He is nowhere, and he is nothing. None of your well wishes mean a thing. Quit being children and realize what happened to this man.
Definitely weird knowing that a name I see regularly on here will no longer post. Hope the wife and kids can hang in there.
Seriously? Is that the way to go in a thread about a fellow member that just passed away? I don't care what your views are about life. And I'm sure no one else here does. Show some class.
I'm frozen in my seat right now. Just hearing about this. I don't know why but he was geniunely my favorite poster on this forum. He had a special quality. Awesome personality and sense of humor. Seemed like a great person that had things under control, no matter how difficult things got. I remember the very difficult situation with his sister. Never saw the thread about his breakup. Last I heard, he was moving to Ohio. I say with total sincerity that I will miss him. I'm really feeling this right now despite never meeting him outside this forum. Very sad loss for this forum, his family and friends, and anyone that never got the chance to meet him. It seems like everybody knows how he passed away but I see nothing. I don't think it's necessarily very important but if there is more information, can somebody please point me to it. I'd like to know more.
Oh my. Whether or not you believe in the here-after or the usefulness of condoling a loss, it was easy enough to not post that. With that being said, RIP LL...you always had something to say even if I didnt agree with it.
Still hurts. The phrase "he/she went too soon" was never more appropriate than here. I understand that this is just an internet message board but the vibe I got over the years was that he was the type that could overcome just about any setback. We really are all vulnerabe, no matter what kind of front we put up, online or in the real world. I say all this with the assumption that he took his life. I've seen nothing to verify that but everybody seems to be suggesting it. Either way, there is no doubt that he will be missed by more people than he probably could've imagined.
Wow. Even if your statement is true, which it isn't even close to, what do gain by saying such stupid things? It makes you look like an ass to people who are mourning a loss. Whether I knew him like a brother, or didn't even know him at all, a man dying at the age of 32, survived by his children, is sad. It's more than sad, its downright depressing. Our well wishes do not just extend to him, it extends to his family, and it extends to all of us here on the forums. As moes said earlier, we are some kind of community here. We are also helping ourselves as well. If you don't feel like you're a part of that, or choose not to be, just step aside then.
Wow. just.... wow. A part of our BBS family died. that's harsh. Coincidentally, I saw this quote recently: Cry not that is is over But smile that it happened He will be missed.
My boy, NO! WTF? You were my music brother. I haven't read through the thread yet, but this stunned me immediately. Just...sadness.
What the.. I just saw this. This is horrible news, seems like it was yesterday where we were debating on who was a better tight end between Gonzo and Gates... You will definitely be missed. Rest in peace brother.
In spite of being insensitive, and showing a lack of caring to people that knew or liked LL, this statement just isn't true. He is definitely something as many people here have terrific memories, and appreciation of the person. Those memories became more "here" and more "something" now because it is what we have of LL. Every person that knew him in regular life, or as contributor and discussion partner on these boards have been impacted him, and that is here. So what actually means nothing is your little quote here, which was only said to somehow make you feel better than everyone else, but isn't thoughtful, or even true, and actually means next to nothing. The board would be a better place without you as a member.
I've listened to the song Batman Jones posted that iirc was LLs last FB update about 20 times today. RIP Landry.
RIP. I don't post much here, and never had any actual interactions with him, but I do enjoy reading his posts, especially in those music threads. He was one of the guys that I would love to have a beer with if I had the chance. It's such a damn shame...
