Just read it...

I just read it too. Lots of speculation getting started over there. I hope everyone would stop posting their "hunches " and give his mom a chance to get herself together. She has posted in the GD thread and the pinned gofundme thread but she hasn't indicated what happened other than saying he passed suddenly last night.

Holy shit... I just popped in to see what was going on back home and saw this. That's terrible.

He was very helpful and charitable actually when i first started getting on here. Always sucks losing one of the good guys...

He was a thorn in Chad's side, so right away I liked the kid.

Sad news indeed. Wish the best for his family.

Posted: 10/10/2015 10:11:01 PM EDT

[#12]

He always seemed to be trying to get everything in...,

Posted: 10/11/2015 10:50:25 PM EDT

[#13]

What? That sucks.

Good kid and I liked him.

Posted: 10/11/2015 11:19:35 PM EDT

[#14]

The kid was a huge pain in my ass. He worked for me for a little while. Knew everything but not enough. Tried too damn hard but missed the little things. Was wrong more than he liked to admit. I wanted to flop in the floor the day he asked permission to glue Molle attachments to his hard hat to mount a weapon light.

He was awkward socially and took things way to heart but God dammit I liked him. He made me laugh and in this world that's all that counts. I hate to see him gone and will miss trolling him.

I didn't realize he was only 25, that is way too young. I can't say for sure if I ever met him in person but no doubt his posts kept me entertained. I don't need to know what happened, I just hope he was at peace when he left.
Prayers to his family.

I met him at your place, several years back. I even have a video from that day. Somebody brought their MP5, and was nice enough to let some arfcommers shoot it. He was really pumped that he was going to shoot full auto, and made sure I was getting a video of it before he did. I think he enjoyed himself

Damn.

He was strange to say the least. I had to block him because he said things that made no sense on the forums and in PM's. Only guy I have ever blocked here.

That said, he was too young to die, I pray it was painless and he's where he wanted to be.

Wow. That's way too young. RIP.

Posted: 10/12/2015 11:20:14 AM EDT

[#19]

RIP.

Tough to see someone you knew go too young.

Posted: 10/13/2015 1:19:08 PM EDT

[#20]

Damn I liked him, RIP and prayers for his mother? What happened????

Posted: 10/13/2015 3:25:36 PM EDT

[#21]

I never had the chance to meet him, but 25 is too young to die.

His mother said he had an accidental head injury in his home work space.

Met him once briefly. Seemed like a cool guy. RIP.

I still have not posted because the police investigation is still ongoing, and I was instructed not to say much by the police. If anyone here has spoken with him in the last three weeks or so and may be able to shine a light, please contact Major Brice Mesco at 573/581-2100 ext 119 (he has weekends off)

Thank you for your condolences, we all miss him.

Grin came home for the last time today, I picked up his cremains and death certificates.

Now the finality has set in, and I am breaking down.

I will be in Tiny chat for a while if anyone wants to talk.

Steve, it was probably moved to The Memorial forum.

Carla, sorry for what you're going through.

You are correct Kurt. I didn't even know we had one.

Here's the new link:

Grin Memorial

ETA: Carla, I hope you can find peace and be well. God Bless.
