If there is anything I can do, please tell me. *wraps my wings around you gently*
That's scary stuff and I'm so sorry your mate died Narse :(
That happened to me. The lady didn't look to her left and pulled out when I was too close, and she never saw me coming. I won't lie, I did the hitting but it wasn't my fault. She failed to yeild, and pulled out into the highway in front of me thinking the roads were clear since she wait for the car on the southbound lane to pass, which was on her right, while I wasn't too far from the intersection on the northbound lane (to her left). Before the last 2 seconds I knew I couldn't stop my SUV, so I aimed the strike away from the driver, toward her front. The crash span around and totally mangle the front of her small hybrid and all I had a warped chassic and half of the engine was smashed. The both of us were lucky, and even more since we were the only two at the intersection at that time. The street she came from, runs back to town and had stop signs and warning plastered all over the road, and the road I was on was the highway that bypassed town for truckers. After taking a look at the mangled remains of the front and the look of how banged she was, I realized I surely could have seriously injured or killed her. :C
But this is very sad.

My deepest, dearest sympathies.

I'm so sorry to hear, Narse... *hug*
When I found out this morning I felt like hell and instantly had a quick flash back of our meeting at AC and who I had met while speaking to you and realized it.
Go rest man, ill log my skype in in case you need it, but I'm pretty sure you will be surrounded by love.
R.I.P. Athus. Hardly knew ya, a real shame..
Much love to you. We're all here to support. <3
There's already enough hate in this world and you know that, me and you don't need to add to it.. so can we let bygons be bygons? :)
*hugs tightly* He will be missed.

Please don't hesitate to talk to us. We're here for you.
Life can be hard but we should, we have, we must, just keep over the worst things and look beyond to the future.

Take care, and be strong.

Deepest condolences to all...we've lost a wonderful brother and friend. He made the world a more awesome place.
My heart and thoughts go out to you and to all that knew him.
Im so so sorry for your loss.
A bit rude, as well.
His actions and beliefs will be remembered forever
May he Rest in Peace
I know that you and I (and Bakel) never really got to know each other that well, but please keep in mind that we are here for you. Should you need anything, we'll drop everything and help you in any way that we possibly can.
I hope to keep in contact with you. Stay strong.
Forwarded. I'm incredibly sorry for your loss Narse, the world has lost a wonderful man and dragon. I sent an email with a story I had of him. However brief it is.
We all still have our memories, keep him close to your heart. You never lose the one you love, so long as you love the one you lost.
(My attempt at a Welsh condolence.)
to torture
-_-
i my self may be experiencing this situation soon with
but all in all im allways here for you if you ever need some one to chat with..
take care and be strong
May he rest in peace.

But honestly, I can't help thinking that it's really time something is done about people dying so often in car crashes. God... it's year 2011, and we still hear about that so often! It's not like going on the road has to be like going in the war or something. Any normal country finds something to do about this...
Though such wonderful people live on in the hearts he touched and in the art he drew, may that be his gift for the living world....
I think my best memory of him will be when I visited in April. There was one time when I was playing that Afrika photography game on the PS3, and he just watched me play for like, hours... I know it seems like kind of a boring and uneventful memory; I mean I didn't think anyone would really want to watch me play that game. But he did, and I really enjoyed spending that time with him. I'm so glad I did get to have moments like that with him before this.
Be strong, Narse. He'll be missed terribly by so many people.
Be strong, mourn the best way you can, and take comfort in the great network of friends you have that care deeply for you.
R.I.P Athus, we will all miss you.
R.I.P. Athus Nadorian
You have my condolences.
I hope he is somewhere better now...
Be strong Narse *hugs
I am.. stunned to hear this, Narse. Your loss is something I can scarcely comprehend, even knowing Athus as an old friend rekindled. My thoughts and good wishes are with you, and with the joyful spirit he carried within him, wherever it now travels.
Thank you: thank you for being such a wonderful mate for him, having such a kind heart, and being such a joy in his life. You gave him happiness, and I cannot thank you enough for that.
And I thought "I" had a rough day... I feel silly.
I wish you the best Narse. *offers a hug*
If you EVER need anything, PLEASE do not hesitate to call me. Really. <3
oh my god.....
Going out so young, I can't imagine how hard this must be for everyone close to him, especially you.
I hope you pull through this dark time ok.
I've had beloved people die on me too.
it's so hard to lose someone so close.
this is for you. if you need to let it out.
and cry you heart out. I know it doesn't help make it better. but at least you can calm yourself.

RIP, Athus.
I'm not even sure what to say. My heart goes out to you and his friends and family.
I never got the chance, as many had to get close to him. But I used to talk to him a while back, he was always very lovely, friendly and the sort of person you could just talk to easily. I feel shocked and upset over this, I can only imagine what you and those truly close to him feel.
He will be truly missed, this world will be a little sadder without him in it :(
Though, however it may sound, he has obviously touched the lives of a lot of people. He will live on in the memories of those that knew him.
Keep strong and know that we are all here for you.
*hugs*
The most that happened is you didn't know athus' gender.
I try not to assume about people, especially online.
I didn't know him but I'm sure he was nice.
Life's cruel oftem - too often in fact.
Keep in mind that he will be alive in your heart and your memories. So he will never leave you :)
I'm so sorry...
You, your family and extended family and your mate are in my thoughts.
RIP Athus..
You'l never be forgotten.
I've never even met him nor exchanged anything more than maybe one or two comments, and it's left me feeling numb.
Remember that distant though some of us here may be, that we're all here to lend what support we can.
Oh wow.
I will miss Athus very much!
May peace be with him.
}:>
I never knew about him until now, but I want to give you my deepest condolences for your loss, dude. He sounds like he was an awesome guy, and I hope he's at peace wherever he is...
I'm so... incredibly sorry... to think I talked to him not that long ago...
I don't imagine you'll be in short supply of friends, but if you ever want to talk at whatever odd hours I'll be around. My condolences :(.
Rest In Peace
You will be always in our hearths.
I re-watched the video he has posted three days ago in his journal... It looks different now...
Surely he will be missed. May he rest in peace.
Be strong dragon mate *hug*
My best wishes go out to you and his loved ones. May he rest in peace.
I'm so sorry for the loss.
if you ever need someone to talk to or vent to I'm here for you.
Ive lost a many of loved ones in my day and I understand how hard it could be /:
R.I.P Athus
You are and will be missed by many.

R.I.P Athus
although i never met you i wish i did, you sounded like a pretty amazing guy.
I'm sorry for your loss.
*gives a big dragon hug*
i hope you're okay, narse.
R.I.P. Athus.
And as i was saying, ultimately life goes on. The Earth keeps spinning, the sun falls & rises, I wakes in the morn & sleepeth in the nigh, day becomes night & night becomes day etc. No point looking back and feeling saddened by the past, we must move forward into and focus on the future. As that is where we are going, not where we've already been as in the past.
