Now...I don't have any details yet.

For those of you that may not know, he was a good friend of mine, he was actually my boss in Columbus Ohio.

Still waiting to hear what happened. I just got an invitation to a "Celebration of Life" in his honor, but no further info.

He was a good dude and will be missed.

I will post up info as I get it

our family and extended has suffered loss recently, it's sad.

Please tell me it's not that guy... didn't his grandmother just pass?

peace

:(

was dealing with some situation with his grandmother.

That really sucks, we had our differences but he was super young, wasn't he in like his early or mid 30s?

Ran into him years back.

Seemed like he was looking for friends... hung out once but was on my own shit at the time...

I really hope this isn't what it's sounding like...

We used to chat regularly when he was in my league. Seemed like when he was in cle and cbus he had a huge crew and support network.

Just damn

condolences if anyone from here is close to him

he was a good dude
i remember him as a poster vaguely
but i do remember him

rip to him

the purest breed. very sad to hear about this.

Well that and the strange-bedfellows alliance of Lakers and Cavs fans post-"decision" Lebron.

He took his own life a few weeks ago.

You never know what people are going thru, no matter how close you may think you are.

I knew he wasn't happy...but damn...

Depression is NO joke.

.

It seemed like he was making career moves and doing all right, maybe a little off or goofy or whatever but that just seemed like his personality from what I have read here over the years.

Last I saw him post he was going back to Ohio because his grandmother was very sick. How terrible for his folks, to lose two people so close to them from two completely generations.

That is really sad.

you couldnt tell from his posts
i see that he went to israel
and really enjoyed it

im so sorry to hear and learn this
smh

don't take that the wrong way, it hurts like hell to hear this news about anyone but given the strict view against killing anyone in judaism it's really crushing to learn someone made this decision.

like you said i knew he took that trip and moved to l.a., i would have guessed things were looking up for him. he always kind of struck me as lonely, i guess. we also don't know about his personal health, that always plays a factor. very sad.

something like this happens and you always wonder what you could have done

I'm sorry this happened to radin and also for you since you knew him

passed away. I thought that he was just mourning her death. i had no idea that he was depressed. i wish i'd known:

Thank you for your kind words. I've kind of cut myself off from society the past few days. Just logged on today to see what's going on in the world but in truth probably shouldn't even be posting right now. Hope you have a great weekend!

situation and there was obviously no indication he was in trouble himself. we had kind of a blow up here (think it was deleted) but immediately after he posted this news and i talked to him a bit about it. obviously he was stern and a little distraught but again he said he was close to his grandmother and it was a race against time to see her alive. so i figured that was what was weighing on him, just like you did.

he was an OG member of the famed OKP survivor basketball league.

One year he didnt like a call I made as commish and was like fuck it Im leaving...Like that he left, and never came back. Thats kinda they style I remember him posting with too. I didnt agree with the moral highground he took sometimes, but in my exp-- he wasnt one to keep bitching--he'd just take his ball and leave, and I respected that.

i did it for a year and while my team was successful (won a division, went to semi finals) it was dumb luck because i drafted well and my guys stayed healthy. those dudes are deep into it. i still dont fully understand the scoring.

fuck that just happened to a parent of a student at my school who graduated last year. Awesome woman who I really got to know and wanted to model my parenting style after. Her son is amazing. One of two kids Ive worked with in my career who im like--I want my son to turn out like this.

Anyhow nobody woulda thought or knew she was depressed except those closest to her, sucks.

condolences to everyone who knew him

if there's anything we can do. Like, here on OKP.

Like a safe-inbox or something. I dunno.

Granted, I understand that depression runs so much deeper than a message in an inbox.

But when things like this happen, you just wonder if something like that could have made a difference.

I don't know...Just rambling.

Peace to him and his family.

Damn. I hate hearing things like this.

You get to know a screen name, but not much of the real person. Are you comfortable sharing anything?

Rest in peace.

but he moved to this area somewhat recently right?

This one does.

Fuck man, RIP.

he seemed like a cool dude. to anyone that knew him, sorry for your loss. sad shit.

