A friend of mine frequented here.. RIP optik_nerve

Whether you knew him very well or not, I knew him well enough to know he checked these forums out pretty regularly. He died the 27th when he was struck by a car..

He was an incredible guy and I cant even begin to explain how many people miss him right now.

Oh god, that's terrible. My mom also recently lost a dear friend and it's been gloomy around here as well. R.I.P. to them both.

The name sounded familiar, did a search, turns out he commented on some music projects I did. did some more searching, the guy seemed like a decent human being and the world is lesser for it's loss.

I definitely remember him frequenting this place. The temporary nature of life never ceases to scare me. One minute you're here, the next you're not.

I hope he's found peace, wherever he is.

Yeah...I remember him. Given the fact that this thread was started on the 29th I guess there's no chance that this is just a bad April Fool's Day joke. Rest In Peace, Mr. Nerve.
