No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
Its amazing how the Internet makes it possible for one man to touch so many lives that people around the world who barely knew him and barely know each other will stop to mourn him. We have lost a friend.
"Why fear death? Its the end of one journey and the beginning of another." - @whospikedthepunch (A comment he made on a post a few weeks ago. Thanks for sharing this journey with us, man.)
Rest in peace. I know we've never really talked directly, but I do remember seeing your comments dotted all around Funsubstance. It truly feels like there is something missing from it all now. I hope you passed away peacefully.
Rest in Peace, whospikedthepunch. I may not have known you well, but I can tell you were an amazing person. I'd like to thank you for making Funsubstance, well, more fun. I hope you're having a great time wherever you are and may be reunited with your loved ones.
I hope now that your journey with cancer is over, you find peace and happiness and that all your friends and family are able to find happiness after their devastating loss.
I know @whospikedthepunch would never read this, but I still offer the same thought for anyone dealing with a loss.
RIP, whospikedthepunch. I did not know you well, but I have always appreciated your contribution to the site. Sending love to your family and friends. I am so sorry. (I know he will not read this, but I hope that you are somewhere better now) We will miss you bud!
Oh my shit. He died? Fuck i wish I was still on this site to say goodbye. Fuck me fuck me fuck me. :,( bye man, hope you lived an amazing life. God be with your soul, and pray for mine. I wanted my return to be happy but I just feel empty.
