Dogbomb Has Passed Away...
6 years ago
General
On this day, April 5th 2019, 
dogbomb has passed at age 55, after a long battle with ALS (or Lou Gehrig's disease) and years of contributing towards finding a cure.
Regretfully, I must say that i did not know Dogbomb much myself, having only discovered him back in December and only spoke with him once. Nonetheless, I saw him as a good friend and, like many no doubt, am thankful to have known him at all.
I think the key words here are 'gone, but never to be forgotten'. I think I can safely say that Dogbomb was an inspiration, someone who always seemed to keep pushing no matter how much life pushed back and I've little doubt he will continue to do so posthumously.
A dear friend of mine has a saying that I think describes the man perfectly: A Lamp Shining In The Darkness.
Here's to you, Dogbomb...

Here's to you, Dogbomb...
He will be missed but not forgotten!
I heard the news earlier in the day bt was told it could just be rumour, so I wasn't sure whether to believe it or not, once he was listed as 'deceased' on his page at about 11 PM, grief hit me like a ton of bricks.
I'm seriously, all choked up. Like you, I first connected with Dogbomb just a few months ago. Only a couple of conversations with him left me with that feeling like seeing the sun after a year of winter. He had that effect on me.
I wish I could have met him in the fur, as it were.
Run in the sunshine, my friend.
The only exchange I had with him was through shouts after I started watching him, quite brief. I feel guilty for not reaching out again before his death, like I took that one time for granted...
I wish i could have met him in the fur too.

He was...and though I hardly knew him, I'm going to miss him.