He reached out to me in 2004 or 2005 on here thru inbox because his job was to run a marketing campaign in Columbus. He offered me the job. Had a really good time working for him.

He was fair
Friendly
Compassionate
Understanding
All about business


Can't say enough good things about him

Never ever got the impression that he was lonely, (like some people on here have said), but you never know.

Obviously I moved a few times as did he, so we kind of lost touch in real life.....

I feel so fucked up because it happened weeks ago. If not for that event, I wouldve never known

Very sorry for your loss. It's "our" loss, but while I'm affected, it's considerably less personal for myself than it is for you.

.

understanding, peace and courage to those he leaves behind and who feel his loss.

and while i'm at it i'm praying for all of y'all. charter, newbie, regular, lurker, and all of your peoples.

peace & blessings,

x.

** i move away from the mic to breathe in

We used to talk so much shit to each other when Lebron was in Cleveland

whether it was where to get the best used books, the best vegetarian friendly places in Columbus, or which liquor stores didnt check IDs too closely...


I'll miss you, man.

O-H!

I've traveled far and wide through many different times...

pretty nice dude overall, this sucks.

I got into it a few times with him over whether or not Phil Ivey was the GOAT...he said it's not possible since he never won the main event.

Fuck.

RIP.

"If your soul loves the sun...money, rock on!"

every okp I've ever kicked it with has been cool (even they who shall not be named), and when I chop it up with yall on here on a multitude of topics I frequently think "This is someone that I'd get along with" and I've never been wrong yet.

I never met radin, but we had inboxed on a few different occasions. Like many of you have said, this is the first okp death to really hit me.

I've donated to help people in need on here. I went (briefly) to the NYC RE:. I talk to yall more frequently than most members of my family. This community means a lot to me, I'm not gonna pretend that it's just a messageboard. Having gone to school 1,000 miles from where I live, I don't get to see my close friends very often. On a week to week basis, most of the people that I hang out with are people I met through here.

I'm rambling, but I just wanted to say this in closing: On a daily basis, this place makes my day better. Thank you all for that from the bottom of my heart.

..and miles to go before i sleep...

This is too deep. Sometimes on the boards things can get really heated and people use harsh words with each other. He was one of our own. This makes me just completely stop and reevaluate how i speak to others, online and in person and what impact my words can have on them. You never really know what a person is going through. Lord knows, I've battled depression myself over the last few years and pulled through, even through the nights when i didn't want to wake up.

I didn't know this brotha well. I recognized his screen-name, but this thread has made an impact on me. This is awful news.

My condolences to his friends and loved-ones.

OMG MY FRIEND!!! :(((((((

I didn't know him and not even sure if we had interactions on here... But damn... suicide is just never the answer... Bomb brought up how OKP is a community more than other message boards... A lot of times, I don't feel like I'm part of that community, but I do know if I ever made a post here and asked for help, I know someone here would respond... I know someone would be willing to help... I don't know if that's true of other message boards...

We all love OKP for laughs, crazy ass stories, discussion, debates, etc... I've seen two RIP posts in the past few weeks and this place really comes together to pay some form of respect... Bomb was right, this place is very much a community... And even though some, including I, don't always feel part of it, we are all part of it...

Like I said, I never knew Radin and can't remember any particular interaction between us... But his death honestly saddens me...

He was good people. One of the only OKPs who actually enjoyed and tried to support my shitty music. R.I.P.

<--- Blind faith

as best as you/we can. this is a big reminder to constantly check in/provide support with a student of mine who confided in me the unaddressed trauma she's carrying within her. the day after our initial emotional talk she came back to say she had no nightmares the night before, and slept well.

I don't know if he was telling the truth but he once posted that his cousin was Joshua Radin the zach braff movie soundtrack musician. I checked his twitter to see if he mentioned anything but nada. Don't know if they really are related, but either way, I really liked Radin. He had strong opinions and I respected the guy. This is really sad news. :(

:(

and my heart go out to you and his family

I'm sure the place is full or family friends admirers....everyone who loved him. Its a shame they all has to come together this way

Alot of ppl cared about him, I just wish he could've seen that.

Bless his fam and friends.
