oh man, he makes me smile still

gonna miss him.

is that gideon in the background?

Wouldn't surprise me, it's Anthrocon after all...

Thats an answer.

not.

This suit is black pause not.

So very sorry for your loss. That smile will be burned into the minds and hearts of all who have loved and met him. Truly an unfortunate passing of one so great and with a heart so big. I wish I had known him. Bless you, Narse and his family most of all. One day, we'll all get to see him again. Death is just the passing from one life to another.. his impact here, especially in the community, was tangible. So many good things have been said and done for him; no one person will go without hearing something about his passing. Here I pay my respects to you and Athus, Tojo. Thanks for sharing this picture with us all.

I miss him.......

That couldn't be AC 2009
The guy in the background is wearing a FC 2010 shirt (which was "Gold Mine" themed)

This is beside the point though...

While I never knew the guy, Athus seemed to touch many people's hearts.
Sad that the fandom lost such a great guy.

What an happy bunch. Athus, please look at the camera. Grr. :E

I miss him :( Done a tribute song to show how much i miss him. Tears will never be enough to show how badly this loss has affected everyone.

My support goes to Narse right now who needs it.

Because we never forget the fun times.

Oh my.. Definitely !

:(

I can't help but smile at this picture. It's sad to know that we'll never see that smile again.

You remind my of that mithbuster girl cary

he will always be remembered and live on in our hearts and soul.

RIP dude.
You live on in the memories you gave to those whose lives you walked into however briefly that might of been.

It's good to remember the good times. I'll miss him. :'(

Awwww... Thanks for sharing this with us, it's really sweet to see him there. Thanks again, as I said we'll miss his presence, and all close ones to him, will realy miss him.

off topic, but why is sabur wearing 2834239 badges

thanks!

Looking at this picture knowing one of them isn't with us anymore.. does bring a few tears even though I don't know any of you.
It's a regret that I never got to know him, he really seems like an awesome guy.
By the way, that ironic shirt of yours Tojo.. wish ctrl+z was possible indeed.

Your shirt is rather ironic. *hugs*

Wow... yeah that really is TT.TT

you look very young! :O

I was 19

Tojo is young! :o

ah, i didnt know i was older then you XP

I thought it was 29 1982 to 2011?

Tojo was 19. Athus was 28. (In that picture.)

Ok I seethe way it was written seemed a bit misleading, thanks for the clear up.

We are all gonna miss him a lot... but only until the day we see him again as who we really are.

Rest in Peace Athus, our beloved Dragon-Friend, we will miss you and love you very much...and one day you will meet your friends again for sure
The End is just the Beginning because ultimately there is NO end of someones soul

CTRL + Z indeed. :/

Glad i got to meet him at FC2011. As others have said, he was certainly full of life and had a sense of humor.

I never got to meet him, but he was an amazing person. I only knew him by a handful of messages, I'm incredibly sorry for your loss.

That's a great picture. Have you framed it? I think that'd be an awesome idea.

i am terribally sorry for your lose he was one of my favorite artists and he is also the one who inspired me to be a dragon alone with tojo you too helped inspire me
rip
(roars into the sky in honor of a fallen kin) rip athus

So adorable. Missing him so badly :(

sad part is not to make any one cry take a look at tojos t-shirt

good find

;___;

Only bumped into the lad once or twice last summer..such a bright and happy one he was.
On another topic..Tojo, I have that Ctrl-Z shirt!

Sloth love Athus

so much white I need some darker shades

Hey, it's great to look back fondly at all the happy times you had. i'm sure he'd want you to remember those and be happy too.

Athus had the best hat! Best wishes to his friends and family.

If I may also say so.. you have beautiful eyes, Luna!

STOP PLEASE....

ouch.... its so .... nostalgic....

Oh I thought you were a girl at first, my bad.....He will be missed dearly...

tojo IS a girl....

...Right and I thought she was a male, now I feel horribly stupid...My bad. AGIAN.

lawl your not the first

Really? Ok now I feel a little better.

i did it too. in fact i made SEVERAL similar discoveries

You feel bad for thinking that tojo was a male??? I do worst! I used to think that Rarakie, Kyma, and Zambuka (and tojo of course XD) were all males. XDDDD

It happens

Oh my.. your teeshirt...

This is just a pure coincidence but.. still hurt :(

:/

Sucks to lose someone close to something that seems pretty random, but you know what, celebrate a life lived rather than mourn a life lost!

I already wanted to ask if somebody got a irl pic of Athus, since I never saw one of him. Thank you for posting this.

You will be missed, but your impact on this community will never be forgotten.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

A gorgeous picture, and I love his smile, I'm so glad he is showing it in the pictures I've seen. I'll never get to meet him like that in this life, and that adds to the sadness...

Sabur wolf looks like Orlando Bloom? Athus looks like Matt Damon? Tojo is cuute? Daamn. o.o

Holy crap, is that sloth hat?!

I really like this pic heh brings back good memories of watching that crazy movie with the crazy plate throwing midget, first time there and defiantly a lasting and happy memory that will never fade.

I'd say you're short, but you're probably still taller than me XD

Thank you Tojo.

tojo you are tiny

Wish him rest in peace....

sorry about the loss.

This is definitely a great way to remember him. Thank you for sharing this great picture. I needed to see that *hug*

Sloth hat for the win!

Even though i have never meet him, i truly wanted to meet him, as he was the one like a lot of others here that Athus was the person that got me in to the furry fandom.
I feel as if i have lost something but don't know what it is, that empty void that is lingering around in my heart.
Words cannot describe how much he will be missed, his spirit will live on in all those he has touched.

Wish I'd had the pleasure of meeting him.I really wanted that chance

Thanks for sharing this pic. I was hoping someone would

I have a photo of him from that same year, with that same hat. Even more then a day later, I still can't stop myself from choking up seeing the pics and reading the journals.

I think this is a great memorial pic to show of you all as buddies, Somehow thought you taller, oh well, May his spirit soar among the dragons he loved so much, and may his body RIP

Remember the good times, and know we must go on for him, and never forget him.

May his rest be sweet, and his memory with us all, to all those he touched in some small or large way.

Thank you for sharing.

Still can't believe he's gone...

Thanks for posting this! I have been wanting to know what Athus looked like.

You have really nice eyes.

wow, the resemblence he has to my cousin Jeff is uncanny o..o wish i coulda met him in person at least once.

and a off topic thing, thats a nice Sloth hat X3

i want that fkin hat from athus :D

Awww - it's always best to remember the good times and how people touched your life. I'm glad you have that with Athus. Having never personally met him, this is actually the first time I've seen his real self. Thanks for sharing with everyone Tojo.

I even dont knew athus much and not personally... but... I do not know why, but when I heard of his death, it hit me eep in the heart because he's been a really nice guy ... Why must it always end like this? I miss him too...

Came across this on FB somehow, man that's some rough news when you're wondering how old friends are doing. Seemed like such a decent guy, it's a shame he had to leave so early...

I hope you guys are doing alright, with this and life in general. Best wishes... And nice hats.

I've never seen his face before...

I'm gonna miss his art a lot

I don't know how that one slipped through the cracks. Thank you very much for sharing this. I can't wait to see him again in his proper glory =)

you're all so awesome together ^.=.^ First time seeing the three of you, makes me smile

I miss him even though I only know him a bit on FA I feel so sad that he is gone :(

Are They Natural Blonde? O_o
