Very sad news.

Based on his 'last thread' (http://tinyurl.com/4tchj) he had already
found Unibiker Heaven.

Let's take the advice of his sig line:

Too bad. He seemed like a nice guy, and added some interesting variety
to the forum with his "unibike." We'll miss you, Jeff.

I will post this slightly editted corespondence with Jeff Meyers, who
was kind enough to answer my email, in order to address our inquiries
concerning the untimely death of Jeff Baker, known to us as Unibiker.
Sorry to bring you this sad news but it will clarify things for those
who are curious. Then we can let this thread and Jeff go to rest.

My e-mail:

Jeff-

Sorry to bother you. What was the cause of death for Jeff? As UniBiker,
he was an innovative guy on our unicycling forum and just seemed to
disappear after awhile. His no-hands riding creations and skills were
interesting to the forum population and to me in particular. The forum
members are curious as to the details if you are comfortable and at
liberty revealing them.

Thanks for any further info. So sorry to hear of the loss of your
friend.

-Greg Harper

Jeff's reply:

Greg-

It's no bother, Jeff was my good friend I've known him since I was 9
years old. Although I am not into unicycles we've ridden motorcycles for
some 30 years.

Jeff has been having some trouble for awhile, much deeper than any of us
knew. The V.A. hospital had been treating him for post traumatic stress
and depression then all at once about 2 months ago took him off all his
meds. He lived with my parents for about a month and every thing seemed
fine.

Well, I guess we were all wrong and Thursday night (December 30, 2004)
he killed himself. I have always thought that people who committed
suicide were weak and stupid. Anybody that knew Jeff knows that he was a
very smart man and he was far from weak. In fact I don't think in 30
years I ever heard him complain about anything other than the aches and
pains caused from having so much fun. This is probably a lot more info
than you wanted but I feel the world has lost a great person and he will
be missed.

Thanks for your condolences.
Jeff Myers

thanks, jeff myers.

my email is [email hidden] *

It's really sad that he's gone. I never knew him as a person but his
posts and innovative approach were always memorable.

It takes a lot to appear unique and innovative on a board full of people
who ride unicycles.

I'm glad he thought a lot of this site, and hope that the responses here
are some help to you in coping with this.

Thanks also for passing on the news.

RIP Unibiker

i know this must be tragic to unibiker's family and friends. its hard
to lose someone that is close, no matter how they die. often people see
suicide as nothing more than a person trying to find an easy way out of
a hard problem but in many cases, and very likely in unibiker's case, it
is the result of much thought and planning. if unibiker decided that he
no longer wanted to be a part of this world, no one can say that he made
the wrong decision. i feel very sorry for his friends and family, but
am happy to know that unibiker found a way out of the suffering he was
going through and that he is no longer comfined in a world that could
not make him happy. unibiker will be greatly missed.
