I had a bad feeling in my stomach that it was suicide, but regardless it's still a tragedy. **Update: Reliable sources from twitter are reporting that suicide was the cause of death.

Tribute to Rick Rypien (Bro Hymn-Pennywise) It's the Ducks and Flyers goal song, and also written about their band mate who took his own life. I changed the lyrics accordingly:
To our friend, Present past and beyond Even though you weren't with us too long your Life is the most precious thing you can lose While you were here the fun was never ending Laugh a minute only the beginning Rick Rypien, this one's for you
Wooooaoooah Woooah Woooah Wooah
Ever get the feeling you can't go on Just remember whose side it is that you're on You've got friends with you till the end If you're ever in a tough situation We'll be there with no hesitation Brotherhood's our rule we cannot bend
Wooooaoooah Woooah Woooah Wooah
When you're feeling too close to the bottom You know who it is you can count on Someone will pick you up again We can conquer anything together All of us are bonded forever If you die i die that's the way it is
Wooooaoooah Woooah Woooah Wooah
To all my friends, Present past and beyond To all those who weren't with us too long Life is the most precious thing that you can lose While you were here the fun was never ending Laugh a minute was only the beginning Rypien my brother this one's for you.
