It is with a very heavy heart that I say, the one and only Jamie Duffy (Acumen Nation and DJ? Acucrack) killed himself. Details are still a bit sketchy, but it has been confirmed. I cannot stress to all of you what an amazing person Jamie was and how great his talent always WILL be! I cannot really say more as even I am so shocked I am left speechless. Our thoughts and prayers are with him friends and family. There will never be another like him. Jamie I hope you found the peace that you were searching for.

Statement from Jason Novak:
"I think it is important before people that loved him and cared about him and were on the receiving end of his talents start to hear things or see things, that it be clear that Jamie chose this end. I remember when our friend Critter passed a few months ago that there was so much concern about how exactly it happened, so with that in mind, and because there is evidence out there, I want to share that fact. People who knew him well knew that he struggled with depression deeply, and there were many people who loved him enough to try to make a difference, but in the end, like I said, he decided it was time to go. There had been scares in the past, and he would tell everyone "I'm good, I'm OK..." but this time I have to believe he was just tired of the fight........... On another note, next month there will be a benefit show with the bands he worked with to help raise money for his arrangements, as well as a couple more intimate celebrations of his life in the coming days. Will keep everyone informed. And while I want to thank everyone for your heartfelt wishes and condolences, I would like to transfer those to Angelena Pocalypse and Dann Szymczak, two of his closest friends that did their best over the past few years to keep Jamie's head up and spirits high. I want to lovingly transfer most of these best wishes to them. Jamie trusted them the most when it came to his darkest moments, and I know they are hurting just as deeply. My sincere thanks and love to you both for being there for him through everything."
