If I'm donating money, I need to know.
-
Who the fuck donates $4?
-
Doesn't matter the amount IronGrip....any amount will do.
-
I feel sad................he was a great radio host, seemed like a nice dude...........
Cause of death?
RIP
-
Taylor was one of the good guys. He loved the sport and the industry, pursued that passion, and made a career out of it. Very sad for his wife, and his 4 year old son he leaves behind.
No one knows cause of death yet. His wife walked in and found him dead with no outward signs of why.
-
RIP

The Vince Goodrum death curse strikes again......who's next?

Please don't joke like this. He was a longtime friend and I definitely didn't want to this to happen. There's a lot of snakes in the bodybuilding industry and then there was people like Taylor around who made you proud to be there.
-
That must have been one heavy ass cycle or fucked up gear.
-
Poor guy
Did he had life insurance?

So we donate money to her now and find out later she killed him?

vince are you unaware of your reputation? Anything you post about is going to be scrutinized and tarnished with negative comments because of the reputation you carry. If you truly cared about this man please don't attach your name to his in any form. You have no class
-
Brutal. :-\
so you're not donating to Gene's mortgage payments fund?
-
:-\
-
Why does he need donations if he is dead? ???
Its for his wife and kids, TA to cover medical, funeral cost, etc.
-
Poor guy
Did he had life insurance?
Taylor was only around 28 years old. so any insurance he may have had would not have matured at this point....definitely not enough to cover expenses.
For those up here who donated, I appreciate it sincerely. He was a straight up good guy.
-
PED.
-
What was his username on here?
If he was an active member here, I'll gladly sticky the thread for those who knew him to share memories.
I've never heard of the guy, but RIP.
"1"

Heartless but truthful.
Who was this guy & why should people who never met him give him money?
The ONLY reason Melvin Goodrum started this thread is because Aaron asked him to & Melvin does whatever Aaron asks or he gets no free supplements & kickbacks.
Basically folks, this is Melvin Goodum kissing Aaron's ass to serve himself. He couldn't care less about this guy.
-
You don't have to know him. I'm asking for you guys to donate because he was MY friend....so do it for me because I actually respected the guy. If you don't wish to donate, then that's your business but don't go twisting it into something that it obviously isn't. Some of you guys have no shame

Fuck off you freeloading piece of crap.
He wasn't your friend. You're using a dead man & his family to win brownie points with Aaron.
Talk about having no shame.
Really, GO FUCK YOURSELF you low life piece of garbage.

A friend u never spoke of before. This thread is not heartfelt

Cause of death was alluded to here:
From Ken 'Skip' Hill
"It is with a heavy heart that I post what a lot of you have already heard on social media earlier today. I understand that Taylor succumbed to depression as he had dealt with depression on and off for a while. As I stated on social media, most of us have a line that we hope to never get to and unfortunately, Taylor was there.
In the last few years I have come to see suicide in a completely different light and I understand that a lot of us have had these thoughts when life becomes overwhelming at times. I would like to think I would push through but I can't be sure what I would do when faced with a situation that feels hopeless. Taylor was an incredibly kind and laid back person. He will not be remembered for ever being a dick to anyone on the internet or in person. My thoughts go out to his son, to Rachelle and to Taylor's parents at this incredibly difficult time.
Skip"
It wasn't bad gear or a bad ticker, but depression.
-
This guy would like you to donate for him
-
Vince, was it suicide?
-
(http://www.secretentourage.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/BlackStoneLabs-63.jpg)
$50,000 goal
This is the guy who set it up.
Surely he could afford to cover the costs? $50,000 would be nothing to him.

Melvin "Vince" Goodrum
How come you hide your donation Vince?
-
I have zero sympathy for people who kill themselves, especially those who chose to bring others into this world only to selfishly leave them.
Fuck him. The money would be better spent elsewhere. Maybe a new Tart Pan or a Fish Spatula.
-
In retrospect, it may have been wiser to set this up when you there was more information (i.e. cause of death, charities which are related to the cause etc.).
Seeing as how he was an employee of Aaron's new right hand man at Redcon1, hopefully they are leading the donations.
-
No life insurance? Nothing to help his family if he passed away? I bet he drove a nice car but couldn't be bothered to pay for life insurance. Why does Aaron need donations? I thought singerman was a millionaire? Why did he organize this fundraiser? Couldn't he just pay for it all by himself??
you are a fucking idiot and a piece of shit...if i met you i would kick you in your vagina

Whether you knew the guy or not, could you have just a shred of decency, and not have a pissing match in a guy's RIP thread.
-
Yes, because without those supplements Melvin would LLS.

