Posted 6 years agoOn May 28th, 2019, my loving boyfriend passed away in his home due to an opioid addiction that ultimately claimed his life. He had an incredibly loving family with close friends from all over the world, and his unexpected passing has been beyond tragic for everyone involved. I was the only person close to him outside his relatives that first learned about this awful news, and I'm sorry if you knew him and are just now finding out.
Much like me, Mav was pretty quiet, socially-anxious, and spent most of his time isolated from regular society. But for the past 4-5 years that I've known him, I saw a hopeful, kind man with the biggest heart you could find. He had passions for technology, space, retro games, and a plethora of nerdy sci-fi and superhero shows/films that we loved watching together. He was a gentle soul with a lot of love to spare once you cracked his shell, and our 2 year relationship is living proof of these traits. We'd always look forward to Anthrocon each year to spend personal time together, see all the lovely suiters, and enjoy such a welcoming and friendly social environment. He and I talked and video called almost every day, sharing more about each other to grow closer than I've ever gotten to someone in my whole life. We made life goals together, planned on moving into our own home, and I was even confident that I would have his hand in marriage when the time was right.
It's been very hard for me to write this, I've had to overcome emotional obstacles that kept me from thinking straight, let alone express my feelings on the matter. Mav was my lover, but he was also my teacher, I learned a lot on how to make responsible life choices, to have confidence in my decisions, and how to value and nurture the relationships you build with people. I think the most important thing I've learned from him, is that even in the face of a dark time where life seems to be working against you and putting your mind in a terrible place, at the end of the day, there will always be something to smile about, because happiness will always persist in the memories of the ones you truly love.
If you knew Mav, or didn't, I hope you'll express your condolences, and pray with me that wherever he is now, he's still going strong with that big lovable heart of his, knowing that one day our paths may cross once again in a better place.
