Rest In Peace, Arcis

Now that I have your attention... I lost a friend today, and the fandom lost one of the kindest souls it has ever known.
I'm still in shock from it. The tears haven't came yet, but I know they will eventually. I just feel so numb because it happened so suddenly, and even if I'd known about what happened in time, I'd have still been powerless to stop it.
My friend
ArcisDarkfire, AKA Jeromy Stone, died today after suffering from complications brought on by a severe peanut allergy reaction. From what I understand, he was eating dinner on his birthday and unknowingly ingested a large quantity of peanut based food, and went into cardiac arrest. The doctors put him into a medically-induced coma in an attempt to help his body heal, but his prolonged inability to breath lead to severe brain damage, and his family ultimately decided to remove him from life support.
Arcis was gentle, and kind, and was the first person who ever really gave me a chance at affection. Ultimately, I realized that I might not be the person I am today if it wasn't for him.
The first time we met, he held me. I know that may not seem like much, but... it was the first time anybody ever had. He was literally my first cuddle partner ever. During a time when I was beginning to doubt if I even deserved to be that close to another, he assured me that I did without hesitation. He continued to be there for me during my darkest times, and he did it with the assurance that I DID matter, and I was living my life for a reason. He made me feel worthy and valid for the first time, in a way that nobody else ever had before.
I'm so stunned that something like this is actually a thing that happens. ONE single mistake... and it lead to this. He was alive one day and not the next, all because of a miscommunication involving food ingredients. I can't wrap my head around this. It was so sudden.
The fandom wasn't always kind to Jeromy, but I wanted you guys to know that I'm the person I am today because of him. He gave me a chance when nobody else would, and... I never got a chance to tell him how much that meant to me. As he held me in his arms, hugged me close and told me I deserved to be cuddled, and wanted... my world changed.
I didn't use to be confident, and extroverted. It's only been within the last decade that that change occurred, and Jeromy was the catalyst for it all.
I wish I'd had the opportunity to see him one last time before... this... but I'll never forget the times we had. Rest in peace, Jeremy... you deserve it.

I'm trying to find the right words, and have been trying to since I heard about it.
I just want to say, I know that feeling, as the most important person in my life was taken away from me, and I never had a chance to tell him some things I considered important.
I'm sorry if I can't get out more than this, but know that I'm here for you.
I did a badge for him for RF last year
It's just.. baffles me that he's gone
By the sounds of it he's a miracle worker.
I'm sure he's grinning above happy to know your gratitude though. :')
RIP Jeromy.
I live in fear that someone close to me will suddenly die and I can only begin to imagine just how shattered you feel that this has happened and I'm so sorry for your loss >:
May he rest in peace and all that were close to him, yourself, family and friends, stay strong during this difficult time of mourning.
may he rest in peace.
