wife needs arrested and charged with wrongful dead

How many people think there is more to the story?

I believe the child endangerment was his wife calling the police during an argument and allegedly stating he hit her daughters (his stepchildren). Now, it’s coming out, he probably didn’t hit anyone. Men always presumed guilty. Tragic circumstances.

Disneyland is the homefront for pedofiles!!! Tweeter is exposing all of them as we speak. I wonder if this is why he plunged to his death at Disneyland!!!! People protect our kids!!!!

My condolences to these affected by this tragedy

Never know what someone is going through….

He did something bad that he couldn't live with and I'm sure it will be exposed soon enough.

Rest In Parking structure

Well looks like the 'happiest place on earth' wasn't happy enough to have an affect on him. 🤷‍♂️

Pretty strange, charged with child endangerment and battery and then asked to be remembered for all the good he did in education. Then to commit suicide where theirs a bunch of kids.

BickRandy omg he's the one jumped off parking garage where kids go.

Heartbreaking

Dam... that the 2nd suicide jump i know of. The 1st one was a neighborhood buddy of ours. That jumped off the Disney land hotel back in 1996. Over a chick 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

😳
