My uncle Jimmy was born this same year as your brother, and died, also by suicide, just two years later. Like your brother, he struggled with self-loathing even though he had a great family, and only felt comfortable after a couple cans of beer or a shot of Jack Daniel's, whichever was closer. This was probably one of the factors which caused his death, along with his wife moving with my cousins to be with her boyfriend.
