For Dragoneer
a year ago
I've only just learned of Dragoneer's untimely death. 44 is far too young, and it's a sin that anyone should die because health care is financially out of reach for anyone but the wealthy.
I didn't know Dragoneer, but I owe him a debt of gratitude, just by the sheer fact that anyone is even reading these words right now. FurAffinity may not be a huge part of my life anymore, but there was a time when I was here every single day, and so many good things that happened to me over the last 20 years might never have happened if this site hadn't been here.
FurAffinity has had and still has its drawbacks-- but the fact remains that for who knows how many thousands of people, this site has been the place where they've shared their artistic talents for the first time. Grown followings. Made friends. Fell in love. Gained confidence. Found themselves.
Felt less alone.
Thank you, Dragoneer. We never met, but you made a difference in my life all the same.
Rest in peace.
