It's really hard when the people we went to high school with have this kind of tragic accident. It doesn't make any sense, and it seems like life is so fragile and unpredictible.
You can give your buddy a special place in your heart, and feel sad that you missed his service, but Phillipa's right-- it's just sheer chance that you even happened to look through the fliers before you tossed them out. There is absolutely no sense in layering guilt on top of grief and sadness.
You can still make a donation to his charity cause, and light a candle for him, write a story about what his life taught you. Saying goodbye should be personal. Don't feel guilty because you weren't able to make it to the big service. You can say goodbye in your own way, in your own time.
hugs, hope you sleep alright tonight ((CD))

Hope you feel better soon
