It makes no sense.

No it doesn't but on the other hand none of us is guaranteed a long life either.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Man that is young. RIP Jimmy

 

[KnightofBoston]

Very sad. RIP

 

[Richard Lather]

Absolutely awful. May he rest in peace and may his friends and family heal the best they can.

 

[JRull86]

Didn't he have a heart issue a few years ago?

So tragic, way too young.

 

[Ladyfan]

So we can all learn from this. Don't say terrible and mean things because you may regret it.

People need to be kinder to others.

No words.

Very tragic news, not only for him being so young, but also for his kids.

This was from the Fourth of July.

[Gee Wally]

Again, I STRONGLY STRESS no speculation.

His friends, family, alumni and representatives read this site.

Every day is precious guys .enjoy each day. Never complain. You have your health your rich more then rich. Rest in peace jimmy. It will be hard for family especially so young.

I actually thought he seemed like he had a promising career in the hockey media business, too.

A few years back I think I had seen him in the seaport district, if I was closer I would have probably said hi. Not that has any importance, it's just that connection seeing the players out there as real people, doing their thing.

Always wish he worked out here better than he did, but definitely really sad news either way. I was hoping when the thread was first locked that it wasn't true... but then it was reopened.

Again, my condolences to any friends and family out there.

The bold.

Honestly I thought he has a shot at getting with the espn crew. Between his work on the Missin Curfew podcast and his insider info (Jimmy Scoops), I too thought he had a promising future ahead of him on the media side of the game. He certainly had the personality for it.

So sad man. Just can’t even begin to comprehend this. Heartbroken.

RIP

31 is way too young to die

[Bridges31]

Absolutely terrible news.

 

[Over the volcano]

That’s just heartbreaking. Way too soon, and too much for a young family to have to face.

I was pretty excited to see if he'd do some gigs on ESPN or even on NESN for Hockey East. His personality was infectious and he knew his stuff.
