I found out early this morning and have kind of been numb all day.

Blade gave me a home to express my opinions after VoodooExtreme and 3Fingers shut down, first at AGN and then here.

You'll be dearly missed ya big monkey. Rest in Peace.

When i saw the thread I though that he left the forums or something. I cannot freaking believe this. Blade was the first ever person I traded with.
I just simply cannot believe this.
God bless him. He will be missed.

He must have kept his illness a secret if that is what he died of. I know he was watching and taking care of his brother who was involved in an accident couple of years back.

I just read Harvey's touching remembrance at Anands - very nice. We are the sum of people's memories of us.

I don't know what to say. Mike was one of the nicest, if not the nicest person I've met on the net. He will
be missed.

RIP brother

I just read Harvey's post on Anandtech and am absolutely shocked. Mike and I have known each other for years but I had lost contact over the last couple of years. He is still in my gmail address book.

So long, blade, it's been great to know you. :(
