Why did Jeni kill himself? Anyone have an idea?

It is so sad that public figures who we find incredibly gifted and funny, who seem to be on top of the world, have their demons just like the rest of us. I cannot even begin to comprehend what he must've been going through. His family's statement does remind us all to have the compassion needed for those who suffer.

I didn't know of him either so I certainly missed out. What a well written, brave and informative article by his family. Their love for Richard shines through. My prayers are with his family and friends today.

Does someone have a link to some of his work so I could read it?

Saw him at Gator Growl in Gainesville and all of us were laughing our gator tails off!
