Hey Horley,

I know I wasn't your closest friend, but I will remember you. You were among the first few to welcome me into this fandom, at a time when I was looking for a way out of a long lonely downward spiral.

I'll remember coming out to my first meetup, your Toronto walk, on Labour Day weekend 2012. One of several great times I've had, among the many new friends I have since met. You also welcomed me as a roommate for my first AC in 2013. I admired your energy as a suiter, your fun, bouncy nature. You were always nice to me.

I'm not so close as to understand all you have been through in your life, I just know that it ended too soon, and it will be weird not seeing you around. (Or in my case, I often heard you before I saw you - "Brawl!") Your absence will certainly be felt by many.

My deepest sympathies go out to your family, close friends and of course, Jello.
Rest in peace my friend. And when you're done resting, I know you'll be bouncing around, partying up there. Thanks for the fun memories, and I'll raise a glass to you.
