So where's Gaborn? (RIP Gaborn)

Unreal. My heart sank and I didn't know the guy at all, apart from his posts on GAF.

Gaborn was the kind of guy that could make you actually think about something you'd always been blind to or against. I often disagreed with him, but always respected how he handled himself.

So maybe we need to start looking up more lost members. Jeez...still can't believe it. :(

I do wonder about this. Some just fade away, but I'm sure there are those that pass away suddenly and we never know.
 
Well, this is just heavy. He always made interesting threads, it's really sad that he had to leave at 27. Too young, deserved much, much better from his health.

RIP Gaborn. And RIP CopperTracks as well, didn't know him at all though, so I can't say anything else. But I'm sure he was a great person.
 
Absolutely horrible news. Surely to ruin the rest of my day. Gaborn was one of GAF's best, and although I rarely agreed with him in politics he always seemed like a genuinely nice and funny person.

Goodbye, Gaborn. I hope you can share some crazy stories with Scorcho :(
 
Wow. Loved his threads - Always enjoyed that there was someone not afraid to post the worst and discuss it at length.

RIP, mate.
 
This is a sad day. We have 3 confirmed deaths on gaf now then? Was scorcho the first time gaf new for sure someone passed away or has the community know about other losses too in the past?
 
Holy hell...glanced at this thread yesterday and did not expect it to turn out like this.

Incredibly sad news, RIP. Multiple quality GAF members gone within such a close period of time =[
 
Gaborn threads were always interesting. Rarely posted in them but often read them.

It got me to thinking what if I died- no one would know it outside of probably my family, and when they go, no one would know. It's kinda scary.
 
WOW, you never expect to come onto to Gaf and find out that one if its most known posters is gone, such a shock!

Gaborn always seemed like a very cool, informed guy who always managed to bring some good discussions and well thought out points and of course his news threads were always a highlight (even as depressing as they could be) and will always be remembered.

RIP, Gaf and many more im sure will miss you
 
So incredibly sad. I didn't knew him, but I have always admired his unrelenting energy. I feel like a part of GAF died... Rest in peace, Gaborn.
 
Whoa... RIP Gaborn... I haven't been here for long, known or talked to him but I always enjoyed his threads on the off chance I open the OT tab. They always brought me back to life and the world, and made me realize how tiny my problems are or how life is unexpected.

I missed all the news on Scorcho too... RIP :(
I didn't know him either but his iconic avatar always caught my attention because I knew I will be reading something funny/clever...

...
 
RIP Gaborn. :(

Man, it's so weird seeing one of your own pass away. It's like a comradery. I feel sad for a man I've never even met.

You'll be missed. :(
 
Dude waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Awwww man, RIP dude. :(

The close proximity of this and scorcho's passing makes me wonder how many less visible gaffers die on a regular basis. We'd probably just assume they'd stopped posting.
 
I felt that Gaborn was one of the more prominent members on this board.

I might not have agreed with most of his thread topics, but he was a part of what made GAF GAF. RIP Gaborn
 
Of course his final thread related to him was the most depressing of them all. Typical Gabon....I did like his animal threads though, they were always interesting. RIP. :(

Well I'm aware of Scorcho, and naturally Gaborn who would be the third?

Edit: I'll wear this in honor of him for a while. :(
 
I can't believe it. :(

I enjoyed reading Gaborn's weird news stories. Always joked around with him about 'Gaborn News' and how I was one of his biggest fans.

I wondered if he actually posted the same day he died. The time when I look at his profile though, is '03:08 AM'. That would mean it was still the 25th when he last posted.

Yeah, this is very sad news.
 
I will change it if you guys request it, if it causes confusion. I took this idea from posters honoring Scorcho.

Edit: I will hold off as to prevent confusion.
 
I haven't been here that long and I didn't know Gaborn at all, but that really fucking sucks. Came across threads/posts of his every now and then and he seemed like a very opinionated, stubborn, yet intelligent and articulate guy. Even when I disagreed with him I still had a great deal of respect for his opinions. I entered this thread when it first started and it was just a bunch of silly jokes. I really can't believe that it turned into this.

My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
 
Sad news, a little bit of GAF dies with him :(
Whatever world you’re in now I hope you penetrate it as hard as you did ours.