*hugs Narse*
R.I.P. Athus, though I may not have known you, but from what it sounds, you must have been awesome.
When you love
You are not alone
The One You Love
Is There Beside you....
He's in a better place, but will always be with you.
Hang in there! We're all here for you.
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, and his memory will live on forever <3
We hope you'll be ok Narse >.<
He sounded like a wonderful person. A tragedy to lose another good one, so young.
Please take care...
May he fly forever free.
you've got my phone number, so please feel free whenever you get the chance...
my heart goes out to you narse, and everyone affected by this.
MY heart goes out to you, Narse. Such a loss diminishes us all.
I'm really sorry to hear this, he sounded like an amazing person and you as well.
I bet you two had an amazingly happy time together, my deepest condolences to you and his friends and family.
He will be missed by everyone in the fandom. my thoughts and wishes go you and his family.
Yourself, and his family are in my thoughts with this sad news.. I wish you all the best, and you know I'm always here for support,
May he Rest in Peace
Stay strong my friend. My deepest condolences to you and his family.
Gone is not forgotten, and unseen is not absent.
I didn't know him that well, but he was a big-ish name in the fandom and you guys all have my condolences.
Be well.
Rest in Peace and Live well in the after-life Athus. You will be missed by all the dragons of FA.
We will all miss him and mourn his loss.
We're all here for you though bro
I must confess that I didn't know Athus, not even superficially. Yet, I am pained to read that he is no longer with us, and regret that I will never have the chance to meet him or speak to him. I wonder to myself what he was like.
Narse, we are here for you. You are not alone. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so sorry. These words cannot fully express the sincerity with which I offer you my condolences.
Athus, I never got the chance to know you. You have friends and family that remember you fondly. I just wanted to tell you that you're a wonderful person, and your premature departure has touched even me, a complete stranger. I hope you found peace.
~ ∞
if its any consolation, i can really just feel that he loves you still. and would want you to know that. regardless of anything, love is there. be well, and know that you have prayers for you and him
I shall raise a drink to his name soon. May he rest in peaceful slumber.
I was working on a very personal story for him. I've already put probably 60-70 hours worth of work into this story already, and I spent long hours getting to know Athus so I could tailor the story to be something that he'd deeply enjoy. It was going to be a surprise gift between me and Narse. Athus never even knew about it. I never even got to finish it....
And now he's gone.....
I feel so bad right now.
I wish I'd talked to Athus, myself, but I never did. I feel bad to have missed my chance of knowing a wonderful person like him... And I wish condolences to you and everyone else who knew him much better than me. I loved his art and the I know the impact me made in the community as a whole...
Im so sorry, Narse....*BIG BEAR HUGS* You have my prayers for you and Athus' family.
Remember in celebration the life he led for all that it was.
I am crying as I write this,
Sorry for loss but stay strong for
Its never easy losing anyone.
My condolences to everyone affected by this tragedy.
*hugs tight*
My dearest of condolences...R.I.P. Athus Nadorian, you are gone from us in body but never far in spirit.
I do hope your doing okay as well Narse...I know it can't be easy. I lost a very close friend when they committed suicide. The pain never really goes away, but it does get easier in time. I know its hard but try to be strong I'm sure he'd want you to carry on.
i loved just seeing him. his user page for some reason always emanated an aura of happiness, like i always felt nice when seeing his username. i wish i could have talked with him. :(
hope you feel better soon, narse -hugs-
Everyone please be careful when you're driving! I don't want to hear news like this again. I ain't playin'.
I know I said it before but... I am so sorry. If anything, I hope that this helps.
Well I hope he is in a better place!
Rest well among the midnight stars, we'll always have you in our hearts
As for u Narse I am truly sorry for your loss I wish I could do more to help I hope that you recover well *embraces u in a friendly manor*
Narse you have my sympathies and respect. Should any of you ever need someone to talk to. I'll always be standing by. May his memory soar. Rest In Peace Athus.
I'm terribly sorry for your loss...I never knew him but still, we're all here for you.
...no way. no way in hell.
...oh dude, I'm so sorry...
Athus was one of the artists whose art I saw when I first came into the fandom. He will be missed
Rest In Peace Athus, your memory and your spirit will live on through the ages, loved by many, inspired many, may you live on and on in the hearts of those youv touched.
*hugs Narse tightly*
He mentioned on his profile that he worked for baddragon, and if he was at rainfurrest at their table i might have even seen him/talked with him. To know this is shocking to me. Does anyone know if he frequented cons with baddragon?
RIP, Athus. Sorry I didn't get to know you better. You seemed like a great guy.
I hope you're doing alright, Narse. You got my support, if you need it.
stay strong narse.
An please don't think about anything involving ending your life.. We all love you here in the Fandom an we are here to help in any way we can..
Loves an hug from Rawz Totaz..
(send me a PVT msg for my number)
-He started ignoring my Steam messengers for a large few weeks and I finally removed him from my friends list a couple days ago alone with a load of others that ignore me. I immediatly posted a "Good bye" before I had removed him from my Steam list.
I need a second opinion. I don't believe that its true
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEe260z453k
Good bye and good luck, wherever you may be.
All of my sympathy goes to you and his family. I can't imagine how hard it has to be for you all.
May the winds be with him. Even eternal peace. I'm really sorry for you narse of what happend...
Narse, I'm terribly sorry for your loss... It's a loss for everyone, just so much more for you and everyone else who was very close to him.
He will be missed... You all have my deepest condolences.
He shall be greatly missed and I can't imagine what you're going through. Just know that you've got hundreds of people who care for you, and want to help in any way we can. *offers a hug* No one deserves to have anything like this happen and you'll be wishing you well, if it helps at all.
I wish I had had a chance to know him beyond his artwork.
and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for
that which has been your delight. Death leaves a
heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory
no one can steal."
My condolences Narse. May the love you have felt stay warm in your heart.
I haven't had the chance to talk or meet neither of you two, but I follow both from the distance, watching whenever a new drawing appears and stuff like that.
Be strong, take care and take all the time off you need to mourn. I'm very sorry to hear this and I hope you manage to put yourself together and somehow (I know it sounds ridiculous now) carry on.
You can do it, be strong and take care!
saludos!
a fellow dragon.
good bye Athus...i will always miss you
however, he will not be an old photograph on a shelf. his life will be celebrated, and remembered for as long as the rest of us are alive to do so.
Remembrance is the sweetest flower
Of all this world's perfuming:
Memory guards it sun and shower,
Friendship keeps it blooming.

