This news sucks and I’ve been feeling it all morning. Im going to miss him. I had been excited to see where he took his meme page on FB because it seemed like something he really enjoyed. RIP Sean

He was cool and good and his memes were funny.

RIP Sean.

I'm not really sure I have the words to express how I'm feeling beyond "gently caress" and "aw gently caress."

We'll miss you, Sean.

It’s so out of nowhere too. He was just this constant presence in the chat, not a huge character but a reliable presence. Someone who’s listen.

Then you check the discord after being offline for a few hours and bam. Gone.

Hey guys, Sean's wife here.

I appreciate all the memories you guys are sharing. Sean was a great guy who really cared about others and this community really meant a lot to him. We've both been goons for over a decade. I'm so inspired that goons are already dedicating creative projects to Sean's memory, and I am so thankful for the support of this community.

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?
Sean was one of those few people that would randomly engage me when I'd join discord on the beginning of a day off just to drop in and say hi. I would only intend to briefly gauge how many folks were online (which - alas - at ungodly hours for cross-Atlantic goons, usually was only a few), and suddenly I found myself in an hour-long conversation about growing chilis / making chili sauce / BL books and content / beef jerky / German cultural shenanigans / etc. And it was never the kind of random chatroom conversation where it seemed like there's just some other guy with nothing to do on the other side of the internet that you're now stuck with having to respond to, it was the first-timer-Minecraft-tier of conversation, where you think "oh, I'll just spend a couple of minutes to have a look and then go about my daily business around the apartment", and suddenly it's 5am and there's a 30ft gold-block penis statue in front of your house.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Wroughtirony

Sucks to hear, I associate him with just sorta normal, sane posting which as we all know can sometimes be at at a premium in GiP. If I saw his av in the middle of a massive derail in the current events thread I at least knew it wasn't going to be a brain melting troll logic but something informative or at least pointing out the funny side of something. Condolences to the rest of your family, as they sometimes say in NZ, Kia Kaha, stay strong.

I waited to post something because I didn't have anything thoughtful or insightful to add. I thought a day or two would give me some clarity and allow me to write something more memorable. I was wrong. Sean was a cool dude and I enjoyed his conversation on discord and on these boards. I am sorry he is dead and will miss him.

Honestly, hearing this kind of thing is exactly what's been getting me through the past few days. Just knowing there are other people out there who miss him makes it easier.

Thanks. He passed suddenly and likely without any pain. As for the memories I'm lucky enough to know so many people whose lives he touched. It's been a blessing to hear everyone's favorite stories about Sean.

Thank you to everyone who has been keeping Sean's memory alive. I finally have a date for his inurnment at Arlington National Cemetery. September 17th at 10AM. Unfortunately, due to COVID at this time only 10 people will be able to attend which will limit the crowd to close family only. However, due to generous contributions to the gofundme and the generosity of Sean's loved ones, I'll be able to hire photographers and videographers to document the occasion. The company I am using has even reduced their prices for livestreaming during the pandemic so it's very likely that I'll be able to provide you all a link to watch the service in realtime.

I know you loved him too.

Thank you for your support.

Great news! Arlington has relaxed some of their COVID restrictions and the limit on gatherings has been raised from 10 to 50. This means that anyone who wants to attend Sean's inurnment will be able to do so. If you plan on going, just give me a heads up so I can keep you caught up on details as the date approaches.

Yup. I'm having the service both videotaped and livestreamed.

Anyone who plans to attend please give me a heads up so I can expect you. There's room for everyone. For the rest of you, watch this space for a link to the livestream. Sean's dad hired a bagpiper so that will be an added element.

There's the link to the livestream. It'll go up around 0950 on Sept 17.
