Very sad to hear it. I liked Scott. A solid citizen and great artist.

Sad news to hear! :')

I'm sad to hear that. Was he an elder furry?

He was one of the classics.

Truly. I got to know him a few years after I started drawing and had been friends ever since. Was sad to see his output dwindle over the years but every new upload from him was a joy, and we still kept in regular contact on Discord.

Really, really going to miss him.

omg...

Oh no.

I'm very sad to hear that.

He was a really nice guy.

That's sad. :( I'll miss him quite a lot. May his memory be a blessing.

In the post of the asteroid is a comment from his sister. The family doesn't have passwords so this is the best they can do, a bit of info on the how of his passing is in there as well as what the family wishes in getting the word out.

Awful news. He was a longtime friend.

Oh jeeze....

I just got the call from Brombear, I am in shock. I noticed radio silence a few days ago and tried calling him earlier today and an hour ago. Left messages both times. Somebody cleared his phone cause it went full numerous rings before voicemail.

Shit, If this is confirmed, I'll need Info for his Memorial.

Oh no...

I am in shock

Ugh, that's awful. Loved his artwork.

Oof. Very sorry to hear that, too.

...damn again... Very sad news.

Yipes. RIP.

I'd known him since the '90s. THis is a shock.

My condolences to their family and friends. Another sad loss from the early fandom.

One of the earliest artists I remember in the fandom. He'll be missed.

Damn

That's horrible

oh no :c...I remember how he faved my artworks. It was such an honor, may he be at peace in heaven

Yes

my condolences. rest in peace, Scott.

RIP.

Aw man. R.I.P.

he was in very bad health. An had move in with family, as he wasn't able to to live on his own anylonger a while ago.

Damn.

I know it's only going to happen more as we get older. I still hate losing furs and artists.
I hope his family is ok. I wish him peace. He will be sorely missed.

well another friend gone...

Always enjoyed his posts. I believe he was a firearms enthusiast.

Ve Con Dios, Scott.

No way, he’s one of the OGs I stumbled upon when I entered the fandom. My condolences, may he RIP.

That's awful. He was a unique and talented artist. Was looking forward to speaking with him someday.