This isn't a RIP thread.
We didn't know him.
That's not a heartless thing to say - this is a Vince thread, imploring us to donate to a fund started by someone who claims to be a very wealthy person himself.
Now, if the truth is that he is standing in front of rented automobiles, in front of a rented house, by all means, perhaps we'll open the wallet - but the whole situation sounds a little "off" as it is - given the fact this guy apparently sacrificed everything for his son, but then decided to off himself and leave the kid and wife in the lurch.

:-\ from his blog
"The reason I was in the hospital was pretty grim, and probably going to be hard to summarize the whole situation in a few sentences. I suffered from clinical depression throughout my teen years off and on, I hid it from my friends and buried it in a "happy go lucky" attitude and tons of subtance and alcohol abuse. I was never addicted to any specific drug or booze, but was addicted to getting as messed up as possible and trying anything i could get my hands on really. It never controlled my life and I was not a burn out by any means, I just liked to get high and weekends were usually spent tripping on something or getting black out drunk.
When I was 22, my depression came back to me hard. I was not taking care of myself mentally and a "perfect storm" occurred in my life and by the time I realized how far down I was, it was too late. I remember one night I just couldn't sleep and was just crippled mentally, just snapped pretty much. Couldn't work or do anything. I saw doctors and was loaded on a bunch of different stuff that spun me into more anxiety and after a long few weeks I had stored up enough of the prescription drugs that were potentially fatal (I did my research).
One day my brain just went from "I'm going to take all of them next week", next week turned into tomorrow, and within an hour or two it dawned on me that I was going to do it that very day. I downed about 35-40oz of vodka and used it to swallow all of the pills, which was over double what was documented as a fatal dose. I threw in a crapload of the other pills as well for good measure, threw on my headphones, wrote my letter, left a message on my parents phone and closed my eyes with absolute 100% certainty they wouldn't open again.
Thankfully, they did. My parents got the message shortly after and called an ambulance. I can honestly say it wasn't a cry for attention, there wasn't a single part of me that thought I would survive.
I can't relate to feeling like that anymore, it's hard to think back on. Anyways, I had my stomach pumped and drank that lovely overdose charcoal stuff they make you drink, and was locked up in ER for 2 days. I have vague memories of ripping out all my IVs as I was so mad that I was still alive and was also just completely blacked out from all the crap I put in my body.
Three days later my brain snapped back to reality and I was in the psych ward. I spent 2 weeks reading, thinking, and writing music. They could tell I was not a threat like some of the other patients and let me have my guitar and kind of do as I please.
After 2 more days they let me leave for 2 hours a day to go train, and my parents brought me lots of good food to eat. I am not a conventionally religious man and I think organized religion is a major problem, but after that experience I truly felt stupid for being one of those stubborn 100% atheist know-it-alls.
There are spiritual factors out there, some are dark and some are light. I had no real control over myself in that dark time but something kept me alive through it against all odds and it changed me.
Since then I have learned that our attitude and thoughts really create our life and happiness is really a choice that you simply have to make, that's all there is to it.
Now, for me to think that all the things I have had happen to me in the last 3.5 years would have never existed if that went as I thought it would, is overwhelming.
It's only been a short time and I have a beautiful wife, an amazing son, and have done a lot with music and bodybuilding that I didn't think I would have so quickly.

You had a thread about having sex with a married dude. Is he the one ? :P
-
you are a fucking idiot and a piece of shit...if i met you i would kick you in your vagina
sounds like you're gonna donate thousands of dollars. Shut your mouth fuck boy. You would do no such thing
-
My point is still valid. You have people making jokes about a guy who just killed himself (allegedly) because of depression.
People don't have to agree with the premise of the thread, and they certainly don't have to donate either. However, for those who did know him, there should be some level of respect given. You would hope for the same treatment if it involved one of your family or friends.

you knew him? never heard of him.

If he killed himself then he his a selfish cowardly cu nt, why would anyone do such a thing when he has a kid to look after, bring up and protect? Sure just do yourself in, never mind your kid that needs you, as long as your ok....

No, I did not know him.

It always comes back to the power of clinical depression. You are answering your own question. Why would a man choose to leave his family behind? Why would anyone ever decide to kill themselves?
Only people who have been there, can fathom the pain of not wanting to go through another day. Many of us have gone through certain levels of depression in our lives, but I am not going to pretend to understand what some of these people are going through.

I don't care how bad or "depressed" I felt, I'd never ever leave my kids to fend for themselves.

