Akop Akopyan, 24

3 years :(

akop was a teady bear with a big heart. Our family remains in the dark, as to how heartless and demonized those bastards were to kill him and run away like cowards and the bigger question "WHY??".
Had they have the guts they should have fought him with their fists rather than like chickens hide behind guns.

the mastermind of my brother's murder has FALLEN. What goes around-comes around.

Axper jan 3 exactly three years later, justice has been served, although nothing will bring you back, but the devil himself was shot and killed a few days ago...we miss you crazy axper jan, til this day we still don't understand how he could do this to you, your own flesh and blood...but he got his own, he got what he deserved as well...eye for an eye...right now all we're praying for is to see you on that great day...LOVE YOU

anyone conducting criminal activiy will be fully prosecuted and jailed! you understand ???

RIP JACK...You're brother definately was a teddy bear like you said and what happened to him still hurts me deeply and i cant even imagine your pain..but..i knew hayko as well..very well..he was like an older brother to me, one of many, and he was just as kind hearted and sweet as your brother and i dont believe there were many who possessed the great qualities he did, and for me to stumble across this page and see the cruel words you posted up calling him a devil and laughing at his death hurts me beyond words..he would have NEVER done what you are accusing him of doing..i respect your brother and in his memory i kindly ask you to please respect what has happened and not judge because it is not your place too..jack wouldve never wanted this.. please just let him rest in peace please please just let hayko rest in peace....

I understand completely how everyone feels but please understand "an eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind" Sorry for the tragedy of everyone involved. :(

any1, when you say you "understand completely" does that mean you lost a brother to cruel and heartless people? I hope not. Then you have no idea as to what we are going through.

So please DON'T say you understand.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT COMPARE MY BROTHER TO HAYK...THEY WERE NOTHING ALIKE!!! MY BROTHER WOULD NEVER BETRAY HIS OWN COUSIN, TAKE HIS MONEY AND THEN END UP KILLING HIM...SO WHATEVER YOU DO....DON'T EVER COMPARE THEM...AS MY BROTHER WAS NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENT FROM HAYK...
HAYK KNEW WHO KILLED MY BROTHER BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING HE SET UP...HE TOOK THAT TO HIS GRAVE AND KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT THIS ENTIRE TIME...3 YEARS HE KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT...HAYK WAS WITH MY BROTHER THE EVE OF HIS DEATH AND HE WAS THE LAST ONE THAT CALLED MY BROTHER...

THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL BRING MY BROTHER BACK, BUT JUST KNOW THIS, IF HAYK AND MY BROTHER DID NOT ASSOCIATE WITH EACH OTHER, MY BROTHER WOULD STILL BE ALIVE TODAY, KNOW WHAT FOR A FACT. HAYK GOT MY BROTHER INVOLVED IN TOO MUCH CRAP...

Jack, axper jan, can't believe it's been 3 years, we miss you aper jan!!! You were nothing like anyone I've ever met, you were such a gentle giant, with a heart so big!!!
Anyone that knew Jack and Hayk knew they were nothing a like, Jack was rip the shirt off his back and give it to you if you needed it...Hayk had a lot he could learn from Jack...
Jack the world will never have another like you

Hayk brainwashed Jack and took him on a foolish ride that at the end of it all, was death...Hayk was a money-hungry guy, nothing else mattered to him, not even his family

Your not alone Anna, I too have lost a brother to circumstances very similar to yours. Every time I read one of your comments I feel your pain, because I re-live my own pain. Your not the only person in the world that has tragically lost a brother to cowards. Truth be told our stories are very similar and I DO UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY how you feel, especially when you put the word "friends" in quotations. However by allowing your soul to be marred by hate you are empowering your brothers killers to slowly kill you. I can tell by your words that you are very passionate. You can passionately love and you can passionately hate. What would your brother want? Would he want you to walk through life with a soul marred by hate, or would he want you to walk through life with your heart filled with the love you posses. I know that when you lose a loved one the way we did you cant help but feel that a piece of you has also died, every special day is missing something, every special moment isn't as special because in the back of you mind you are thinking of your brother that cant share the moment with you. BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I UNDERSTAND. My brother was murdered the day after Christmas and I buried him on New Years Eve!! How do you think I feel when everyone is so happy around that time of the year and I'm so miserable. This will continue to haunt me every year and every day till I die and am reunited with my brother. May the blessings of the lord be with you Anna, please find peace in your heart and don't lose your loving essence.

