mojodean's quick thoughts

Why would a smart, personable, resolute, “happy-go-lucky” Kenny McKinley — with a college education, a young son, a $385,000 contract and a bright future in football and life — commit suicide Sept. 20, 2010?

Why? I think I understand why. I know an older man who eight years ago this month was committed to committing suicide. Me.

I had everything to live for, but wanted nothing more than to die. I was suffering from deep depression.

It turned out that I had diabetes, which causes low serotonin levels in the brain — and depression.

I am so fortunate. Allen and Gil were there when I needed help. They saved my life. I am not depressed. I never want to die.

In loving memory of Kenny McKinley, no longer ask “Why?” — ask “What can we do to save thousands of others in Colorado?”
