I have learned that when someone close to your life dies, it's hard - we all know that - but when the life was taken on purpose by that person them self, the grieving is unlike a "normal" death. Not only do we feel the pain of his death but also the pain of what he did. You want to ask them "why" but you know it's too late. It's a shocking and sharp feeling that leaves you feeling numb.
He had a family, though very broken. Pray specifically for his 3 teenage sons. They need Jesus and especially so now. Your prayers are appreciated.

Tears
Sherry DePolis
When sorrow leaves you nothing but emptiness inside
And all you have the will to do is break down and cry
There’s a resting place in Jesus for broken hearts to mend
And beyond this world of sadness we will never cry again
Tears, he’ll wipe away the tears some glorious day
That fall from the windows of your soul
Tears will never stain his throne tears will all be gone
From the fountain, where the broken spirits go
Lay your burdens down at Calvary when all your strength is gone
Jesus will never leave you to bear the cross alone
And someday there’ll be no sorrow beneath his watchful eyes
For heaven has no broken hearts and the angels never cry

Dear Otterson family,
With grief did I read this news. It's indeed very sad to see a dear one leave you, especially the way he did...
I hope and pray that in this grieving moments you may find comfort "under His wings".
May He heal John's family as well and give them eternal Salvation through our Saviour, the Lord Jesus -to each one of them-. I hope and pray that all this comes out to be an Eternal blessing for all.
Much love in our Lord Jesus,
Andreu Escuain