Anush, you are the biggest idiot in the world. Shame on you for the harsh words. I have known both for years, I’m not here to bad mouth anyone. And I sure don't want to spill the beans out about Akop.

Suzy, I don't know who the hell you are, but hear this...HAYK INTRODUCED MY BROTHER TO THIS DEEP, DARK WORLD, HE GOT HIM INVOLVED WITH CRAP THAT MY BROTHER COULD NOT GET OUT OF...AGAIN, IF HAYK NEVER CAME INTO MY BROTHER'S LIFE OF OURS, MY BROTHER WOULD STILL BE ALIVE TODAY...

YOU SAY YOU KNEW THEM FOR YEARS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA SWEETHEART...YOU HAVE NO IDEA AS TO THE FAMILY AND EVEIL GENES THAT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED BY THAT FAMILY
YOU KNOW NOTHING!!! YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE NIGHTS HAYK CALLED MY BROTHER AND TOOK HIM OUT OF THE HOUSE AND GOT HIM INVOLVED WITH S*IT, YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE NIGHTS WE SAT DOWN AND CRIED ASKING MY BROTHER TO CUT HIS CONNECTIONS WITH HAYK, YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE NIGHTS MY BROTHER STOOD UP FOR HAYK DEFEDING HIM IN THE CRAP HAYK GOT HIMSELF INTO...YOU DON'T KNOW, THIS LIST GOES ON AND ON

THE CRAP THAT MY BROTHER WAS IN WAS ALL BECAUSE OF HAYK AND HIS CONNECTIONS, SOME OF WHOM DIED AS-WELL...

HAYK WAS A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTING, HE HAD EVERYONE FOOLED, EVEN HIS OWN COUSIN...SO WHATEVER MY BROTHER DID WAS ALL DONE FOR THE SAKE OF SO CALLED COUSIN...MY BROTHER WOULD HAVE NEVER, EVER DONE THIS TO ANYONE, NOT EVEN HIS ENEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

***Jack's friend*** Thank you for the comment, it seems like you knew them both very, very well...you hit the nail on the head!!!

Jack was no saint, as no one is, everyone has skeletons in their closet, HOWEVER, Jack was also very pure of heart, he believed and trusted those who he thought were his friends...he had no idea they would use and abuse him they way they did. I knew both Hayk and Jack, and they were nothing, nothing I like. I knew there were things that I could trust with Jack, but Hayk was the complete opposite.
Jack was a great guy, and the world lost someone really special!

any 1 I'm so sorry to hear that. I wish patience for you and your loved once.

I don't have hate for any one. As a true christian we practice love towards one another, therefore, we don't: lie, curse, steal, smoke and numerous other things that damage us and others around us. For three years we were left in the dark as to why he was murdered and NOW WE SEE WHO WAS INVOLVED.
I don't need to explain to you the hurt and pain we go through every time we hear a young man's passing, because WE re-live every second of my brother's death and know what the family's going through.

HEY SUZY YOU HAVE SOME NERVE WRITING WHAT YOU WROTE! ON THE CONTRARY, YOU'RE THE BIGGEST IDIOT IN THE WORLD FOR YOUR STUPID COMMENT!!! talking about how you don't wanna spill the beans about Akop.

If you knew Jack the way the rest of the world knew him, you would never say that!
Why don't you just keep your mouth shut.

Jack was such a great friend, he was there for me whenever I needed him, I miss him soo much!

