RIP, Dragoneer
a year ago
"I am James Ungentine KTLA, and I predict your future. These are the events that will change and illuminate your daily lives, except you aren't there yet! Future date 2025, KTLA predicts..."
It's difficult to know what to say in a situation like this. I never knew 'Neer, but through FA he had a profound effect on my life and my identity, as I'm sure he did so many others. Who would I be without this place? I can't even imagine. It may not be perfect, but it made me the person I am today. I can only hope that provisions are in place to keep FA going, because to lose it...
But I can't help but feel selfish for thinking like that in the wake of a person's death. My deepest sympathies go out to his friends and family, especially given the circumstances of his passing. If nothing else, I hope they can take some solace from the legacy he crafted for himself. In creating this website, this community, he helped shape the lives of tens of thousands of people. Whatever else happens, thank you for that. Goodbye, Dragoneer.

I didn't know Neer other than by name, but he definitely left a mark.
