Goodbye, my friend.
14 years ago
I’ve never written one of these before.
They say only the good die young.
So why did this happen?
If you didn't see Fossil's journal earlier,
OMGTKB has passed away.
For those who didn’t know him, he was angry, vulgar and blunt, ripping into others who he perceived as being morons or annoyances with venomous, eloquent insults.
But, he was ALSO talented, funny and honest, with a level of sensitivity most people wouldn't think he was capable of, and deeply cared for those he considered friends.
In early July he was suddenly hospitalised and went through several surgeries. Someone cut his ponytail off for absolutely no reason. He was in a coma for roughly a week.
Earlier this month he came home. Weak, but alive, and appreciative of the fact. He was getting physiotherapy. He was determined to get his strength back so he could get back to drawing, and to improve his health.
On Sunday evening he went to take a nap and didn’t come back.
He was more loved than he ever believed or realised; he had a way of being identifiable and memorable. I don't think he really got the attention and credit he really deserved.
I was looking forward to his future plans and goals; I was ready to participate and support, and laugh and encourage and hang with and tease and work with and argue and debate and listen and trade art and just generally enjoy being in his presence again, as I usually did. If anything I could depend on Ben to be as antisocial, alcohol-free, non-party, work-on-sketchbooks-in-a-hotel-room as me, and still have a great time.
I’ll miss him; and I’m not the only one.
G'bye Ben, you weren't always good people, but you were my friend and I dug ya. Try not to goose too many angels...or devils. Have some virgins on me if anything, tho I'm sure you'd've preferred sluts; sorry I don't have any available in my belief system's version of Paradise.
I know you wouldn't have wanted me or any of your other friends to be sad or to do/draw anything special for you, which works out for me at least, because I've already been drawing tits all month, heh.

His family and friends will be in my thoughts and prayers.
My condolences.
Condolences to all his friends and family.
My condolences and best wished to those who loved him and those he loved. May He rest in peace and may his memory never die.
I hope no one gets offended but I thought of this song after seeing this. Something for all those that we've lost recently. Friends and family alike.
If not wanted then say so, I'll take it down or by all means removed it. Block it.

He'll live on through the minds of those he has entertained and influenced, though I wish I had a much more eloquent way of saying that befitting of his legacy and the weight of the situation.
A moment of silence.
Man...
Rest in peace, sir. You will be remembered.
RIP Ben
Thanks for all the laughs throughout the years.
Wish I had more chances to hang out and talk with him in the past.
I never really got to know him, but now I feel really bad I'll never get the chance.
He will be missed. =(