**Ado** by any chance are you the girl my brother dated for a few months??? is your brother's name Andre??

**Suzy** Who are you, what is your REAL name? How do you have a bag of beans about Akop?
Please do go ahead a spill it.

Cut the drama! We all knew they were all up to no good! Wanna B gangsters always talking trash! Finally caught up to them, atleast u know who did it.

hi Anush jan, yes it's me. how have u guys been? how are u guys holding up? I miss him soo much, I wish you all patience sweety.

And please ignore the stupid, ignorant comments that are made, they don't know what they're talking about.

hi anush i was just reading jacks articles again and i came across this comment page and started reading and i see there is an "ado" who commented a few times and you asked her if she was the ado that dated your brother for a few months and if she had a brother named andrey and she replied yes..well i dont know if its just a big coincidence but im ado too and i saw you at jacks funeral and introduced myself to you and told you my brother (andrey) sends his condolences and i told you that you two went to prom together in high school so you'd remember which andrey i was talking about.. i just wanted to say if for some reason you think this other ado is me its not i never dated your brother i just knew him for a couple of months through other friends..he was a great guy and i hope he rests in peace

Will the real ado please stand up! I believe adrine, i think the other ado is fake. Just my thoughts. Even tho i don't know jack, but have been reading this page and i think ado is just trying to stir things up on here. pls ignore her.

I apologize for the comment i left..i was just trying to stick up for a friend and i wouldve done no differently for jack because i forever want to keep good memories of people around me who have passed and never think of them in a bad light..i didnt realize my comment would start a chain of comments like it did, i assure you that that was not my intention and my words were innocent..i wish you and your family patience and nothing but comfort until you reunite again with jack.

I think you girls should get an eye for an eye too...just for the way u are happy about haykos death.Everyone has their own brain...if hayko let jack to the wrong path he shouldnt have gone...its not like he was forced...Haykos gone now..let him rest in piece...it anit right what u say when a persons gone..u should have delt with this when he was alive...no one deserves to be killed...no matter what n if u get happy over haykos death then may god grant u all that evillness that u feel toward others...rip hayko n jack

May God grant patience to his family! Jack I carry you proudly in my heart, I miss you so much.

Everyone else, please just stop and think for a moment, Jack is gone. We have to be more sensitive and respectful to those who have passed. The ones who are suffering now are the families, they now have to deal with the aftermath of it all. They are the ones who are haunted by all the memories left behind. Losing someone to such a heinous crime is just unbearable. So please, again, just stop and let them rest in peace. Just please, let them rest.

**just me** stay out of this. This is none of your business. You have the guts give your name and address so the investigators can use you as a probe for Hakop's murder.

How is that?

**just me** this is a response to your senseless comment** If you're not a coward, don't hide behind your computer with an unrecognized name and make random comments. If you're man/woman enough say who you really are. Hayk got himself into this lifestyle and decided to live a very crooked and illegal way. No one is happy about his death, this is something that he and only he brought on to himself and my brother. It's just sad that he took and introduced my brother to this lifestyle, this corrupt, unjust, dog eat dog, or should I say cousin eat cousin world.

There are sooo many things that you don't know about. So why don't you accept the truth for what it is, and stop arguing or trying to deny it. Hayk came from generation of thieves and hustlers who never worked a day in their life to make an honest living or a dollar.

So before you go and make ignorant comments like everyone has a brain and can make decisions on their own, why don't you think about this, my brother is 6 feet under because of Hayk.

Listen to the news, it's everywhere, even the investigators are saying that some or one of the men who was killed may have been a suspect in my brother's case. So, again, you don't know the facts surrounding this case, so just stay out of it.
My brother was naïve in thinking he could trust people in this cruel and corrupt world, that was the only major mistake on his part.
The past 3 years have been unbearable for us. We're hoping that this may help us find some closure, no matter how small of help it may be.

Jack jan, texet entsa erevoom. We miss you bro. RIP bro, inch asem, till we join you, look after us.