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak, I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower, slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart, my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
athus is a awesome guy
he drew me a picture of shila years ago just out of kindness of his heart
commissioned him for 3 more pictures and they was really mind blowing good
loved athus's art style
i talked to athus alittle bit and he was always a great guy
i hope you narse will be ok
really lost for words
just remember, you have scores of dragons, scalies, furs and other critters here for your support
*huggles you* :33
One of you damn sciencey people invent a time machine already, I need to travel back and fix this
I won't say "my condolences", because I'll be honest -- I have no idea wth that even means, or why anyone says it.
But I will say this...I'm sorry for your loss. *nuzzles the dwaggy* I can't even imagine what you must be going through...
And I wasn't one fortunate enough to know him personally...
*conjures up a wide array of flowers, and sets them aside for the beloved seadwaggy*
I am sorry for your loss.
Hope, peace and love from my family to yours.
Hugs Narse
May the life and love he gave live on.
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6674349/
I hope you like it, and I hope everything progresses well, it seems like he would enjoy for you to continue living your life.
All I know is I'll certainly send in wishes for his family.
Today a friend has passed
Who never should have gone.
A dragon of the sea,
Whose spirit was a-drawn.
Left this earth today by means of the metal of man
Though certainly had wished to go with love upon the sand.
No more can wistful images be brought about his page,
No more can happy times be spent with him as we all age.
Gone away from us, whom shall miss him so
Athus, my distant friend, I’m sad to see you go.
As emotions truly I cannot rightly express,
In words and verse here I shall try and ease my duress.
Your art was of a caliber none soon can hope to match,
Your heart of a size a great dragoness must’ve hatched.
Its tragic the way you had to leave this world behind.
I hope in the end you left with peace and love upon your mind.
I hope you did not linger in the throes of pain too long
I hope you watch down over us and care for us with song.
I truly am sad to have to see you go,
You will be dearly missed, I hope that’s been shown.
~~~Rest In Peace~~~
Athus Nadorian aka Brian Dyer
(January 18, 1982 - October 11, 2011)
Personally, I did not know Athus, but it aches my heart to see this.
There is no way to describe how one must feel who was close to Athus,
but I hope you can move on and remember him as the person he was.
Rest in peace athus, you will be missed.
RIP, Athus
may he rest in peace
It is of course we should enjoy life,do everything that make people fill their joys,includin' yerself.
For seeing this,I apologize for yer loss,but cheer up alright? :)
it;ll get better narse
Keep him in your heart and cherish what time you had. Though he was most certainly taken too soon, his time before he was taken away brightened the world.
Fly well Athus.
All we or anyone can do now is to wish him well on his journey. He blazes the path and clears the way for those who will follow.
Narse, many will say many things to you over the next few days. I cannot do much more that what has been said by many before me. Remembeer his life, what he brought you, what he brough us all. Do not dwell over his passing... Celebrate his life, the joy he gave you. No it will not be easy, it never is. You were blessed with his presence more than anyone. I wish you well, I wish you strength!
May your spirit always shine down on us and fill all our hearts.
I don't expect my comment to ever be read(There are over 400 to count as I type this), but it is good to see that the fandom can come together when needed to be. I can only hope that it's sympathy can somehow ease the burden that troubles you and yours, as I know it would mine should it ever happen to the ones I love.
It's been a shit year for a lot of people...
It'll be okay, Narse.
I'll post a journal linking to this one.
I guess it comes down to this - I'm so sorry for your loss and for his life being cut short. I really hope that all your friends and family will be there for you.
It's such a gentle tribute to the character of the man, that so many people thought the world of him.
~Carlos
The best way to remember them is to celebrate their life, the highs and lows and honor their memory in their passing.
Condolences to the family and friends RIP Athus Nadorian
Just to note: this happend a day before my 29th birthday so to see this really put my life in focus :(

Athus is in a better place.
Pray for his good way in the dragon heaven
I can't believe it, and I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is, either.
Just saying "My condolences for your loss" doesn't really seem like enough to me, but...what else do I have?
I know we only sort of talked a little, and I may not be the best person for this, but if there's anything you feel that I can do for you, you go right ahead and let me know.
I've added this to my group here.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't begin imagine what you're going through right now. For what it's worth, just know that you have my support.
Nobody deserves this.
29 years old and a car accident... yeeesh. I just woke up from a nap and my inbox is flooded with journals about his passing.
Wings here on earth
Inspired many after birth
Dragon's fire we admire, dire news and adieus
Rest in peace after mighty flight to the light
He will be missed, my condolences to you and any friends & family of him.
RIP
I often felt detached from the world, but here is where I really felt at home. Mainly between you both, my artwork collection grew. Obviously branching out later, but at first it was you both. It's pretty terrible losing someone close to you, especially how extremely close you both were. Never talking to either of you once, but it's like you both were bound to my soul. After losing some close family members so early on, it's like I lost that part of me to cry until now. Guess it's because really, I never had lost something so close to me in a long time.
My deepest condolences to you and everyone affected, it's a heart-felt grief that really hurts deep down. I didn't even really think about it, when I happened to view his page and seen the deceased tag. It just didn't really click at all, then I read the blog and it really hit home. No matter what, you'll always have a large family here, to help shoulder the burdens. Just reading the entire blog it was a huge blow, then reading the comments it's hard to compare in how much I'll be of help.
I just sat for about 5 minutes, just as it sank in and had a few tears for his memory. It's just something nobody can expect, also been just going through my music to find a suitable song. It's one thing to really feel sad because of the news, but really I need a bit more to cry beyond what little I did. You'll always be held as a wonderful artist, person and overall loving soul. I think they broke the mold, when you both were made and it's a dire shame. There needs to be more loving, caring, and overall thoughtful people in this world.
I'll be around to console what pain I can, being the quiet lurker has been my general thing. Silently being a guardian, watching over those I do know. We all need one sometime. You both have been a perfect symbol of the community. Don't forget we'll always be here, no matter how deep the troubles turn out to be. Through thick and thin. Be that we have scales, feathers, fur or anything else at all, we're all the same on the inside.
Athus will always be the strong dragon you remember, so long as you keep the memory deep in your heart. We all will remember him forever, even if we don't all say publicly we'll support you Narse.
*offers a wing and a hug to the dragon*
Why am I the last to know about this kind of shit?! Anyway as many have said before me, I can't even imagine how you must feel right now. No amount of words or tears can fix a broken heart if my mate
ryuakira I probably well I don't want to imagine it I honestly don't.
I didn't know this man, but I feel for your loss and I am so sorry I really am. If I could bring him back for you I would damn if I were god I would bring back all the lost love ones we lost over the years. But anyway I am deeply, deeply sorry, and I do hope where ever his spirit ends up that you two will one day meet again.( kinda sounds lame to some) but it's the best I got. If you ever need someone to talk to I am here.X-I~
P.S I think I want to do a tribute to him and you I think its proper. I know it won't change a damn thing but at least it will help in some way if any at all.
I don't know either of you personally, but I'm very sorry for your loss. If you need a random stranger to talk to, I'm here :)

R.I.P Athus
You will be missed greatly by all.
