    I never met Andy
    but I felt the same way when I heard Jerry Garcia passed
    It was like I lost a good friend.
    Good to see with time people share more of him with us,he was loved by many as a artist.

    He passed away in my home town.
    Hes a big reason i do a lot of what i do. Seeing how his habits tore his life apart and how it effected his family. He is a big reason i changed my life. And here in Grapevine I honor him every year. My love goes out to the Irons family.

    Wow the way Lyndie talks. It was really good to listen to this thanks for sharing. Well it's just good to hear it from her rather than speculations. I guess it's because we are hearing it from someone who loved him. It's like she seems to be saying here; he died from surfing relentlessly; from getting the most out of that few days and putting the most he could into that few days.

    The death of Andy Irons is one of the saddest events in modern sports history. In worldly terms what did he not have? The guy was fit, good looking, amazingly talented, his wife was stunningly beautiful, and he had a son on the way. He lived in paradise, had the esteem of his peers and the adoration of surfers everywhere not to mention he spent his life traveling to exotic destinations and making a great living doing it. I don't know the ins and outs but Andy Irons dying in a hotel room in Texas wasn't part of the plan. His passing represents, to me, all that is sad about the human experience. If the speculation of substance abuse is more than speculation it teaches an important lesson. All the gifts in the world do not satisfy the longing of the soul. Character is just as important as ability. Andy had a surplus of ability but were his character flaws the cause of his demise? I pray and hope not. I hope it really was dengue fever. But of course wish it was neither and he was still with us.

      it wasn't dengue fever.

      Andy Irons died of a heart attack
      caused by the hardening of his coronary arteries

    • @nextari
      @nextari 10 років тому +6

      Excellent and poignant start, but you stray when you question Andy's character. We are all on a path, and that path is different for each. We all make the best decisions we know how to do. No one is perfect, so the word "flaws" in relation to character implies that somewhere there lies some perfection, which is untrue. Yes, it's tragic for all that this seemingly perfect picture was so abruptly changed, and by decisions he made. It is apparent that you are grasping for a simple fix to the painful situation, so that you can put your mind at rest and sweep it away. But in your disparaging attempt at questioning Andy's character, you display the thinness of your own; judging others. Just feel, no explanation needed. It seems to me that the most potent message we can garner is "take profound care of those around you, and take time to reach out and really inquire as to how they are doing". also, "stay far away from white powders and other addictive drugs", regardless. Anything else is a presumptuous reach for meaning that Andy and his loved ones and family do not deserve.

    • @nextari
      @nextari 10 років тому +1

      My friend, I am saying to love people while they are here because you don't know when they will be gone.
      I speak of profoundly caring in a sense of, well, the feeling everyone had when they heard about Andy. no other meaning implied.

    He should have had the perfect life. He depended on the ocean as therapy, but it wasn’t good enough. He needed to know the lord and have faith in God. So sorry for the sad ending of his life. I hope more of the surfing community turns to God. They’re so many sad stories. Sunny Garcia is another sad story with a perfect “surfing life in paradise”. What else can you say. God can heal the broken hearted person. Living a simple life in Hawaii won’t fulfill you either.

    I think Lyndie was an enabler to Andy. She knew what he was doing and just protected him and allowed him to continue what he did. His friends and family all knew he was a big druggie but what can they do? He was a grown man. Lyndie should have given him an ultimatum and maybe Andy would have kicked the habit. Who knows.??.

      Only when you walk in their shoes can you judge. Unfortunately it is incredible hard to help a drug dependent, (or any 'dependent') person. You can only try to guide them to a place where they want to help themselves. And it can break your heart wanting to help but not being able to. This is from experience.
