Was at a wedding in California last night when a lady I grew up with asked me if I knew the Troost family from xxxx. She said they had just buried their son yesterday morning who happens to be within a months in age of my own son. She, I, and the Troost family grew up in a the same religious and cultural "clan" which has a presense in many parts of the U.S. I do not personally know the family.

 It was relayed that this gentleman was having some difficulties with life and that he was in Alaska by friends to help in what every healing process he was in need of. Supposedly a gun was found near his body which would point out why the troopers had ruled out foul play. 

Sadly it looks like he ended his own life putting two and two together. I'm not sure if this has been confirmed by AST yet or not. 

It is my prayer that Gods grace cover this family as I'm sure they are in a time of immense grief as would we all if we were in the same situation.  

Gods blessing on the Troost family.