Hit me up any time if you ever need a shoulder to cry on. i'll listen.
Requiescat in pace.
again, his loved ones have my sincerest condolences
I'm very sorry for your loss I know it must hurt both you and the families and friends involved. God Bless you all.
I wish you strenght to withstand the pain of the loss.
In true dragon form though, he may be gone, but he will never EVER be forgotten. Not as long as we fans keep his memory alive and kicking.
Much love, man. Hang tough, the hurt won't last forever. <3
the entire fandom, including people like me who have never spoken to either of you will forever remember him, our hearts and souls feel the hurt and share it with you and his family. i know my words must be pretty hollow, being a nobody from all the way down here but if you ever need my shoulder is yours to cry on.
forever asleep, never a dream. our dear friend, rest in peace
Rest well, Athus. On gentle tides.
I hardly got to know Athus, but he was a truly special person...
rip Athus, from what Ive read you sounded like an awesome guy its sad I never got to meet you or get to know you better if we did meet
My heart goes out to you both. <3
Stay strong.
You and any friends or family of Athus have my condolences and I hope that you can all eventually recover from this loss.
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2814934/
Although I don't know either of you I have let your work into my life in some way ever since I really discovered a part of myself about 7 years ago. As a fox, a perv, someone who loves dragons and their backsides, and as someone who appreciates good artwork. I don't think you'll read this, but if you do I wanted you to know that hearing this had made me better aware of how quickly you can lose the ones you love. To not take for granted and enjoy even more what it is I have.
I can't imagine the loss you feel, have felt or will feel in the future. My mind simply doesn't want to think about what it would be like. When the time comes time that you have to move on, I hope that you continue to produce the good work you have in the past. You are clearly not short on good wishes, and although time is fleeting, the spirit is timeless. It will continue. So continue loving, laughing and enjoying ass all that you can, because when the time is right your spirits will be together again.
Keep a picture of him in your wallet with that fact written on it. It will a great strength in the face of terrible grief.
Rest in eternal peace, fellow dragon brother.
Best of wishes and warmest of hugs that can be given.

Narse, almost no one can imagine what you are going through, I guess.
When one Person dies, he disappears... along with his Past, current Lifestyle, and his Future. But I'm sure we won't let him die completely. As long as he will not be forgotten, he will continue to live on within your very Heart, and in all of our Hearts as well. He sure was a great Artist, that's a Fact everyone can see. But he was so much more than just an amazing Artist, he was loved, he had Friends, he had Family - not just Fans. Those lucky enough to know him in Person and everyone else who was important to him, Parents, Silbings, Friends and you, all those who are left behind will gather and strengthen their Bondings as Time goes by, by sharing Memories of him. He will never be truly dead as long as he won't be forgotten, but espacially those dear to him won't let that happen. He will live on as long as there is something and someone left behind, proving or knowing of his Existance, his Dreams and Spirit he once had.
Athus left something important in all of us, I suppose. Not just in those who are dear to him, but in all of us, as well.
"Live your Life as if it was your very last Day".
This Saying is well-known, for all of us. But Accidents like this show us in a dramatical Way how quick and how surprising it all can end.
Just thinking about Narse and Athus' other Friends and Family literally breaks my Heart, and I'm not ashamed of my Tears for them.
Narse... I wish you'll find the Power to go on within those who can really, physically be there for you - I really wish I could.
I'm sure, Athus wouldn't want you to suffer like this, he wouldn't want you to be alone like this.
He would want you to be strong for him, and I'm sure wherever he may be right now,
he will be watching you and be along your Side always and forever.
Keep him in your Memories always, don't ever let him die.
Rest in Peace and never be forgotten

I'm sorry.

“A young life has passed but despite the tragic ending you’ll still be remembered and loved for a long long time. No matter what you done, no matter who hated you, you’ll still be remembered by friend and foe alike. You enjoyed life to the full, not looking back but looking forward. Only the good die young and in this case too young but you’ll be ascending to the heavens to join many of the great folk in history.
The thoughts and prayers of many will be with you and your boyfriend, who is recovering in hospital, and I hope he’ll pull through as I know you’ll look down on him and guide him through life’s troubles.

Athus gets it easy- He's flying.
You, on the other hand, and the others linked with him here in this mortal coil, are stuck with just the hole his earthly presence left.
I hope it is ok, that I dedicate that song to Athus...

I never saw this before...
R.I.P. ATHUS
We all love you and we'll never forget you
Even though I never known Athus personally, I can feel he was a wonderful person, who touched the lives of lots of people and was loved by many.
He will be remembered, and as long as there is one who remembers him, he might have died, but he will not be gone.
To the ones who are here, my best wishes. Be strong.
Farevell dragon, love your pics...
don't know whattowrite.. words are sensless in that moment.... be brave Narse... be brave...
Im a person who has a hard time expressing any kind of emotion and i feel music helps with doing so. Im so sorry.
You have all of us as family Narse.
We are here if you need any of us for anything.
Athus will be missed by so very many of us.
May he never be forgotten.
"... remove one from us... and the whole suffers..."
athus ... no ...
I'm really sorry about that *hugs*
You both are always at mind and in my heart and i wish you the best
R.I.P athus
Rest in Peace, Athus, we will not forget you.
I've never met him, but from what I can gather he was a good spirit
He will be loved and truely missed by all who knew him
Let's hope he'll be re-born in time :3
Life is precious and life is also very short. There are times when people do not attempt to understand or accept those that they deem somewhat different than they are. This has gone down through history and unfortunately; it seems that it is meant to continue, probably well past my time here on this planet.
My heartfelt condolences go out to any one of our member's families that have lost their battle to a disease or lost their life to tragedy or maybe those that have lost the war but won all the battles along the way. I also grieve for the partners of our members that have passed on. They too, suffer an inconsolable loss!
There is no such thing as closure for a family that has lost a loved one, only the fact that the present grief, will eventually turn into happy and sweet memories. Time heals all wounds; yet we never forget.
When someone is forgotten, their life and the way they lived, no longer has any value. Don't ever let the happy or even the sad memories slip away. Once memories dissolve, so does the meaning of the persons life!
Love each other unconditionally and care about your partner and neighbor, no matter what he or she believes personally! Do an act of kindness for someone that you don't even know as a way to honor someone that you have lost. They will just think you are a great person!
Challenge each other to be better people and tell your loved ones how much they mean to you each and every day; for tomorrow, they may not be here!
I was a big fan of his work.
He will be missed.
Live each day my friends -
there is no telling when out time to fly away will come.
I wish him open skies to fly over peaceful new places.

Покойся с миром.
You have been the best artist.. The memory of you long continue in the pages of the FA. Wait for us - after 70 years, so we may meet again. ;D
Rest in peace.