Yep, I would have loved to have asked Ekul (Radical Plato) the same thing. SF1900, I was aware of the possible circumstances but I don't think it was cool to even explore that especially when nothing has really been confirmed. But guys, depression is some made up stuff....its a medical condition
-
was taylor Normandeau a gay black guy?
because I don't know why the OP is using the word "us" in the title
btw--this is ALL bullshit carny stuff...I didn't even have to read the thread to tell you this...I just saw a gofund me link in the intial post and figured it out
if you want to give to this guy then find out how to give it to him DIRECTLY....don't go to a fucking gofund me page posted by this burnt charleton
seriously---vince is NOT a good carny and I hope none of you trust him or anyone who just posts a link that goes to God know's who's paypal account
the fuck outta here with this shit
-

You are being naive if you think you would know what you would do under those circumstances.
There are levels of depression, and everyone reacts differently.

What about the primal instinct to protect your offspring? I understand what you are saying but doubt there is any feeling that can overcome this instinct

come on now...in this world of "likes" and "pay per youtube view" why should anyone care about stupid shit like kids or crying mothers?

Obviously people that make these comments have never suffered from or witnessed it themselves. It's obviously a very real thing that can be brought on by a lot of different things.

It's pretty simple actually: you are (everyone is) getting depressed when his current situation is too far away from one's wanted situation
(and the wanted situation 'can't' be achieved or maybe it really is impossible)
This can be pretty much everything. And it's an individual thing how much it affects someone.
So i might get depressed from e.g. loss of a job while you would shrug it off

I am saying in regards to the way the thread is handled. Nobody is required to donate, or offer condolences, but you dont have to knock the guy, call him a coward, or make tastless jokes either. If you dont have anything decent to offer in this thread, then simply do not say anything.
Thats the kind of respect I was implying.

As far as I know the grim reaper charges money to ferry you across the sea of souls if you are unable to pay him you will be trapped in limbo forever.

Easy now, your name sake isn't actually know for being loving and benevolent.
I won't speak for Gene, but I think it's safe to say that we all agree it is sad that a child lost his father and that a man, admittedly, struggled with clinical depression. And that's all we really know.
We don't know if he was a "good" person, provider, husband or father. Nor do we know if he were "bad".
We know that the person who started the thread is a master troll on this site and that the owner of a supplement company was the one who started the collection, and said "troll" has been accused of doing bidding for company owner.
These are the facts.
As JNN said there's no reason to trust any fund unless you know the money is going directly to the family. And even in that case you can still get ACRED....
-
Agreed

By the way that's why I love Getbig, you may find some of the biggest douchebags posting but some of the best guys too.

No thanks.

I don't really dig on making strong commentary that shows disrespect either, but this attempted suppression of others is fucking lame. This isn't a RIP thread, this is solicitation for money and that means the thunderdome may occur.
I personally strongly suspect that Melvin Goodrum has never, ever stood in front of this guy in real life. Melvin?

Vince, sorry that you lost a friend. Totally stinks.
-
hey vince....congrats on making this thread not about you....good job ;D
-
Says on MD he went by the handle Chode Logan. What other boards was he on?
-
First thing first... RIP Taylor. With all due respect, someone's wife and child lost their husband and dad, and that is the toughest thing of all. Regardless of how, this is tragic.
Second, depression is real and very dangerous. When someone feels like they have no friends, have no reason to live, and that part of the brain creates a situation that depresses you even more, the mental state of you in feels that you not being in our world is better off that being here, even with his family. It is really tough.
And I have seen it three times now first hand. One, we were lucky to get him help, in the treatment out hospital for 30 days, which did help. The second, of a friend of ours, we lost him. Two kids, a loving wife. But he really didn't know or bothered to follow someone every step of our life, and we were busy, and he went to the garage, turned on the car, and that is where she found him, without the kids, thank god.
The third, I am dealing with now, another competitor who thinks she has no friends, no will, and trying to explain that she does, and show her that she has more than many others can have or will have. It is not easy, especially on those quiet Saturday nights when it is quiet at home for her, and she is sitting there with no one who cares. But people do.
So please...
Vince, you did it all wrong. You don't rush to donate to someone who just died. You first put up a thread titled RIP Taylor, you learn about the person in our industry, who he has, what he did, the good things, and tough on the bad things too. Then, if the family, the wife requests it, you put something up to donate.
Most of us outside the industry didnt know this person. I knew of him, but Aaron was his friend, I get it. And it is important to know, for myself, being in the industry, It saddens me that we all are vulnerable, but do care somewhat.

