I can't even begin to wrap my head around the pain that caused him to kill himself.
I just wish I had the change to say good bye and tell him that I love him.
A bit OT, but I now make sure I tell me friends I love them regularly.

It's likely that your friend was experiencing such pain, that finding empathy for the people around him was difficult to impossible. It's suffering that probably not a large proportion of the population can really comprehend.
I'm currently trying to help my friend who is experiencing depression. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing, but showing care and compassion is a good start.