You will be Athus. I plan on drawing something for you. After all, you work helped inspire Guardianmon.
Hang in there, I know it hurts.
The world lost a good man today, and a sweet dragon soul. His spirit was strong though, as his passing has affected a great many.
It's going to be rough for awhile, I know how much you loved him. It is my sincerest wish that you find the strength to push on without him, and return to loving and laughing and not give in to despair. Athus wouldn't want that and neither do your friends, your family, your customers, or even strangers like me.
All I can do is offer you my deepest condolences and the word hugs surrounded by asterisks.
*hugs*
*hugs* it may take days even months, but you have to hang in there... I'm so sorry.
Deus docebit vos anima tua, et dirige in caelum. Pax et felicitas et super vos protegant Narse spectes. In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Requiescant In Pace, Athus Nadorian. Requiescant In Pace. Amen.
(http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/2815113/ It'd be nice if people would read it, not for me, but for Narse and Athus. Thank you.)
And Narse. You have many, many people who are here to help and support you, no matter what. I'm really sorry about you losing, Athus. I really am...
Remember that. Athus would probably want you to stay strong.
My deepest Condolences on the loss.
I just wish I stayed in contact with him more.
Take care of yourself Narse.
I am so sorry for your loss, narse.
Fly High!
And please don't close your heart. If it hurts, share it. With someone... Anyone.
My deepest condolences Narse.
I cried and I've never met or heard of him.
I now wish I did.
~Emorald. C Draka~
And now i wished i had heard of him sooner rather then like this.
My condolences Narse. I'm so sorry.
Rest In Peace Athus.
I shed a tear for him and you Narse, may he be beside you always in spirit, reborn as the Dragon he once was in a new life.
Don't beat yourself up too much! Your friends and fans will always be there for you!
Athus, may you Rest In Peace!
My deepest condolences to those that knew him.
R.I.P
May God watch over him and may he rest in peace.
We're all here for you, man.
don't worry he's in a better place now.
Rest in peace Athus
Requiescat In Pace Athus Nadorian
Rest in Piece Arthus. May you be in a better place.
Even we talked a couple times on drawings. I was very honored and happy when He watched me here in FA, a talented artist like him watching an artist without talent like me.
I would have liked to meet him in person
I'm sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and his family
*Hugs*
I am so sorry for your loss. If I lost my mate, I don't know what I would do...
This January was the first time I ever met you in real life (and unfortunately the last time). I remember when both you and Narse were hanging out at the dealers table and the Adult Night Dragon Panel. My heart aches at the fact that I barely got to know you, both of us were outdoors men and we probably had a lot in common. You are flying free as a dragon watching over all of us with nothing holding you back. This is the first time that an event in the furry community has caused me to cry, and have a restless night of sleep. If anything your death has pulled the entire dragon community together. We are all dragons and someday we will all fly free from the bounds of this planet, and the problems and stress that we all face will be no more. We will spend eternity playing as dragons. Our human existence is only temporary but, dragons live forever.
For Narse:
Stay strong friend, we all are taking this hard. Athus was probably one of the most active members in the furry community and we all miss him. We will see him once again when we cross into the beyond and are endowed with our dragon bodies. If you need to, take a break for a while go out and explore the world. Athus will always be our guardians. Stay strong old friend.
Lots of support to you Narse, and to everyone who was close to him.
A day has now passed since I initially heard of this tragedy.
Even though I did not know Athus personally; I do seem to be experiencing some strong remorse over this sudden loss.
I may not have known him personally but I certainly did know his spirit which shines though his characters, art, and writings.
And I believe I am also feeling the pain of others, as a community of dragons and furs, who are all feeling this tremendous loss.
And I am actually shedding tears over this which is very rare for me.
So I do have empathy for those who were close to him but all I can offer is my condolences to his family and you, Narse.
I cannot even imagine how painful this is for you.
May love, and peace, be will you all and may the spirit of Athus fly high, and free, of his earthly bonds as he explores other planes of existence including, of course, those with other dragons.
}:>
I'm truly sorry for your loss.
Athus was a good man, and great artist. My condolence to you and to your friend :(
He will be missed.
From now on, I shall draw him as a tribute.
May the loving memories of him be always with you eternally
I think Athus is being take good care of in Gods hands. He will be sorely missed. And I know with time, your gain your happiness back. You just need some time to let off steam.
I DO hope you're feeling better yourself though, and that you recover from your wound without troubles too. I'm very very sorry for your loss my friend, and please accept all my condolences. I know how much you will miss him too. *hug you very tight*
Please come back to me when you could though, because I really would like to know you're doing alright.
I can't help but feel the world is a little bit darker without such a creative soul, may your spirit fly its highest, wherever you are.
It's sad to see someone so young to die in an accident like this.
My condolences to his family and his friends..
i know it's hard to say goodbye..but i know athus was glad to met someone like you man..we'll always remember him.
here's a song dedicated to him:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI-Jdq4DUq0
We will miss you athus..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inYm-XBFB6o
I'm pretty sure you can't materialize condolences, but I'm also pretty sure that if It was possible these would taste like sadness and empathy.
Oh, and take some Love too, someone left a whole lot of it here. Must be everyone who has a kind heart on FA.
~Luther Markos
I loved Athus like family too.
This news has messed me up, cant
stop crying.
Long Hugs.
I dont know what else to say.... Im lost for words, persay.....
Mors Principium Est
Athus is now free of his wordly bonds to sore high above us. Be assured he is watching and waiting, for one day we shall all be reunited with those we have lost. I don't just believe it, I feel it in my heart.
I weep for this loss and yet thank God such men could live.
I did not know him, nor do i know you well, narse, but i couldn't really believe it in the first moments.
Once i looked further it was confirmed that it truly happened. And even though i didn't speak a single work with you i did cry
That accident was not fair... who could think that this day, that day you woke up like every day, had breakfast like every day would be the day you die?
Noone could see that coming, and you have my deepest condolence...
But as long as we remember, as long as we do not forget our close friends, they will not really be dead... living on in your heart.
Again, you, and his/your family and friends got my deepest condolence...
May better times follow these rainy days

3: Ruhe in Frieden
We are truly sorry for your loss, and we can only hope you can keep going.
~John Lawhorne, Jackoman
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
We are all here for you, Narse. :3
Although I don't know him he had a profound impact on those around him including those who never even met him physically and to those who are literally on the other side of the world. I still can't believe someone at 29 Years old, someone still quite young, someone who still had so many years to come, so many years worth of learning, experiences, life, happiness and love to come go so soon....
RIP Athus, you will be missed T.=.T
But he'll always be alive in the hearts of those that loved him.
Rest In Peace, Brian Dyer.
Grief is neither a disorder
nor a healing process;
it is a sign of health itself,
a whole and natural gesture of love.
Nor must we see grief
as a step towards something better.
