Rest in peace Dragoneer
a year ago
Hello
I was very stressed yesterday of the news I found out right after waking up. It feels like your friend passed away, although you weren't friends. Dragoneer often wrote me nice things under my arts, he liked them and I like his drawings and him and always will. Sometimes we talked and he was one of the kindest people I talked to on the Internet. The news knocked me off balance and I wish all his friends and family a quick recovery. I will never leave the furry community, to which Dragoneer put so much of his efforts. Thank you for everything, you will be a legend for me and for the entire Furry community
Uhhh, 2 months ago Dragoneer took a comm slot from me, his deadline was already by end of this month and I already drew a sketch that I did not want to send to him because it was still raw and on paper, I was going to send it soon in a weeks. I feel disgusting and I am very sorry that I did not have time to please him. I'm a fucking piece of trash, I'm sorry... I want to return the money for the comm to Dragoneer's family and friends but I'm not sure who to contact about it, even though my financial situation is terrible right now, but I think should return it as soon as possible, and I still want to finish this drawing for him in memory. Please tell me if you know who I should contact for a refund, I think they need it now
Best wishes for you all

You are not a piece of trash, nor a bad person for not completing the commission, how were you supposed to know this would happen? Everyone works at their own pace, and anything, be it a tough time mentally or distractions can make you take longer to make a commission piece.
I suggest his close family and/or possible siblings, know your doing something incredibly respectable by donating it back to his family.
You could give the refund to his family for his funeral service when more information is known about that, or FelisRandomis his roommate and best friend.
Please make sure you are taking care of yourself. Dealing with loss can be rough, especially if it's someone who has left a profound positive influence in your life. Tragedy can strike at the worst possible times and I don't think you failed him; the healthcare system did. I feel like he would want you to be kind to yourself, so please don't blame yourself. No one could've expected it to happen so suddenly.
I'm not too sure who to contact regarding this, but I hope you can get it sorted out. Is there anything we can do to help with your financial situation?
I hope you can find closure by finishing that piece for Dragoneer. Loss doesn't get easier over time. Just remember your loved ones are here for you.
Like I said in other places, I've been very upset with the state FA is in over the past years, but don't blame Dragoneer for it as I don't think it was his wish for things to turn out as they did. From the few interactions we had long ago, he was always nice to me and others from how I saw him. I'm saddened too... couldn't help having this on my mind for most of yesterday, it's weird how it can happen to anyone when you least expect it.
It's worse when several comments claim his death was caused by the incompetence of the medical system, doctors allegedly waiting for him to pay his bills before caring about his health. To be clear I have no idea what happened and this is just what I heard many comments say, but people close to him allege he was at least in part killed by the US healthcare system. I can at least say things are in a very sad state right now, which doesn't surprise me but I'm also numb to it at this point.
