Jason Hairston Founder of Kuiu deceased

Rumors are flying that Jason Hairston took his own life today. Can't verify it, but KUIU customer service is closed until tomorrow. Found this.

If true I feel for his kids.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

I’m seeing a few places on social media that the KUIU owner Jason committed suicide? Anybody hear anything along those lines?

Who?

He founded Sitka Gear originally and then sold out to Gore and started KUIU.

It's easy to think about it from your point of view, you aren't him. There is a good chance he had CTE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_traumatic_encephalopathy) which has been found in high school football players. This guy played in the NFL, albeit a short career. The medical profession pretty much knows jack about how the brain actually works.
