2. Wow. How terrible.

3. This is so sad for his family. Big ups to this man for all his work with the Texans. May his family find some peace in their life with this unexpected tragedy

4. From another Clemson Tiger and Texans fan, RIP. Prayers go out to all of his family and friends.

5. Jamey was a big part in building the Texans even if it was just the business side. RIP

6. Awful news, reminder to anyone in here who might need to talk you are always more than welcome to PM me and I’d be happy to discuss anything you’ve got going on

7. Very sad

8. Wow. I’m a student at Rice and met him just a few days ago. He was going to teach a new class. RIP

9. Man that sucks. Left two children and a wife too. Horrible. Praying for his family but that has to be rough. Hopeful they can eventually find some peace.

10. Terribly sad, only 56. With the Texans for roughly 20 years.

11. Been through this myself a few times and the constant pain and questions it causes are so brutal. Heartbreaking news.

12. Makes me so profoundly sad to think of the pain he must have been in. I am praying for his family friends and all who loved him.

    They don’t specifically say what happened to him and I won’t speculate. Just please remember that you matter, you are loved, and the world needs you here. If nobody else cares I care for you as a human being. Reach out if you need to talk.

13. Permanent solution to temporary problems.

    Please seek help. Someone cares I promise.

14. Isn’t this one of the people pushed out of the Texans organization by Easterby?

15. So sad… just horrible….. tired of hearing about suicides. Lost many to it and just hate to hear of it. Prayers to the fam.