*anna* no need to be bitter and blameful towards me for ur loss. "You have the guts give your name and address so the investigators can use you as a probe for Hakop's murder." what the hell does that have anything to do with the comment I made about u guys disrespecting a dead person!!its a very sad thing to have happened, whether to ur family or to Hayk's..both were very. young and both didnt deserve such horrible ending.
*anush* I dont belive my comment was senseless at all...I was just saying that if in fact Hayk did introduce Jack to the wrong life style, then it would only be fair to say that Jack wasnt forced and that he should have figured that that wasnt the life for him and steped out! Hayk may not have been an angle, but he wasnt as evil as u describe him and his family to be. Anush I belive u r Jack's sister and I hope hope that ur family does gets closure, somehow. But I wish it wouldnt be on the account of anothers persons death. The truth went down wid Jack and Hayk and no matter what the investigators say, I think they are the only two people who would have answers..I hope that god helps u and ur family find piece in ur heart. and may both of them rip...tooo sad!

**just me** Not that it's any of your business, I AM HAKOP'S OLDEST SISTER. Like I said stay out of this. You knew Hayk either not well enough or you had some benefits from him that you are defending him. Anyone that was close to Hayko and Hakop on "good terms" probably knows something about Hakop's death.

SO STAY OUT OF THIS.

**just me ** who are you why are you? why aren't you giving your name? STAY OUT OF THIS, don't tell us what to think or to speak.

**just me** on the contrary, my brother did realize what they had gotten him into, except the sad and unfortunate reality is that when he did realize it, they had already planned his murder and executed.

I'm not going to further discuss the facts and reality of my brother's case back and forth with you like this, e-mail me and we'll take it from there. I don't know who you are, and what relation, if any, you have with us. E-mail me and we'll discuss further.
(anush_akopyan@yahoo.com)

anushik do you know the difference between a suspect and a perpetrator? I advice you to go do some research before maaking any false statments.
perpetrator means "the person who actually committed the crime" and suspect means "just suspected" now can the suspect mean they were not the prepetrator? OFCOURSE! anna this is everyone's to comment on, that's why its on a public forum.

Oh and PLEASE if you dont like people comments then i advice you to not post on this forum again. life is good my dear.

EDNA** it's all English sweetheart, whatever the meaning maybe, HAYKO was involved with my brother's case.
I know the truth may hurt, but you can't deny it!!!

***edna, just me, and the rest of you that think you know the facts** wow, you really don't have anything else to do with your time, than to look for places to post comments on that are NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, you want to comment go and post somewhere else,
Or You are all just bored with your own lives so you stick your noses into someone else. That's how armenians are and that is why this nation is in such a mess.

why are you guys fighting so hard to defend Hayko, look where his "innocence"got him lol

may Jack rest in peace, and may God grant his family patience. may they find some closure, God with u all

