WASHINGTON (TND) — The parents of pro golfer Grayson Murray said Sunday that their son died by suicide.

Terry and Eric Murray released a statement via the PGA Tour confirming his cause of death and said, “Life wasn’t always easy for Grayson, and although he took his own life, we know he rests peacefully now.”

Please respect our privacy as we work through this incredible tragedy, and please honor Grayson by being kind to one another,” the statement reads. “If that becomes his legacy, we could ask for nothing else.”

#James Donaldson notes:
Welcome to the “next chapter” of my life… being a voice and an advocate for #mentalhealthawarenessandsuicideprevention, especially pertaining to our younger generation of students and student-athletes.
Getting men to speak up and reach out for help and assistance is one of my passions. Us men need to not suffer in silence or drown our sorrows in alcohol, hang out at bars and strip joints, or get involved with drug use.
Having gone through a recent bout of #depression and #suicidalthoughts myself, I realize now, that I can make a huge difference in the lives of so many by sharing my story, and by sharing various resources I come across as I work in this space.
