I don't want to make anything sound bitter or overly dramatic, upon hearing this bad news I didn't know what to think. I first met him back at MFM 07 or 08, he was always carrying balloons around and simply sharing his them to anyone who appreciates it. Personally I did not had much interaction with him in the past besides being at one of the receiving end of balloons, watched him and TJ coyote and maybe Wildfox walking around and made lot of people smile. Lately he has been bothered by illness and health eventually went down hill, and sadly now the worst news possible.

Although that's just my personal experience with him, he himself had been a good deal of inspiration for to people come out and perform in suits. If you have not heard of him, hope you can take up a few minutes to check him out before you get to hear someone mention his name again  pandaguy

Rest in peace panda, hope you are now sitting on clouds made of balloons and free from all the pain you had to deal with through these years.
