[Escape Goat]

I never talked to him outside of responding to his posts but I am pretty bummed out. GAF is diminished without his postings.

 

[Tunavi]

how old was he? Any cause of death known?

 

[Fracas]

RIP, man. You were a great poster and from what I could tell, a great guy.

 

[Esch]

I'm very sorry to say that I'm fairly certain Gaborn passed away on September 26th, 2012.

It's not my place to violate his privacy or speak on behalf of his family, but there is an obituary for someone matching his exact name and birthday in the state where he lived.

holy shit?

RIP

[the anime man]

I didn't know him too well outside of the forum, but it sucks to hear about someone on here dying. RIP.

 

[RumblingRosco]

RIP Gaborn.

I don't think he ever posted news purely to make us all sad, but it some how seems fitting that his final thread, even if he didn't create it, is probably his very saddest.

 

[Shepard]

This is really, really unfortunate. Even though I didn't meet him irl, he was a Damn good poster. Rest in Peace Gaborn.

 

[Tobe]

Goddamit Gaborn too?
RIP.
even tho his news thread weren't always happy ones the discussion in them was really interesting. Dude will be missed.

 

[saelz8]

The hell.

RIP Gaborn

 

[Devolution]

WTF.

Everyone, Gaf, everyone go to the doctor, get a check up. I don't want anyone else dropping out on us.

RIP if true. Gaborn was a legend.

Without airing his business Gaborn had health issues, I had no idea they were this bad though, he rarely talked about it at least to me.

 

[Judderman]

RIP Gaborn.

 

[Takamura-San]

The hell....

RIP

No title change?

 

[Slayven]

RIP

 

[Brannon]

Well.

I'll miss him, GAF wise.

 

[Trouble]

RIP :'(

Don't know who made this, but it seems especially appropriate today.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Damn this fucking sucks.

RIP

 

[Kud Dukan]

What the hell...

RIP Gaborn

 

[Greg]

Damnit.

RIP, Gaborn.

 

[CrankyJay]

He was definitely a fixture around here. This sucks.

 

[Takao]

What the ... Wow. Gaborn wasn't someone who always posted the best of news, but he was a staple of the OT. You'd expect a soul crushing story, but this is not the next crushing story I expected. RIP Gaborn. My condolences to your family and personal friends.

 

[BY2K]

Fuck.

Just... fuck.

RIP Gaborn.

RIP Gaborn. GAF is a very sad place as of late.

what...the....fuck

Um....RIP?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I am sad and always seen the threads he posted from the sidelines. I only wish he could have spoken to us and came for comfort but he likely passed away on a whim. I hope he had family or friends around him.

RIP

He was on NeoGAF on the day of his death, I think some sort of accident is more likely.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

This is the ultimate depressing Gaborn thread

This is the way he would have wanted us to feel. Confused, sad, and doubting the legitimacy of the claims.

 

[Biff]

Wow, crazy way to find out. Makes me wonder if my family would post a thread in the event that I passed suddenly. Sad thought.

RIP Gaborn.

 

[ivysaur12]

Perfect.

 

[Drugula's Wrath XXX]

R.I.P.

Gaborn.

 

[kassatsu]

So sad.

RIP Gaborn.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

RIP

 

[Vanille]

The fuck. This is so surreal.

RIP Gaborn

 

[apana]

Your threads made me depressed but I'm even more depressed now that you are gone. Goodbye, I hope you were at peace before you died.

 

[Rur0ni]

Insanity.

Forget that people die (in this bubble). Log on expecting to see the same handles/avatars everyday.

Life is short folks.

 

[Schadenfreude]

This is such a crappy way to find out about someone's passing. RIP, Gaborn.

 

[Joel Was Right]

I refused to believe it until the third page. I liked his posts, he seemed like a very caring person. Do we know his name? Did he post a picture?

Two well known, and might I add, well liked gaffers, have passed away recently. I would really appreciate if Tyler could commemorate them somehow for a few days.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Without airing his business Gaborn had health issues, I had no idea they were this bad though, he rarely talked about it at least to me.

It appears someone quoted Gaborn earlier in this thread where he mentioned the main conditions. Obviously nothing more than that can be known.

 

[Solo]

Goddamn. :_(

R.I.P.

 

[Nakazato]

I just read this on wario64 twitter and wasnt sure if he was serious.

Damn RIP

 

[mugurumakensei]

He was on NeoGAF on the day of his death, I think some sort of accident is more likely.

Debilitating illnesses can flare up suddenly and take you.

 

[DukeBobby]

RIP Gaborn

This is horrible, unexpected news.

 

[Chumly]

Gaborn actually mentioned his conditions not too long ago:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=41388085&postcount=24
He defied the odds for a long time. It just won't be quite the same around here

RIP My wife has hydrocephalus . I hope his wasn't out of control

 

[Levyne]

Rest in peace, Gaborn.

 

[ATF487]

Starting to wonder how common this is. Scorcho and Gaborn were pretty notable boarders, but what about the more quiet ones?

 

[Anth0ny]

damn

RIP Gaborn

 

[Loudninja]

RIP man.

 

[DY_nasty]

RIP :'(

Don't know who made this, but it seem especially appropriate today.

This made me laugh in one of those weird ways.

 

[water_wendi]

Bah fuck. Horrible news.

RIP