No matter how much it hurts -
and it may be the greatest pain in life -
grief can be an end in itself,
a pure expression of love.
- Gerald May -
May peace be with you when it is time.
I did not have the honour of knowing Athus personally, or even online. I now regret that after hearing how much of a kind, caring, and giving person he was. How I would love to tell him how his art made me feel. The suddenness of his departure from us is what I find most unbelievable. This was such a harsh reminder to me of the fragility of all of our lives, not knowing when our last day on Earth might be.
My heart cries out to his family, his closest friends, and of course to you narse, his loving mate. You must be absolutely devastated, and I feel so sorry for you. I hope that the immense outpouring of support from the dragon community, and the furry community in general will provide some degree of solace to your grief, as we too are heartbroken by his loss. We have lost not only a great artist, but an even greater person. He will be sorely missed by all of us, and never forgotten. His art, his spirit, and our memories of him will live forever.
May your wings find calmer waters, Athus Nadorian...
Just, take the time you need to heal both physically as well as mentally. Whatever you need to do to keep going... do it and keep going as best as you possibly can. We'll speak again my friend, when you are ready. *hugs*
This whole week I was so worried about trivial things like my school work and social life, and when I heard about this, all of that seemed like dust. Losing someone you love is a heavy weight to have on you. I only hope that you will be able to stay strong throughout all of this...
Much love to you big dragon... R.I.P. Athus... sorry I couldn't say more. I'm always so short of words when I feel this down about something like this...
i followed his work everywhere, on herpy, furaffinity and all of them were not only great… they are (and will be indefinitely) true masterpieces!
R.I.P Athus… May the Dragon Souls protect your’s. You’ve just left this cold polluted angry world and we’ll miss you forever.
Now you’re a true Dragon, be very proud of that.
Who loved him and his art must applaud, and i’m appluding right now…. and everytime i’ll listen his name.
Dragon art lost a valid representative
I sadly didn’t knew you personally, nor you me, but you were always some kind of Idol for me. I adore your art and creativity and always will!
Actually your art brought me into the Fandom and made so my boring life to the awesome life it is now. So there is actually no way to thank you for all what you did to me, and that all without that you ever even knew me, but I really thank you for all that <3
It's a shame that you had to leave us so early.
my deepest condolences goes to Narse and Athus's Family
I wish I could do something, and I bet I'm not the only one who do
Athus was an awesome artist and I regret that I commented to his Art not often enough to let him know that I appreciate his works very much and like his style and more... T_T
My thoughts are with you and his friends.
This is not only tragic - it surely slices a deep hole into your heart, as well.
My deepest condolences.
If you ever wanna talk, you know where to find me! Be strong!!
my sincere condolences...
I can't begin to imagine what you're going through.
May you feel winds of the love of not just Athus' spirit beneath your wings, but all those who adore him, there with you right now, Narse.
I think of you a lot, be strong ma friend! *hugs*
I'll never know how much it is hurting people who knew him better, i'm sorry for all of you to feel this pain.
I believe, that hundret of thousand people will always remember to him and his art what got a deep place in so many hearts, forever.
The entire fandom lost one of the most incredible artists that has ever existed. His art is truly an inspiration to everyone here and he will be missed a lot.
I'm really sorry for your loss Narse.
May the dragon's heaven takes care of his soul.

I'll get a 'cleaned up' version up shortly.
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I know what's its like to lose someone your close to, so I know how sad you must feel right now. Sadly, I never knew Athus, until now I didn't know about him at all, I wish I did. From what I'm hearing he was a great man who genuinely cared about everyone and has touched so many peoples lives in more ways than one. I'm here for you Narse, both you and Athus are in my prayers.
I didn't know him but I think it just hit me. Have seen a few deceased accounts here on this site lately and it hit me last night.
Also was thinking about my grand mother who passed away a few months ago due to altimeters disease (Not sure how to spell it) and old age. Then my biological mother died of a heart attack last April before Easter.
I'm truly sorry cause I know what its like to loose someone close.
and gods I dunno what I'd do if something happened to my mate. *Shakes* I'd be pretty shook up. Or worse.
But I'm truly sorry about this. I was also listening to some music on youtube earlier Iced Earth and this song came to my mind.
Watching over me. I do believe all our loved ones are watching over us as guardian angels.

This piece sums up how I feel right now, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16SJX8wldOc
My condolences.
But it will get better. Time will help you heal, despite your loss. The only advice I can really give you is to do your best to keep on living, and seek the comfort of everyone you care about through the worst of it. Do not let yourself be alone for too long.
Take care, man. Really, I mean it. You'll be alright. I don't think Athus would like seeing you tear yourself apart for his sake, so try and feel better when you can. Plenty of people are there for you in some way. I may not know you as a person at all, but I've been right where you were. I lost my girlfriend a few years ago, she was shot by gang members. Was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and it ended her life.
It sucked. A lot. I felt like shit for months, and I still miss her. But I made it through the whole thing, cause I stayed close to my friends as often as I could. When I had stupid thoughts, like possibly ending my own life, they told me that it was silly, and that it wouldn't solve a thing. It'd just be a waste.
I don't know you personally, but I'm there for ya. I think quite a few of us posting in this Journal are, and if you needed our help, we'd do our absolute best to give it. I know I would.
Feel better, Narse. We all wish you the absolute best, and we'll all miss Athus. Keep on going.
Im sure your mates spirit is still with ya.
Live your life in a manner so that when you die the world cries and you rejoice.
-Native American Proverb
/I think you had this covered Athus.
In other words, I never find myself thinking of how old or young someone is. They just are, and I never find myself thinking "What if this person died?"
And when it happens, for some reason, even if it is someone I don't know, it is truly a depressing thing to behold...
I am truly sorry for the loss. It is certainly something that nobody should ever have to deal with... And so young...
Just... Try not to focus on the mourning, so much as remembering the good times. Keeping his spirit alive in those memories you and others hold closest.
To be honest; I'm not sure about heaven, hell, or the afterlife, but... If there were such things, I am sure that the best way to let him rest in peace in this world and the next is to cherish those memories, and never forget.
This has hit me harder than I expected; the grief I feel has fuelled these images, which have helped keep me mostly-sane.

He will not be forgotten. Be well, take care of yourself.
As everyone else is saying, I'm open to listen if you ever need an ear or a shoulder to cry on.
(I believe we've met before, but I can't remember if it was you or not. It was at
Just know that you have all kinds of friends to help you.
i'm sorry if i am being rude, but...
...my condolences, since it's not my place to say anything else...
I wish you luck in the coming time of mourning and wish you the best.:
I never knew him. I personally didn’t know he existed till after his death, which is so very sad.
It seems that so many people loved this person and his art and it is a tragedy of the worst kind to hear that his life was taken so early.
Even greater tragedy that he left behind a mate of 5+ years, Narse.
