a “smart, nice” kid.
Alex Frye was a 13-year-old boy who went missing on New Year’s Eve in Cheyenne, Wyo. He was found dead this morning. Alex’s death was ruled a suicide by Cheyenne police.
Before I return to my regularly scheduled programming, I’d like to share these numbers with my followers and beyond. I didn’t know Alex, but that doesn’t mean his death didn’t affect me. I had planned to join the search effort tomorrow in Cheyenne, but hoped volunteers were not needed because he had come home.
But not like this.
Please, if you are dealing with a burden that seems too difficult to handle, reach out to someone. Reach out to someone on Tumblr. I’m sharing several numbers for hotlines and resources specializing in helping people get through a multitude of crises. There’s even an online crisis chat.
Sadly, it’s too late for Alex. But it may not be too late for someone else. My thoughts go out to his family, and it’s in his memory I share this information with all of you.
