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.

WHAT!?! This can't be true.

This is truly sad news. I haven't the words to express. You will be missed Blade.

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.

Yeah I emailed the mods over there, but I should have checked the 4-sale forum first.

Tis a sad day. :(
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

sorry to hear, going thru the same thing with my ex-wife. Will be raising my kids on my own soon. :(

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. :(
