RIP John "yellowenzo123"

Especially dangerous when combined with alcohol.

A Pharmacist's take on it:

I didn't know John so I could be wrong but I think I remember reading that he owned some sort of helicopter business and he also received an inheritance from the Wrigley bubble gum fortune.

 

Yes his mother was a Wrighley.

 

Yes, one of his greatest passions was helicopters.

 

That's big time!

May he R.I.P...So he was only 32? Way to young to pass but it sounds like he lived life to the fullest.

 

John was a truly good person. He will be greatly missed.

RIP

Any charities that he might have wanted donations sent to in lieu of flowers you are aware of?

 

I get migraines/headaches really often, this is why I was so shocked to here this.

 

Wow, still can't get over so I keep reading this thread over and over

 

What a sad story. RIP John.

 

RIP John

Sad to hear.

 

Part 2:06 in that video is interesting.

 

The drug companies aren't the problem IMO. The people prescribing it are. Take adderall for example. Instead of parents doing their job and parenting, they send their kid off to the Psych and meds are prescribed. More and more kids are being prescribed to meds, and society continues to spiral downwards...Hmmm maybe it's time to change course. People get meds because they are depressed. In extreme cases I understand, but for the most part it's for the weaklings. Life is full of ups and downs, that is what it's about. When people get the notion that life should only be a high then they are destined for perpetual disappointment. It's a lot easier to throw money at something or take a pill than it is to "man up" and deal with whatever you are faced with. My opinion.

 

I have to give props to the guy for this. There is nothing wrong with a trust fund or an inheritance. The problem is 90% of the trust funders are trust fund babies who pose and act as if they earned it through blood sweat and tears. I prefer the 10% who have no shame in admitting where it came from. When you act like you earned it and you didn't, you take it away from the people who did. That is why I give my middle eastern friends a hard time. They all play executive and act like they are big shots, instead of being humble and honest about their origins.

 

I agree. I sort of short changed my overall message because I didn't want to get on a politically charged tangent and take away from the main focus of this thread. Having suffered from severe depression I know how easy it is to want the "easy" way out. I chose to battle it on my own.

Parents are idiots these days. No one here of course.

 

Spare me please. There are many very good parents who responsibly use medication to help their children have a more normal and productive childhood. While a small few of these kids stay with the medication for life, the majority go off of it as their minds and bodies mature to a level where they can deal with the issue at hand by other means, such as your "man up" proposition. For many kids, the ability to "man up" does not yet exist for them, which is why they are called kids and not men or women. Do you have any kids with such problems to make this judgement you are making?

 

I remember exchanging a few PMs with him about helicopters and he definitely seemed like he was passionate about them. I really respect people that share their passions with other people, whether it be sharing stories and photos online or letting someone else drive their cars. He seemed like a great guy and I regret that I didn't get a chance to meet him in person. A friend of mine hung out with him once and had nothing but great things to say about John.

RIP

 

+1!

 

How do you mature a mind in any way when you numb it from being able to experience negative emotions? All you end up doing is training their mind to numb negative emotions with drugs instead of experiencing and dealing with them.

 

This is terrible news.
My most sincere condolences to his family.

I never met him, but my best friend grew up with him, and was friends throughout childhood. He will be very sad when I tell him the news!


RIP John.

 

Please move your flippant misunderstandings to another topic.

On Topic:

While my interactions with John were quite brief and only online, those of you who knew him better have greatly reinforced my opinion of him. Thank you for that. He will be greatly missed by many.

RIP

 

I wanted to get in this thread earlier, but a ban got in my way.

John and I had friends in common from RPV in HS. We bumped in to each other at the Terminal Island drag strip when he was 18, right after getting his F40, but never exchanged info, only to find out years later he remembered my dad from the track (it was in his jurisdiction), and vice versa.

He would call me all hours of the night, sometimes for 6 hours at a time and just when the sun came up, we'd meet for a bite to eat, not saying anything to each other after the long exhaustive conversations. Other times he'd disappear and hit me up on AIM. He kept a lot of his friends compartmentalized so when you hung out with him, you were the center of the universe.

I think one great instance of John was outside Playboy TV with two other Fchatters. It was opening night for 300 and the taping was delayed, so John decided he'd better be with a business partner. John drove the other guys there in his Bentley and called himself a cab. "you guys take the Bentley, I'll be fine". We tried, but you could not argue with him.

I invited him to that lol The after the Bullrun TV party was more fun. Here is a pic, you can't see miss Morgan because she snatched the Grey Goose from John's hands and downed it! In the back is the DTM, he found a pair of homeless guys and paid them very well to watch his car. That they did, and he gave them even more money. Sometimes he was generous to a fault.

One time I was in the B with him and I asked him what he thought of taking the Car-Parazzi kids around. "When I was their age I wished someone would have taken me for a drive in a Bentley."
