Flamazide

Oh fuck I remember him. He was in a Discord I was in for a bit - it was either mine or a CE one, I forget which. Dude seemed pretty decent from what I remember...

God, that sucks...

what

I saw him post just last week

I honestly hope he can forgive me for not reaching out. I really hope he can. Im so fucking depressed about this situation.

Flam was cool - you would know him better than me, but I'm sure he would understand. We're all busy in our own worlds, and there's little to no way to know what's going on without direct contact like through PMs, Discord or @s. Especially on CE, where topics purge in 2 days and where he wasn't a very active poster.

I hadn't seen Flam for months, except for like one post on CE a couple months ago. Didn't even know he was having issues. I would have loved to talk to him like old times, in a rabb.it room laughing our asses off at Baki the Grappler, but I had no idea he was in a bad way.

If I heard that he was sick, I don't know if I would have donated to his GoFundMe - my puny Australian dollars only go so far, and the thought of Flam dying wouldn't have even flashed across my mind. If things were looking particularly bad, I might have thrown a few dollars towards it, but maybe I wouldn't have in the hopes that things would work out regardless.

As it stands, I didn't even know he had a GoFundMe. Now he's gone, I would relish the opportunity to give him a few dollars in the hopes of giving him a helping hand. But until he died, and though hearing about his GoFundMe I realised that this situation had stakes I was unaware of, I couldn't have told you if I would have donated money or not. If I knew the stakes, then things might be different. But I didn't know the stakes.

No matter how long you might have known him, regardless of prior history with him, chances are you missed information about his situation or opportunities to get in contact with him through no fault of your own. What matters is that you loved Flamazide during his life, and given the chance you would have tried to help him out. Life might have gotten in the way, but what matters is that you cared in the first place.

Again - I'm sure you knew him for longer than I did, and you would have a better handle on his personality. I don't want to put words in a dead man's mouth. But I think, based on my experiences with him, that he would forgive you. I don't think you could have known things would end this way - none of us did until we heard the news. So please - don't beat yourself up.

wish I'd known him better, I think I'd long since dropped out of CEchat by then

sad news, I can identify with some of his struggle, especially homelessness

RIP Legend

I spent a few days in shock but the last two have been grief and guilt wracked. Its really true that you dont know what you have until its gone and more than anything I wish I wouldnt have take the time we had together for granted. I should have been a better friend and helped him through, as he did for me time after time. Flam was a constant in my life for years and even though I disconnected myself a few years ago it was never out of loss of love for him. Really and truly, if nothing else, Im glad hes escaped his pain. He didnt deserve to be put through the hand that life gave him...

RIP

Oh man I remember his topic about needing help because he got kicked out of where he was living and he had just moved across states ?

RIP :(

That's sad. I hope it isn't true
---

Not sure if I know much about the guy. But always sad to lose someone on here. Y'all are like my big dysfunctional online family.

---

Oh man, RIP :/ Didnt know him but sounds like he was a pretty cool dude
---

:(

---

Rip

Holy fucking shit. I did not know about this. I was just talking to him on discord a few weeks ago. We always would talk about boxing and MMA for the last five or so years. I just do not know what to say. I knew he was having health problems, but it seemed that he was getting help from the last time we talked. Fuck.

I'm going to miss you a lot Victor.

Would anyone be able to PM me any details unless they're fine to be posted in public? I'm really not handling this well today, I didn't see this topic when it was first posted and I seriously probably would have kept messaging him on discord, wondering where he was, if I didn't see it. I wasn't in CEChat for a long time, but we always stayed in touch and would occasionally watch boxing/mma together :(

---

Fuck! I did not know about this. RIP man

---

Ah fuck dude, RIP... Instagig here... I don't remember specific interactions with him but he was a big part of the Chat era I loved being a part of.

Ugh:(...

I remember him from the Hip Hop board way back. He even had a period where he contributed to the keystyle threads, lol. Those were the days. My username was Pooh Da Stryker back then.
