Jonathan Brandis: Gone Away

One last goodbye on the fifth anniversary of your leaving us.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Mel didn't have a lyric sheet, so she's singing from the heart.

My laptop met an unfortunate end, so this may be my last video for a while. Enjoy!

I really loved your video it made me cry. He has always been my favorite actor. There is something about his eyes. Something kind. Wish I could have known him as a friend. I was in that place for a while when i was a teenager it is a very dark place to be. I really believe he had so much potential. So very sad.

@eireannfaerie Thank you. This is one of the most personal vids I made about Jonathan. As you can imagine, it was rough to make. He was what you remember - a gentle, caring, funny and intelligent man - and we who knew him miss him every day. Tanks again for dropping by.

...what more could be said? Another painful revisit for me...that moment...that week I replay over and over...and over...I don't think I will find any comfort ever...our last conversation...I probed something I felt was deep going on in his head...I jus didn't dig deep enough...i change dat,,,i didn't verbalise it...i should hav exposed that thought...not blinded...blocked and my own tragedy blinding me at the time...and he fking agreed everything was okkkkkkkkk..................fk­r.

@CareRegnumDei Don't blame yourself. Even Jonathan's parents missed the cues at the last. He'd had 'low' times before and gotten through them. How were we supposed to know this time was different? We can all agree now, after the fact, that something was wrong, but none of us really could have predicted that this would happen at the time. Even, I think, Jon himself.

Wow I miss his voice. Not that Ican't hear it on videos all the time, but that's not how I mean it. I miss his phone calls, I miss calling hima nd hearing his laughter and just talking. (I still have his #, But i can't reach him anymore>)Sometimes I wish Heaven had a phone, although I know once you're in Heaven you don't need a phone to communicate. SO, 111 was his very last right? or was it Puerto Vallarta?

[jonzfriend]

@sailingburd "111 Gramercy" was his last role, but, peculiarly, "Bad Girls from Valley High", made around 2000, was his last released film (and only on video.)

beautiful song, beautiful voice. u can tell it's from the heart.

So heartbreaking. This amazing young man felt such despare as to take his life...I can't find any articles that can make sense of this. Does anyone know if he suffered from depression, and if so, had he been seeking treatment? It's such a huge problem in the youth today and I wondered if that was a factor. I really don't believe that a lagging career as it has been called would have drove him to this...he seemed deeper than that. I pray for his peace every night.

Thanks for the video. Luv

Wonderful video for Jonathan. All these videos are good but still so sad to watch. He will always be in our hearts.>3

[ShinySecret]

This is so sad. I didn't even know him personally but I wish I had a time machine and I could go back and save him.
