He spoke with “this really awesome drawl” that reflected his pride in his Appalachian heritage, said his academic adviser, Brian Hulse, associate professor of music theory and composition at W&M.
“I adored the kid and thought he was a really special, unique person,” Hulse said. He had “a wide, expansive personality,” and his comments in class were always “really rich and full of insights.”
Hulse said he had been receiving emails and texts all day from students who knew Deeds. “A lot of people really, really loved that guy.”
Maura Brennan, a junior from Fairfax County, said Deeds’ “entire goal was to make people smile.”
Brennan said she was not aware that he had left school. The last time she saw him, he “seemed upset about something. It was really jarring for me because every other time he was cheerful and earnest.”
Hulse said he knew Deeds had previously left school because of problems and thought he had received religious support of some kind that “had given him structure or whatever he needed to come back to school.” But he said he was not aware of current issues with his psychological health.
“He was definitely an offbeat kind of character, and it did not faze him in the least,” Hulse said. “He was happy being different, and just always exuberant and funny and kind.”
1) We aspire to provide a space for artists (poets, rappers, singers, producers, instrumentalists, et cetera) to be able to share with and learn from one another. The space will be called The Circle. The time will be called The Cypher. . At each cypher, students will be encouraged to freestyle (and we don't mean just rapping -- this is to encompass the improvisation of all art forms) together -- be it lyrically or instrumentally.
2) The Circle will perform at various venues throughout the school year at on-campus and off-campus events. Performers will not only freestyle entire pieces (songs, poems, et cetera), but they will also showcase material from their own portfolios.
3) Finally, every year we will have one group project: putting out a mixtape showcasing the talent that exists on our campus. The mixtape will be sold for a small price in order to raise funds that will be donated to an important cause.

Now do you have an objection to the people looking into why JFK was killed or should we back off because of his family?

I suspect Gus was gay, and he told his family. That caused big problems for him, leading to emotional problems, which led to the mental health evaluation, leading ultimately to the stabbing/shooting.

And your evidence for this?
Zilch.
I'm not saying this is none of your business. Make it as much of your business as you want to.
Just stop making up things about people and posting it on the internet.

How psychiatry killed Austin 'Gus' Deeds
Before stabbing his politician father and taking his own life outside of his home, Gus Deeds, 24, struggled with a bipolar disorder that had utterly changed his life a few years ago, his friends told ABC News. Those who know him say he idolized his father, a state senator and Democratic nominee for governor Creigh Deeds. He was a brilliant musician who could pick up just about any instrument and play. And he was a kind soul who wore his heart on his sleeve. But sometime after his father's loss in that governor race and his parents' subsequent divorce in 2010, the younger Deeds fell into a downward spiral of mental illness, two friends told ABC News. "Eventually it got to the point where everyone... you couldn't ignore it. It was obvious he was going through a difficult time," Tony Walters, who has been friends with Gus since they were children in Bath County, Va., told ABC News on Wednesday. "I don't know where they ended up taking him but he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and did get treatment for a while and I know he was on medication."
