My favorite.

Always liked his fighting style, sad to see him go.

Suicide is so tough on the family and loved ones left behind. RIP and thoughts & prayers for his family.

But sad to hear that it was suicide… also heard from a few MSM Tweeps that this was the case.

Rypien has been a manic depressive for a long time and had to take leaves to deal with it. I was pulling for him and actually wanted him as an Oiler for his toughness. Very sad. Depression is an invisible killer.
