Jonathon Brandis Dead

I didn’t remember his name, but Damn, did I remember his face. He was a major teenage crush of mine. It really is sad.

Actually, he was in NeverEnding Story II, not the first one. Barret Oliver was Bastian the first time around.

Absolutely right. I stand corrected.

I loved Jonathan Brandis ever since I saw him in The Never Ending Story Part II. It is tragic, sad & surprising but I guess all of us should heed this warning that just because someone is good-looking, wealthy and “seems fine”, any of us could be victims of suicide, whether it’s ourselves committing the act or someone we love or care about. Talk to people, ring helplines, join a group, ANYTHING. Suicide is NOT the answer. It is just so sad. There’s likely to be 100’s of people at Jonathan’s funeral. Any one of them would no doubt have gladly helped him through his darkest hours. Most people are just a phone call away… R.I.P. Jonathan. Hope you have found the peace you were looking for.
