Gene Wolfe, of course!

Don't read much fantasy, are you serious or just memeing?

absolutely serious. His main character Severus S. often contemplates suicide in a meaningful manner, being unable to deal with the tragic moments of his sadness of being wrenched away from his beloved Helga. Really thoroughly researched and heartfelt view at the heartbreak of man, honestly.

He said the words "Gene" and "Wolfe", so he's just memeing.

Schopenhauer

Well it's not like he was using the S. Always hated the French. Wasting perfectly good letters like that.
Emil Cioran

Pierre Drieu la Rochelle wrote a short novel about suicide called Le Feu follet
it is very good and I'm surprised it never gets talked about on lit
it deals with a young man who wanders in Paris after having left his addiction to heroin behind and he meets up with some of his old friends and he ends up killing himself at the end. Before that there is an excellent dialogue about why he does it
