ytter and his wild hair

ytter and his wild hair

Ytter-man my son took his life on Oct 31, 2009.
This not my sons name but anyone who knew him on-line knew him by this name. As does most of the family.

He loved trains; from the time he was old enough to walk, when a train went past his Grandmothers house he would go to the window to watch. He was an active member at Ribbon & Rails model railroad club. He also had a train layout in the basement, and had started a second smaller layout.

He liked to go with his father in the logging truck. He was 4 years old when we moved to Sidney.

He spent many Sunday afternoons taking train pictures and hours of train video on his computer.

His biggest thrill was when he went to Havre to see the Daylight Special #4449 (a steam train) come through. He felt all trains should be steam.

His other love was music he had a wide variety of music on his computer. Everything from rock to classic to country. He also liked to read as with his music his reading material was wide ranging. He was willing to discuss anything and had an opinion on most everything.

He left us too soon and will be missed by many.

Hi

I knew ytter_man through the various networks of online communities. He was a great contributor, he was always creative, always intuitive. I/We loved his work and his hobbies and how he would spend time sharing information and pic's with us. He was one of those who made the place what it ended up became, in all it's popularity/infamy.

I truly do wish he was still around, and that we had more time to spend with him. I don't feel particularly hurt by what happened, as it was something he was actually known to talk about and never spoke in a very sad way.

There was confusion, a kind of yearning for more, yet it wasn't typical. I truly wish he was still around in the form he was back then, but all his ideas and personality amounted to one thing, and that's the spirit that left his body that night.

So much love to him and all who knew him, there's nothing wrong or hurtful about him, I love him and give him peace.

I have a similar situation, although my son was not successful on Nov 24, 2009. I, in a way, also lost my son. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and is now completely blind. I am now taking care of him and trying to work full time.

I do have my son and feel very fortunate, but we have issues to deal with every day (decision making and awareness) that remind me of how unhappy I didn't know he was. He is a beautiful child but also a very different child. I found my child before the ambulance got there and pray that you do not have that mental picture. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.

miss you
by: MOM

It has been a tough road son, all the things you left undone, all the things you will miss, all things we will miss together.

I could yell and scream but right now that won't help. I plan to do a lot of camping this summer and have every intention of trying to fill the Yellowstone river with rocks.

I LOVE AND MISS YOU
Mom

To Jake
by: Brian Sather

Jake was my cousin. Because I was 17 years older than him, we didn't get to have the same childhood relationship as Eric, Jared, and I did, which is unfortunate. Still, I remember him as a little boy, completely infatuated with trains. I remember a particular time when I came home from college and he ran up and gave me a big hug.

I will remember all the talks we had over the more recent years when I would come back to Sidney from California. I got to tell him about our Grandfather, who he didn't know, and what it was like growing up around him. We also talked a lot about family and what it meant. I hope he knew that when I told him that I loved him and that although we lived different lives, far apart, that he was my cousin... and that is important.

Jake and my son were friends when they were little boys. My son lost his dad six weeks before Jake died. My wish is that Eric and Jake are riding those rails together. They both left us far too soon and we miss them terribly.
