SAN ANTONIO -- A few days after he was fired for sending an e-mail to a San Antonio councilwoman, a 52-year-old man took his life Thursday morning at his North Side home.
George erson, a long-time worker for Zachry Construction Corporation died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.
Sgt. David Scepanski, of the San Antonio Police Department, said that a family member found erson in the back yard of his home.
erson left a suicide note.
"It basically said there was some recent events that weighed very heavily on him," Scepanski said.
On Monday, erson sent an e-mail complaining about a nightclub near his home from his company server to District 7 Councilwoman Elena Guajardo.
The e-mail said that the club, Graham Central Station, which is located across the street from erson's subdivision, was increasing the crime rate by "enticing undesirable, low-class elements from bad parts of the city."
He also complained about the club's entertainment, calling it "lewd, lascivious and low class."
erson also suggested in the e-mail that the city should move the club to "the lower class, bad parts of the city."
He also sent another e-mail to Guajardo, saying that his first e-mail was "completely confidential and not for public distribution."
Guajardo, who said that the e-mail was "racial and discriminatory," contacted Zachry officials. erson was then fired for what company officials said was a violation of company's computer use.
When asked about the e-mails Thursday, Guajardo declined to address the issue, saying it wasn't the proper time.
"I think of him, the feeling of no hope," she said. "That really saddens me. And I think at this time ... we'll be praying for his family. Praying for all the confusion, the loss and the pain that is going on right now."
Zachry released the following statement regarding erson's death:
"We are shocked and deeply saddened to learn of George's death. The thoughts and prayers of the Zachry family and organization are with George's family. We regret that this matter became public and evolved into a personal tragedy."
erson was described by family members as a kind man who loved antiques.
His family is said to be distraught and are planning to make a statement at a later time.

Stupid white people
I wonder if Mr. erson would have had the same sentiments if he lived in Hill Country Village or ajacent subdivisions next to one of the new clubs along 281? My thoughts are probably not. Very sad situation. I feel for the family.
Did the story give his race?
I agree with him about Graham Central Station. I used to live in that area and there were some shady characters coming out of that place at about 2am every weekend. , I think some guy was murdered in the club not too long ago.
I don't think it's a race or class issue, I really just think it is a rough crowd that goes there.
Of course, I can say that because I'm Black.
Which leads to the obvious, "why?"
The story is better if the guy is white.
I think it's because only white people can be racist or at least, that's what Malcolm X said.
I think the obvious question is "where?" As in "where in the story does it say homeboy was a cracker?"
It doesn't, but only white people can be racist, so it's assumed.
What parts of his email were racial??Guajardo, who said that the e-mail was "racial and discriminatory,"
He might have been display "class" prejudice, but did he ever mention race??
I think the racial part is was implied because of the clientele that frequents Graham Central Station. I don't think it's unfair to characterize it as a predominantly Hispanic (minority) club.
It's just a shame that the guy thought he needed to kill himself over this.
Condolences to his family.
Well, he lost his long-time job and has been labeled a racist by the local media. Quite a burden for someone to carry.
I just can't believe that the Guajardo turned the email over to his employer.
What a !
I hope she realizes that she now has blood on her hands.
No burden to kill yourself. See how liberals think. It's ok to kill yourself if you get fired but if a convicted murderer is killed Mr. Peabody cries.
Typical insite into the twisted liberal mind.
I was wondering if that was the entire email, or if they cut the *bad* parts out.
You don't make any sense.
I said I felt sorry for the guy and that the council woman's actions in reporting him were wrong.
I really don't understand your post.
If you want to attack me, I have posted more outlandish crap than saying I felt sorry for a guy that committed suicide.
hey, Peabody, someone's getting executed somewhere. what are you gonna do about it, cry?
I assume they cut out the parts referring to Mexicans or Blacks. Either that or Guajardo read race into his email, which is entirely possible.
Blood on her hands?
San Antonio District 7 Councilwoman Elena Guajardo
I don't think so.
I already am, my brother...I already am.
