oh my god. Rest in peace, Gaborn.

this is so sad

 

[AlexMogil]

This thread turned out so ironic in many ways but also fitting when you think about. I think he would smile at that.

You got it brother, I think he'd want it like this, man.

Such awful news. I'm really sad.

 

[enzo_gt]

Oh my goodness.

R.I.P. Gaborn if true

 

[Nappuccino]

Woah, this is awful. I hope that he went out painlessly. That's the least he deserved after overcoming the odds for so long.

 

[Shaneus]

RIP

I was unaware of his health issues; perhaps it explains his compulsion to ensure people are thinking about the problems in the world.

What I liked about Gaborn wa he'd PM you if he felt something important in a discussion was lost in a busy thread. He really cared about his communication here and I respected that.

That's fucking awesome.

 

[SniperHunter]

damn....

RIP

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

It's so weird that we have these two giant memorial threads so close together. Had there been many known GAFfers who passed before scorcho?

 

[Dark Phoenix]

What??

RIP Gaborn.

 

[BocoDragon]

Wow is this real? RIP man I'm praying for a surprise "I'm fine guys, different guy with same name died"... but....

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Wow is this real? RIP man I'm praying for a surprise "I'm fine guys, different guy with same name died"... but....

yea me 2.

I hope he had a really popular name.

 

[Salacious Crumb]

RIP Gabron.

 

[SeanR1221]

Way to go out with a depressing thread, buddy. RIP, you'll be missed.

 

[kinggroin]

Are we certain he passed?

Oh man if so, its like a frickin dagger to my heart. Loved the guy and his challenging news stories. This is really painful...


...fuck.

 

[krypt0nian]

I am fucking speechless. This news catches me in a space of loss personally and really tips a scale.

I gotta get some air. FUCK!

 

[SoulPlaya]

This is. . . . . damn.

RIP.

 

[Slayer-33]

WTF

 

[Dead Man]

What the fuck. I was just thinking about him the other day wondering where he was. However he went, I hope it was painless and surrounded by loved ones. RIP.

It's so weird that we have these two giant memorial threads so close together. Had there been many known GAFfers who passed before scorcho?

Having been here 12 years, I do often wonder how many fallen flags (vanished users) have actually died without anyone on GAF ever hearing about it.

 

[highrider]

Dam. I lurked for years before I joined. He was great. Too young.

 

[captmcblack]

Too much death.

RIP, Gaborn...you were an awesome user, and I loved talking baseball with you in the MLB threads these last few years.

 

[mandiller]

RIP Gaborn

 

[TEJ]

i'm still in shock. i know this is just a message board, but even so you come to like people and enjoy them just for being here.

RIP.

 

[xKilltheMx]

Wow, totally out of left field. He was my favorite OT poster for sure. Gaborn News man...gaborn news.

RIP.

 

[btrboyev]

Wow...rest in peace my friend.

 

[Curtisaur]

Fuckin' A.


RIP Gaborn.

 

[george_us]

Wow, he was my age. Wow.

RIP Gaborn and Scorcho.

Same here.

I never really interacted with him but always enjoyed reading his views whenever a debate raged on. RIP.

 

[bluelightningduo]

Most of his threads reminded me of my own mortality, this thread is no exception.

RIP

 

[bomma_man]

Oh shit

RIP

 

[Anno]

Fuck, man. Shit sucks. RIP Gaborn.

 

[commedieu]

Im officially never being mean to anyone again in my life.

Gaborn :\

 

[John Blade]

RIP

Never talk to him but do like his unusual news he post here very often. Going to miss that part a bit.

 

[Shaneus]

Just having a look and whilst I didn't see this thread when it was created, it's a happy reminder that not all was grim with the threads he created:
Surfing goats

 

[Forearms]

Fuck, I hope he's posting a bunch of shitty news in an afterlife somewhere. RIP, Gaborn.

 

[Razorskin]

Wow, never did I expect the thread to reveal something this big.


RIP :C

 

[Theonik]

Holy shit. This is so sad and I didn't even know the guy personally.
I really did like his threads though. Such a shame reading about this or his underlying health conditions.
RIP to a great poster and my sincere condolences go out to his family.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Wow.

I thought the OT forum seemed a little different lately whenever I came over here. Now it'll never be the same...

RIP.

 

[Mindlog]

I still get a chuckle from our sincere conversation over which water tower looked most like a cock. Sad news.

 

[Farooq]

This is terrible.

RIP Gaborn.

 

[Kevtones]

Travel well, Gaborn.

 

[Zapages]

Gaborn, always the wise man to give advice when needed to be when reporting a news. You'll be missed. RIP. My sincere condolences to his parents.

 

[Sickboy007]

This is...really depressing. He was such a smart, caring, extremely interesting guy.

 

[AlexMogil]

He was one of the people you felt a little honored whenever he replied to you or quoted you.

This has just been a shit year.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Who will penetrate my world now?

Thanks for the news Gaborn.

 

[The Main Event]

Damn

 

[AlteredBeast]

Well this sucks... WTF.

 

[Brazil]

No way.

2012: truly the shittiest of years.

 

[Nesotenso]

RIP

 

[Firest0rm]

rip

 

[shanshan310]

I.. I don't know what to say. This is awful.

Thanks for looking into it stump.

 

[lexi]

I am just utterly devastated. I've maintained a close friendship with Kendall since 2009. He was instrumental in helping me get my life on track and was a big part of my support network coming out as trans. I spoke to him last on the 25th, as he wished me good luck with my surgery the next morning. He was so excited for me and couldn't wait to see my results. He was an amazingly supportive friend and I'm really, really going to miss him.
