He lived near Fort Hunt but went to Woodson since they had smaller class sizes.

I wasn't able to find anything on this, but since it just happened on Friday, might be too soon.

Looks like he turned his life around; last offense was 6 years ago. What are you fishing for?

How'd he do it? Any letter left behind or any reason why he would take his own life? It's truly a shame because he was fucking sexy.

This is not the place to come for information on a tragedy like this. You will get nothing but sarcastic gossip.

Prayers to the family of this person RIP

So sorry to hear that, it's a shame when young people take their own lives. It's a sign of the times really, people can't deal with life and end up taking their own. So very sorry to hear this, our prayers go out to the family and friends.

Not sure why anyone would even have a thread on this in the first place, but to winner he was a great person who made some mistakes. Didn't know you were so perfect, how dare you make a comment like that. James was AMAZING and suffered from depression. Some people can handle it and some cant. He is at peace now and that is all that matters.

I feel sorry for Winner! I hope he can find some joy in his life. The Gaffney's are good people. I didn't know James well, but when we crossed paths he always greeted me with a smile on his face and a friendly hello. Based on the the support and love shared by his friends and family he will certainly be missed.

How old was he? Did he ever attend school in the Mt. Vernon pyramid? I swear I taught him in 8th grade years ago. The name instantly rang a bell.

He was mid-20s? I went to school with his older brother, who went Stratford-Sandburg-WePo. Quite possible James went Whitman instead of Sandburg.

Thanks. I looked at the pictures in his obit online and I'm pretty sure this is the same James Gaffney I taught in 8th grade at Whitman. I'll double check my yearbook when I get home this evening. Also, obit says he was 27 which is exactly the right age for when I taught him.

So sorry to hear this news. Was coming to FFU for something completely unrelated and stumbled across this post right at the top of the forum.

Why does ANYONE want to ask why in an internet forum???? Regardless of the reason, people are hurting. Their family, friends, and others that knew him. Knowing the reason doesn't help lessen their pain. Also, reading through internet speculation certainly won't help them get through their grief. If you werern't close enough to know him, then there is no need for you to know the reason. Just pray for the ones who are left to pick up the pieces and forever miss him. Please respect their privacy, and offer up comforting words. If you can't do that, refrain from commenting.

WTG, bring up stuff on a deceased person. Get a life, and research someone else who CAN comment back.
