October 2017 to March 2018 I had a lot of personal things go very bad. So much so, that I got off the Facebook--all social media/steam-and have had to deal with things. Haven't posted since and don't go on it, apart from going on to remove the notifications.

Went on last night and had two friend requests. One was some woman whom I did not know and apparently had two friends in common. Looked at her page and it's his fiance with a picture and the dates of his life. Didn't seem possible, so I searched TNL figuring you guys would know.

Without Facebook or this I don't speak to anyone from back then and Eric and I hadn't had any contact in years.

Damn Matt, well I hope things in your life are in a good place now. It hit a lot of us pretty hard myself included since I'd been good friends with Eric for many years. I hope we can see you around more here on the forums. You were always an integral part of this place so you've been missed.

If you want some more details on what happened, send me a PM and I'll fill in the gaps as best as I can.

Yeah, fire away. Insert PSO joke here.

**Mzo** · 08 Apr 2019, 12:13 PM

Yeah, hope things are getting better for you, man.

**Shin Johnpv** · 08 Apr 2019, 12:18 PM

I'll echo Mzo and Bonus and hope things are going better for you man.

I appreciate the sentiment, guys. Hit me pretty hard last night in the moment. Should have known TNL would bring me to tears.

He was a great friend to me once. More like a brother than my brother.

PM me BK and I'll give you my number if want to call. Might be in the # thread.

Man, reading through some of this stuff and seeing names is bringing a ton back. Wonder how much i remember accurately.

That being said, it's enormously creepy to see his obituary published at an alt-right shithole website.

It's ok to be white
