I think he was one of the first folks I met when I started getting into this furry thing all those years ago. We've shared a room together more than once, he's been a great friend, and someone that I kind of thought I'd keep seeing at these things forever.

I became aware of his condition a few years ago and did not realize how serious it had become until the last time I saw him at a con, I think it was MWFF. He showed me his tumor and I really didn't know what to say other than being supportive.

Michel Memphit asked me to dig up this photo which I really wish I'd had the thought to do it sooner, life is always so crazy busy and complicated but I know I should've had the thought months ago. I guess we always think we'll have more time.

I've always been grateful for all the time I get to spend with my loved ones and the great friends I've made through furry. I've always known it'll be a part of me as long as I live.

Anyway, I tried to do my best to let him know I was thinking about him during this difficult time, and it touched me so much to know he had a picture of my mate and I in suit in his room.

I remember the last time someone in my life passed away, Vex Windarian, I left his contact in my phone. I just never had the heart to delete it.

I think my favorite memories have to be this moment right here, repeated at more than one con, he always was so cute when we'd scritch his head. I also fondly remember ICON, doing fursuiting for the kids track with myself, , bluecanary and . I remember him showing me at his house how to wash a fursuit, and calling in a long complex chinese food order at a furmeet at my house because I'm shy about that sort of thing. He was always there when you needed him, and he was someone I'll miss a great deal at the next con.

See you in the next life, man. Save a seat for me.
