Hi, my name is Ashley Arroyo... Yes, I know my name isn't Jack Dawson but I'm his friend, I'm the friend he's writing this book about actually. I hate to post this on social media but... Jack has passed away... My best friend, my family, my GBF, my everything, has committed suicide tonight, on 5/9/17... He was only 19 years old but lost his life at such a young age. Jack... he was a gay guy, living on this planet... trying to find true love but he had killed himself because he was gay... only because he liked the same gender.. I myself am part of the LGBT community since I'm bisexual and it hurts to know not only my best friend, GBF, family, and my everything has died but a fellow soldier of this army we have, the LGBT army, has died due to the war we are fighting between us and those who hate us. We have a fallen soldier and I just wish that this goddamn war would end because we have lost to many soldiers due to this war and I myself don't know how I can handle it. Jack was the brightest person I knew other than my grandmother. He always wore a bright smile, a loud contagious laugh. I met him when I was 8 and he was 13. He was playing with his cousin, who is currently my backyard neighbor and I went outside to play with my nephews. He smiled at me and every weekend I would see him playing with his cousin. Soon... I asked him if he would be my friend though I highly doubted he would, due to the age difference but he actually said yes. We grew up together... and even before we met he was already out the closet. A couple years pass and now I'm older, and I had told him I was bisexual. He obviously had no problem with that. Then a couple months after I had told him I was bisexual he asks me, "Ashley whats a spontaneous way to come out the closet?" I knew he was telling me I needed to come out sooner or later. I never told my parents but I did tell the world. So my spontaneous way of coming out was to post on social media that I was bisexual. I'll admit, many of my 'friends' left while others stayed. He helped me through all the hate I recieved... He was always there. Through every anxiety attack, through everything. He actually told me two weeks ago, "Ashley no matter what, I want the book The Gangleader and Me to finish. I want it to go on like originally and end like how I wanted it. Not matter what, please do that for me." I should've spotted something then, but I just thought it was stress getting to him or something. I didn't think he was going to do what he did today.. I'm here to tell you, this book will go on but not by Jack unfortunately. I will continue it on this account because he... he was the one who wanted this and I obviously am going to give him what he wants... R.I.P. Jack Dawson. I love you so much, you were always like family to me. I hope you are in a better place, happy and no longer hurting. I love you, my everything...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌈
