Trans boy<\/a> who died of suicide texted best friend: \u2018I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!\u2019 before death<\/b><\/p>\n

The Wisconsin trans<\/a> boy<\/a> who killed himself<\/a> Monday 29 September received tribute in an emotional eulogy<\/a> from close friend Foster Noone.<\/p>\n

Noone, a fellow queer activist, wrote the eulogy on Medium about the night of Skylar Lee’s death.<\/p>\n

Nine minutes before writing his suicide letter, Lee sent Noone three texts which read: ‘FRIEND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!’; ‘Just want you to know that’; ‘I love you so much.’<\/p>\n

They received them the following morning.<\/p>\n

The evening of Lee’s suicide, Lee asked Noone to read him a poem. They read: ‘Consider the Hands That Write This Letter’, a poem<\/a> by American poet Aracelis Girmay.<\/p>\n

In Lee’s suicide he wrote about how he loved fruit. Noone recounts in the eulogy Lee was a ‘pear’. ‘I feel like pears have a really calm, healing energy.<\/p>\n

‘They’re really flavorful and yummy but the colors are really serene and pears can be great as part of a dish or be the star on their own.’<\/p>\n

Lee said Noone was a peach.<\/p>\n

‘I have an association of kindness [with peaches] because when I lived at my old house, in the summer my gran and I would go to this random old couple<\/a>’s house who had a peach tree and they’d let us take their peaches for no reason except to be kind.’<\/p>\n

In his suicide note Lee said he didn’t want to remembered as a ‘sob story’.<\/p>\n

‘Don’t turn my name into a hash tag. Don’t treat this like glory suicide-fest. I am not killing myself because I am trans<\/a> and queer.’<\/p>\n

He said suicide by trans<\/a> people creates a ‘chain reaction’.<\/p>\n

Lee’s memorial service was held Friday October 2 in Madison, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
