Some of you old time LF types may remember noted forums poster wheez the roux, who was a pretty great comrade-poster, supporter of the SPLC and palestinian refugees, outrageously good cook, and generally Awesome Dude he died, suddenly & unexpectedly, last year (obit): quote:On May 23, 2015 a beautiful, brilliant, funny and kind young man was sitting on his couch in Pullman, Washington excitedly messaging his sister about plans to celebrate a family event. Then his heart stopped beating. He was 26 years old. anyway: his sister (mentioned in the obit) ended up finding the forums, somehow, and gathered a lot of his recipes and posts together from SA, and via a memorial website for him. she also put together a cookbook of his recipes, free online, and also available in print (i just got mine) TFF, where wheez posted often about football, ended up raising about $7k for SPLC in his memory, and I think (not sure) the cookbook has some proceeds go there as well. anyway, I realized when I got this that I wasn't sure if the news of his death had ever been posted to D&D/YCS, so I decided to post it here, since I think this is where wheez would be posting a lot if he were still around to bash his drunk greasy fingers on a keyboard. RIP wheez, you were the rarest thing of all: A Good Poster

I read LF fairly religiously for the first year or so of it's existence, sort of around the peak ron paul time i think but I don't remember this guy, did he have any other forum names? or any 'famous' threads?

Holy poo poo, I had been his facebook friend going on like seven years. He must have unfriended me around when he died, because I remember several of his most recent posts. I had thought about him just last week and was wondering what was up. I knew he taught at a camp in Minnesota for awhile.

I've known he passed for a while now cuz he was a TFF poster, but this cookbook is fuckin' awesome and I hope if I die young that someone goes an makes a book about me. I'll make some mac and/or fried chicken in his honor soon enough.

gently caress. i was friends with aric through middle and high school. we didn't go to the same school but we ran in the same circles and talked often at debate meets etc. all my memories of him are good ones (yes, even the time he goatse'd my facebook when i was being an idiot e/n hellfucker). he was sharp as gently caress in wit and in intellect, energetic and engaging, always open and happy to talk and teach and learn. he had the patience to be a good friend even to the person i was then and the sense to know when to say 'hey, dumbass, quit taking poo poo so seriously and loving chill', both things i wish i had appreciated then as much as i do almost a decade later. i'm glad you were a part of my life, even if only for a few years. thanks for being loving awesome and turning me onto myriad things i'd've never found on my own. rest in peace.
