| I'm just going to pop up here to express my condolences. I didn't know Kevin, I arrived after it happened but.. I'm sorry. People should never have to go through something like this, and should never be driven to those sorts of actions. |

Actually I was wondering myself about whether or not it was staged.

| I'm not sure. I mean do we have any evidence that it was staged? I mean, it's all speculation unless we have some sort of reason to prove it. |

It is with a very sad heart that I write this, but Kevin Cosby, better known to most sentries as GetMeOut, passed away on Thursday evening. Though I know some of us felt that this was a very real possibility, I know that we all had hopes for a different explanation for his sudden absence on the forums.
I happened to reach his father who was at Kevin's apartment collecting some of his favorite things and reflecting on the life his son had been building. We spoke for a good long time, I think he enjoyed having the opportunity to talk about Kevin. He's extremely proud of his son and, it was very obvious when I was talking to him, just where Kevin got his passion and humor. I could hear Kevin's anger, frustration, and pure love for life in his dad's stories. I was a bit taken back by it all and, at times, it felt like I was talking to Kevin.
The family was notified of his passing early Friday morning which, at least, gave me some peace that he hadn't been there for some time. They've made arrangements for a private memorial at a beach where Kevin and his family spent much of their summers. His father passed on a story about a young Kevin building a model of himself in the sand that was the full width of the beach and declaring to his dad that it was "better than Heaven, it's Kevin on Earth." They knew then that they had a handful and it seems to give them some peace that they'll be releasing his ashes there.
I know that some of you will be concerned about accessing the files on Kevin's computer and, though we didn't speak of it specifically, it will be at least a few weeks before they clear out Kevin's apartment. They would like some time to adjust to the loss before dealing with all the business that goes with death and they will be spending that time at the beach where they have so many happy memories.
I will keep this post open to comments for those of us that would like to remember Kevin by sharing thoughts and memories that we have on them, but I do ask that we keep it respectful. Suicide is a personal choice and it often leaves those left behind angry at that choice.
And, please, if you are considering suicide, please seek help. Kevin's father and I are both struggling with the fact that he didn't reach out to us, as I'm sure many of you are. No matter how hopeless it feels and how determined you are, it's good to talk it out with someone. If you aren't comfortable sharing with a friend, please contact the National Hopeline Network at 1(800)SUICIDE.

I really didn't know Kevin, but still, it is sad whenever anyone does something like this. I feel horrible. Still considering what has been going on nowadays, I have to wonder if this wasn't really a homicide staged to look like a suicide. In his last posts, was there any indication at all? You cant be days or hours away from killing yourself, and not leave some sign of it.

Jesus...It's been two mother-fucking years now Kevin..
...we miss you...we miss all you guys...
I've been sitting up tonight, and thinking about how fucked up this whole thing has gotten, and I'll tell you what -- I've come to a pretty definitive conclusion here:
It's really fucked up.
I mean, we knew things were bad when you were here...but you wouldn't believe how shitty things are now...
...we're scattered, lost, and fucking scared man....fucking scared...
the outpost is fucking falling apart...
fuck...
...
Here's to you, Kev...

Two and a half years. The sentries are... what, gone? Dead? Captured, brainwashed? Moved on with their lives, forgotten the dead? I'm beginning to think that me, Obs, and crew know how the last, clinging residents of Centralia, Pennsylvania feel. I'm going to spend the next few days trying to go over everything. We must have missed something.

Today is officially the three-year anniversary of what I now think of as the "black swan incident", and the day we lost Kevin. Looking back it's all such a blur -- it seems like everything happened at once, and at the end of it, we'd lost a friend.
I wish I could say we'd won, Kevin, and that we'd gotten those motherfuckers and served up some good old fashioned justice for you -- but I can't. We're only just barely hanging on these days, the few of us that are left.
We're still thinking of you, man (maybe less often than we'd like to admit), and those of us that are still here will keep on looking and fighting and trying to make things right, if we can.
Peace out dude,
Tell Patrick Swayze I think "She's Like the Wind" is fucking awesome.