I hope that Narse finds the strength, conviction and energy to continue and that Athus Nadorian lives on forever in the mind of all those who knew and loved him.
Good luck Narse. You’ll need it.
And to Athis himself; If there’s an afterlife, I hope you spend it watching over your loved one. He needs you now more than ever.
Rest Softly.
I really cant believe that what happened. He was really a great guy. I hope he rest in peace...
He live now in a better world where nobody can hurt him.
im realy sorry what happened narse. im really sorry about athus...
And I hope you survive this difficult time, because we all will be right by your side and stand by you.
may he rest in peace.
we will all miss him
He influenced so many other persons, which also includes me. Even I never met him, it feels like a big loss to me.
May he fly high somewhere.
Like many others who sent there condolences before me, his works were some of the first i saw when i joined this fandom.
And like so many other he also Inspired me, but what's different is he inspired me to be the kind of person i am now. When i heard this, not only did it feel like a stroke, i got lost, and i couldn't comprehend it. This is the first time I've ever cried for someone I've never met, and for a while after this news, it was as if i couldn't feel, no pain, joy, sorrow. There wasn't any of that, what i've gathered from everyone else's experiences tells me that not only was he a great person, one in a million, and From being around long enough, i caugh but a glimpse of the bond you two shared. I realized that people sometimes have described me in the same manner when i helped them in the past. And that felt like an additional punch to the face. Because with him, i honestly think, a small part of the person i am, left with him. It is because of this, that, while i'm no famous artist, nor could i hope to be half the man he was. That my tribute will be my life, the same things he did when he brought joy to so many people's faces. I know it might sound like complete nonsense, but honestly, i don't even expect you to read this whole thing. The fact is that, i think i speak for more than myself when i say this, and it's been said a thousand times, like a never ending echo, He was a great man, and he definitely would have wanted us all to live a life of happiness. Now, while i can't try and do anything that hasn't been done, I know he's up there somewhere, watching from above like a Guardian angel.

Please recover *hugs tightly*
You have my condolences for your loss, to loose a mate is more painful than anything in this world. Be strong, you will see him again. Know this: He is still here, his essence is in what he's shown us, his works, his acts, and our memory of him. His spirit is watching from what lies beyond, waiting patiently to see you again. He is not alone, he has the company of all who've gone before and has the knowledge that he'll see you again in time.
Please take it easy for awhile, rest and recover from your injuries. Everyone here is pulling for you.
Be strong!
As a firm beleiver in reincarnation, I know for a fact that our beloved fellow friend and fellow dragon, Athus has now become reborn as a real dragon, far away from this world.
May all of us meet him again, some time.
As a firm beleiver in reincarnation, I know for a fact that our beloved fellow friend and fellow dragon, Athus has now become reborn as a real dragon, far away from this world.
May all of us meet him again, some time.
I knew him since March 2003, from his art style to the forums on Draconic.com and awakening experiences. I consider all Otherkin dragons as my family and morn the day when one of ours is lost, especially the good souls that this world needs more of. To me, helping others is the greatest service anyone can render and he accomplished that. Athus had spiritual awareness about him and an insight that I found consistent with the draconic family of Otherkin; he had a softness and a gentleness about him that many would benefit by his example, and should be appreciated and never forgotten.
We are grateful for your time with us, Athus, kind words, love, help, your bringing of happiness to those around you. Oh kind soul full of love, I wish you and your journey between lives, into the next life and beyond, to be full of ages of ages of joy, love, fullness and happiness, prosperity, success, abundance, help, blessings and bliss. Be in your peace. Be in your peace. Be in your peace.
Narse, I hope you heal up well, hon- all of us will be here when you need us. *HUUUUUUGS* <--(all I really have to offer, other then my deepest sympathies)
'Bye, Athus- until we meet again in another life, I hope.
Stay strong for him Narse, now more than ever. Rest in peace, Athus.
We're here for you Narse, and Athus will never be forgotten.
When I was young, I walked a lonely road.
When I would fall, I'd have no arms to hold.
My life was empty, I had no heroes.
No one to share the walk, down the lonely road.
And now I'm riding on the wings of eternity.
When we first met, I held you in my arms.
Thoughts runnin' through my head, yeah we will go far.
We fend off every foe, we conquer every fight.
The darkness came, but now I see the light.
And now I'm riding on the wings of eternity.
I feel sorry for such a sudden death.
How could that happen? And why? It's a huge loss for everyone here, especially for you.
May such a mischief not happen again.
May he rest in peace.
"People are born to this world to fullfill their task that was given them. And when their time comes, they leave this world just to be born again in another."Most condolences to your loss, but someday you two shall meet again. Stay strong on these hard times.
Typed words cant give you the power to survive, but just the amount of people caring enough to write to you, is something.
I didn't really get to know about him, besides mentions in streams, and now this. I'm really sorry for what happened, and I hope that you are strong through these tough times.
He'll be with you in spirit, and hold his memories fondly, for that is what anyone who has passed wishes.
:c I wish the best for all of you.
Words fall short when trying to convey sympathy, and mine may not be worth as much, but my heart goes out to you and all those near to him. I hope you guys are doing alright, and Athus as well, wherever he might now reside. Best wishes man.
i will remember him always ..
i will miss you old friend
Though we don't really know of one another, I know well of your work and you seem like a good person. I'm not one to usually offer to just sit down and talk to people but at times like these when something like this happens, it is always good to have someone to talk too whether you know them or not. *hug*
Everyone, drive safely.
The only solace I can offer is that it gets easier with time, so I've heard. The pain never truly goes away, but it lessens from a sharp sting to a dull ache. And between now til then, we're all here behind you, carrying you to a better tomorrow.
Though I never had the pleasure of meeting him personally or calling him my friend, his art was some of the earliest work I saw from the furry community and it was a large part of what led me here. If it weren't for him I would not have met so many wonderful people and made so many friends around the country and around the world. I regret that I will never have the opportunity to tell him so.
Even though I wasn't that close to him, this still hurts for so many reasons.
It hurts because he was a fellow dragon.
It hurts because he was a fellow human being, and by all accounts an amazing one at that.
It hurts because he was the other half of someone's life, I know how that is and the thought of that loss tears me up inside. My thoughts go to Narse and Brian's family in this difficult time.
It hurts because it was such an unfair end to such a young life, it makes you think about how fleeting your existence can be. If one thing can be taken away by everyone that knew and loved him it should be that you never know when your time will end and you should make the most of it. Be a decent person, be someone's rock, be a good friend, treat others with kindness and respect, that you may be so remembered one day after you are gone.
We have lost a great person, a good friend, a brother to some, an inspiration to many, and an icon to the community. He will be missed and remembered always.
RIP Athus
Rest in peace Athus, I am so missing. Rest in peace.
We still will miss him though.
