Here’s a picture of David Kellermann (which some are misspelling as David Kellerman) the long-time Freddie Mac executive who unfortunately killed himself recently in Fairfax County:
I heard the news of David Kellermann, only 41, killing himself on CNN today as I listened to Robin Meade. As acting CFO of Freddie Mac, it sounds like David Kellermann may have been in an temporary position as Freddie Mac searched for a permanent CFO — and no doubt facing untold pressures in such a visible position in a firm recently criticized on Capitol Hill for planned bonus payouts, which have been defended by others.
David Kellermann’s Freddie Mac profile says he was named CFO in September 2008 and reported directly to CEO David M. Moffett.
Please don’t kill yourselves over financial pressures…
…my heart goes out to the Kellermann family right now.
And just yesterday came the news of the man who killed himself and his wife and kids — though he earned $97,000 per year and hadn’t been laid off, I believe — they were in $490,000 worth of debt including his mortgage. But no debt or financial pressures are worth dying over.
We must know where we’re going…
People assume suicide is the easy way out –but it’s not! Especially if you’ve not sure where you’re going. These books I’ve been reading listed in my sidebar tell a horrible fate of those who don’t trust Jesus. Listen to me. You don’t want to go there.
Life doesn’t end, you don’t just go to sleep. You go to heaven or hell.
Make it heaven. Trust in God. Not in your pride. Lay it down, and the people who love you will still be there, no matter if you’re living in a box on the street it doesn’t matter just don’t kill yourself. All the money and cars and vacations and all that stuff doesn’t matter. Just keep living, start praying more and it will get better at some point.

I prefer to believe that if Christianity is correct, then it’s like it was when Christ was around–that suicide was not a ticket to hell, but was a way to demonstrate our willingness to leave the (relatively meaningless) temporal existence behind and be with Our Lord. If Christianity is not correct, and it’s just nothingness, then the pain is gone.
Of course, Augustine of Hippo (aka St. Augustine) and the Roman Catholic Church have tried to change Christianity since the first few centuries, but why should we believe that over the early days?
