i never visit this part of the forums, so i missed this while i was on vacation.
there was someone missing, but it didn't hit me that he might be missing forever.
i hope someone who can contact his mother will give her my condolences, even though it's so long after.
he was the awesomest dude i've even met, be it online or offline.
i will mourn his loss, just the same as i mourn the loss of my other mentors who were so important to their community that a replacement can never be found.
and i will mourn him as a good person and great friend whom i really wish i knew better, but i have respected deeply for a long time just from the little i knew of him.