First thing first... RIP Taylor. With all due respect, someone's wife and child lost their husband and dad, and that is the toughest thing of all. Regardless of how, this is tragic.
Second, depression is real and very dangerous. When someone feels like they have no friends, have no reason to live, and that part of the brain creates a situation that depresses you even more, the mental state of you in feels that you not being in our world is better off that being here, even with his family. It is really tough.
And I have seen it three times now first hand. One, we were lucky to get him help, in the treatment out hospital for 30 days, which did help. The second, of a friend of ours, we lost him. Two kids, a loving wife. But he really didn't know or bothered to follow someone every step of our life, and we were busy, and he went to the garage, turned on the car, and that is where she found him, without the kids, thank god.
The third, I am dealing with now, another competitor who thinks she has no friends, no will, and trying to explain that she does, and show her that she has more than many others can have or will have. It is not easy, especially on those quiet Saturday nights when it is quiet at home for her, and she is sitting there with no one who cares. But people do.
So please...

Ron, I did know Taylor and I knew about his struggles and I'm doing everything I can to help out his family in their time of need. There's nothing wrong about exercising compassion for your fellow man and especially a friend. I certainly will never apologize for that. If you wish to take the thread down, that's your decision but I did the right thing and raised a good chuck of money for his family who needs it and deserves it.

i like how the burnt match arrogantly ignored everyone calling him a charlatan in this thread but when the boss steps in THEN he decides to defend himself
the op is a horrible carny and like i've always said we egg him on just for the lulz but in reality we are all laughing at him
if the op is truly a friend to taylor then he should delete this thread because the fact that his Twix-like fingers touched this subject just adds a sleazy tone to this poor young man's tragedy

Vince I am sorry for your loss.
That said why do you argue with everyone when ever a suggestion is given? Ron didn't say what you did was wrong, he said how you went about it was wrong, is that hard to understand? Ron was suggesting you could have done more (raised more than a good chunk of money) if you would have went about it another way.
I get it that it was an emotional decision made under duress, you did good out of love, but come on man, if someone is trying to help you (and its not some anonymous internet nobody, its the sites owner)and you're telling him hes wrong........ you make yourself look real bad dude.

with all due respect sir you put up the link as did others on various sites, however, I question the last part of your statement a bit. Maybe just how you worded it I guess

This poor guy wasn't Melvin Goodrum's friend. They'd never met or had a real life friendship. He was one of Aaron's employees. period!!!!
All Melvin Goodrum, did, & wanted to do, was follow Aaron's orders so he can keep the freebies coming his way.
If anyone thinks that Melvin Goodrum puts anyone above himself & his empty pocket book, they're sadly mistaken.
He has no morals & no shame & it's disgusting that he sees himself as a hero who's coming to this poor guy's family's rescue.
You're garbage Vince. Total utter garbage.

I have zero sympathy for people who kill themselves, especially those who chose to bring others into this world only to selfishly leave them.
Fuck him. The money would be better spent elsewhere. Maybe a new Tart Pan or a Fish Spatula.
the world is not so simple. Some people have fair reasons for suicide.
But if people have kids then I think it should be prevented!
-
Would've donated a few 100 bucks had Goodrum's name not been attached to this. Vince himself is a lying, bullshitting scam artist selling (although failing hard) cheap Chinese snake oil. Anything with Goodrum's name attached to it ooze slime and failure.
No good man would ever want his name attached to a scam monkey like Vince so no money from me.

Not to mention he is black. And gay.
And fat.

One thing is certain about the "industry" - it's low rent. Not even $6K raised and $1K of that came from Singerman. Oh well, kudos to Aaron for at least trying to do the right thing.

Taylor had a massive heart attack.

Taylor was one of the good guys. He loved the sport and the industry, pursued that passion, and made a career out of it. Very sad for his wife, and his 4 year old son he leaves behind.
No one knows cause of death yet. His wife walked in and found him dead with no outward signs of why.
why did u need to start this fundraiser Aaron? You seem to be very rich with your new house cars private jets etc-why not just donate all the money yourself? And how much did u donate? I hope that Olympia statue u bought while back wasn't more than your donation?

Probably from all the chicken breast and "clean eating".
What a waste.
Anyways, I don't care one bit. I would rather donate to saving an animal than this moron and his moron family.

Don't actually. Do do some research. I can't remember 100% but I think it was autopsy is done on the guys who were in Vietnam and some of them in their early 20s were already showing signs of arterial sclerosis.

What is the prevalence of healthy 28 year old men developing major arterial blockage and dying from myocardial infarction? I'm not aware. ???