*anna & anush*FIRST OF ALL LIKE EDNA SAID, THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM, SO POSTING COMMENTS HERE IS WELCOMED TO THE PUBLIC. Just because the article is concerning your brother doesn’t give you the right to restrict who’s to post comments to who’s not to. If you choose to post your judgments and emotions in a PUBLIC FORUM then be equipped to hear from people who don’t concur with you…So you either get a grip on the comments made or YOU STOP POSTING!! I did know both Jack and Hayk very well. Secondly, if you weren’t so on the defense then it would be clear to you that my comments merely states that if in fact Hayk did exemplify Jack toward the wrong path, it wasn’t because he held a gun to his head and made him do things he never wanted to do…everyone is ultimately accountable for their own actions. With that said, Hayk was also a victim of his own actions. Being blissful over a young man’s murder is not going to bring Jack back nor is it going to do any good to your immoral spirit. You keep repeating that I don’t know the FACTS!! I don’t need to know the fact,not interested. My comments are all in response to your posts…I quote “Hayk got himself into this lifestyle and decided to live a very crooked and illegal way.”--May I ask how you know this? Where you involved in his crooked and illegal life? Just hearing about it isn’t enough! A lot of people hustle to life. You just choose yours and let others choose their own. Who are you to judge whether he lived his life wrongful or not? I quote “So why don't you accept the truth for what it is, and stop arguing or trying to deny it. Hayk came from generation of thieves and hustlers who never worked a day in their life to make an honest living or a dollar.”-First of all I was never arguing with you, I only stated the truth. No matter how well you think you know hayk, assuming that his whole generation was thieves and hustlers is a very dim assumption.(If Jack was his cousin and your Jack sisters then aren’t you part of his generation too?? lol)I am sure that you didn’t live at Hayk’s house or handle is personal accounts to be able to say that he or his WHOLE GENERATION never made an honest living. PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS STRIAGHT!! I happen to know Hayk’s parents very well, and they are both honest and hard working people. Just a family trying to make ends meat. How do I know all this? Here is the answer to your question (anna) as to who I am. Even though I don’t understand why your so preoccupied over who I am…I am a family friend and went to school with Hayk almost all my life, we lived next to each other many years and I know their whole family very well. So before jumping for joy over Hayk’s murder think about your OWN comments “eye for an eye”…may god give you some brains! RIP JACK & HAYK

just me** on the contrary, my brother did realize what they had gotten him into, except the sad and unfortunate reality is that when he did realize it, they had already planned his murder and executed.
I'm not going to further discuss the facts and reality of my brother's case back and forth with you like this, e-mail me and we'll take it from there. I don't know who you are, and what relation, if any, you have with us. E-mail me and we'll discuss further.
(anush_akopyan@yahoo.com)

**just me** we are not rejoicing over Hayk's death. He paid for his transgressions. As the Bible states "Price of sin is Death ".
it's not just us stating facts do you have difficulty reading everyone else's comments?

rest in peace bro, ur much missed and loved

all who knew you
they loved you
you were beautiful inside and out
what was running through your mind
when you left that night
how could you
just dissappear out of our sight
never got to say goodbye,
but i know one thing for sure
the day is coming when we will see you
and run to you and say "Hi!!"

Anush & Anna, I truly think you both are the worlds two stupidest sisters. If you have a belief about someone being your brothers murderer then keep it to yourself or go tell the cops.

Don't come online and start putting down people who have passed away, if you really had the balls you should've said something while he was still here. Unless you were there WITNESSING the murder, or have hard evidence, then you have no right to point you're fingers at anyone.

I'm not saying Hayk was an angel and i'm not saying your brother was either. You may be right and you may be COMPLETELY wrong. How about you keep it to yourselves until its proven.

RIP Hayk & Jack

Again, why are you guys fighting so hard to defend Hayko, look where his "innocence" got him lol

Get over it already, realize that he was in to deep with this sh*t and it finally caught up with him

Hoping you sisters and your folks find the peace your looking for.

my condolences to the family, my heart goes out to you guys. no one should have to go though something like this, no one!!! it's extremely unfortunate that your own blood line, your own "so-called cousin" can something like this. it's unspeakable.

may jack rest in peace and may the families find some peace and closure.

I knw just how difficult it is to lose a loved one. Jack was such an amazing guy, such a teddy bear with an enormous heart!

Sending you girls and your folks all the love and support,, and wishing you all much patience.

such a sad, tragic story, I'm so sorry! Jack is in a much better place now, no one can hurt him anymore. such a young, smart, kind person did not deserve this. Jack was a self-less incredible friend, and we all miss him very much.

I'd like to seize this chance to respectfully offer my very late condolences to Hakop's family. I happen to have met Hakop back in early 2006 through a third party acquaintance, and during that brief 06 summer, we hanged out, rather, frequently. From my interaction with him i can say that he was a kind person. He had heart. I kept one thought for you, Hakop, throughout the years, and will keep doing so.
R.I.P.

RIP apeh miss you

still missin u bro, ur spirit lives on

Only God may judge us all. Jack you will always be in my heart. I will love you until my death.