But just remember his soul burns in every one & mostly within you, the only thing we/you can do is remember all the good times & joy throughout his life.
RIP.
If u could only change the Past & Future of Time.........

Athus was a really good person.. I only have fond memories of him
sending my prayers your way
Sending my deepest condolences.
Hang in there.
Eric the Roo
i Hope you will recover and bear more of his dreams and hopes than scars from his absence.
My deep condolences and also my deep wishes for you to grow and not feel too much argony from this.
Take Care of yourself and never forget who you are

Narse and Sarmanikan, I do not know how badly you were injured, but please get better, physically and otherwise. That goes for everyone else hurt by all of this emotionally, as well.
Athus helped to changed my life two years ago, by helping to reawaken my draconity that had been dormant for far too long. I am still trying to make good on that favor, to open up and be as good of a dragon as he was. His death has affected me to an extent I am not used to, and I can only imagine how much moreso it affects so many others. Though, I am trying to derive strength from it.
Not the best at offering condolences, but I am here if you need anything.
I was never really a believer but I think all I can do is pray for him
Rest in peace Athus
you are in my thoughts, sweetie
29 is just far to young ....
I may just be a small person among this list of great people but non the less I wish you all the support and strength for the future.
*strong tight hugs*
Stealth
and that this is a life lesson for all those present here who have to live life and care a lot.
in memory of Athus he rest in peace.
lo siento y sentimos la perdida de tu mejor amigo narse, en un futuro pienso dibujar sus personajes como homenage y que tu narse adoptes sus personajes para que no queden en el olvido y se pierdan en el futuro, porfavor narse adopta los personajes de Athus y no dejes que se olviden ,te extrañaremos mucho Athus y lo siento de verdad por la perdidad de tu amigo y que donde valla el sea falis y no sufra
y que esta sea una leccion de vida para todos los presentes aqui que hay que vivir la vida y cuidarnos mucho.
en memoria de Athus que descanse en paz.
Athus may be gone from this world, but his spirit will live on in everyone who's lives he touched. I wish the best for you all. May he glide on lighter wings and swim in calmer seas. He will be dearly missed. <3
Be strong; you're all in our thoughts.

I do though wish to express though this is a major issue these days people driving pay absolutely no attention and have zero respect for others on the road, I was in only one accident but people need to rember even if your car has a 5 star crash rating the forces at work there are immense, and the NTSA crash test ratings are bunk, they test at 25mph and 45mph and you can see how much damage that causes and if you wont slow down please pay more attention and be polite, and hang up the cellphone.
*Hugs again, wings wrapping around Narse* I can't promise that I'll have wise words for you but if you ever need to get anything off your chest I am willing to listen, and I will do my best to comfort you.
Stay strong dude.
I was genuinely shocked to read this
I hear about death all the time and I feel numb
But this shock actually has pained my chest
And brought some tears
It unsettled me something serious
I can't possibly know what its like to lose someone so close
Athus, I never knew you
And it's a goddamn shame I never will in this world
Maybe I'll meet you someday
In another life
I certainly hope so
Rest in peace
there's nothing I could say beyond that, I'm just sorry.
Wishing you the very best,
RR
my condolences and continued strong Narse
I am terribly sorry for your loss, and though I didn't know Athus the loss to the community hurts as well. I found this after finding a pic you drew, that kind of pointed to it in the text below. I wish I could lend a hug to you Narse, and it is good to see you keep drawing. You are an amazing artist, and bad enough to lose one tragically to you and all of us, but to lose another to simply losing the will to draw would be even worse. Keep your chin up, and look to tomorrow, and the joys each day can bring. Remember Athus for all the laughs and good times. And know we are always here to chat with, bs at, and pall around with if you need.
Best wishes, and warmest memories on this holiday to you,
D
May where ever he be, lead to greaters pastures of and those that will miss him the most find peace. Iam sorry for your lost.

I'm sorry for your loss and I send my condolences.
I dont even knew him , but everytime i read about someone that died its bringing tears to my eyes for that everything we know will cease to exist someday and nothing can stop that...,except for keeping the memories inside ourselfs as best as we can...
i cannot even imagine how you must feel about this loss
I´m sorry for it and i also send my deepest condolences
The World must go on somehow...

May is sileo in pacis , servo him propinquus in nostrum mens , pectus pectoris quod factum quod may is flow per ventus seas quod tractus , pro umquam ut reverentia nos in suus officina. - 'May he rest in peace, keep him close in our minds, hearts and actions and may he flow with the winds, seas and space, for ever to awe us in his works.'
He was an amazing person, and a really talented artist. May his spirit rest in peace.
I don't really know what else to say, other than how sorry I am to hear this, and I do hope things go well for you Narse. I know he's watching over you.
I'm so sorry for his loss...
R.I.P Athus
Your my inspirations, and I will keep on getting better in memory of Athus...ill try my best to transfer to digital art too
Please stay strong Narse, and RIP Athus. Your were one of the best inspirations a kid like me could have in his lifetime
He was one of my first known artists in the 'dom, second only to Wookie. If it wasn't for Brian and select others, I wouldn't even have embraced the furry culture and would have attempted to mask my interests until I gave up altogether. I am proud to have been a fellow fur to such an iconic member of our community.
We all love you, man, and if you're ever in MN, you better goddamn believe we're going to knock back a few. That's a promise.
And sober cab home, of course.
Rest in peace Athus

It seems that the video link he had in his last journal truly suited him... such a thing made me cry watching it, so for those that haven't seen it I wish to put the link here too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAQ56_dfOfY
I'm am truly sorry for your loss Narse... he shall always stay in our hearts.
My girlfriend
I am not going to pretend I know what you are going through but I empathize with you.
Take Care
I kinda feel stupid for using another's words, but it seemed right at the time. If you're still feeling down over this, then please know that we're all here to help, and hey, even I'm open for a comforting word or two, what little I can give. In reality, I was never good with condolences, but I'm hoping that I can be of some assistance, if any.
Deal with it. tiny tears
So you have to be strong and think he is happy.
Still he lives in our hearts, we must know raise their heads.
I am so sorry for your loss. :(
I never knew him, yet my heart feels crushed.
5 Years now... All my love to the family, and ofcourse you Narse
People die all the time, just like that.
I didn't even know the guy, I just found his art on e621 and after a little while I wondered when he was going to be making more art.
And then when I found this journal, I remember feeling so sad about it I actually cried, I didn't even know why I was crying over someone I never even talked to, and I'm not sure why I left a comment.
But now I see other people leaving comments several years later and I don't feel as embarrassed that I left the comment, I just remember that it wasn't exactly worded very well, so I'd like to try again.
I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope you're doing well both emotionally and with where you are in life
But back in the days I would admire his art.
and in a way I knew him.
When I learned of his death a few years back, it sent my world crashing down.
Only regret, is not meeting him.
