Many of you would know of long time member of this site Subhumanoidal (some may even remember him from before that profile name). Yesterday, after many years of various health complications, he sadly died.

I wanted to create this thread as a place for people to share their memories about him.

I know people didn't always have a good opinion of him but if you could share the good thoughts and memories only that would be appreciated.

I love him very much, he helped me through some very hard times one being the loss of my mum in 2023, all whilst he himself was undergoing treatment for cancer. That right there should help paint a picture of who he truly was, despite how he may have come across over this platform.

He will truly be missed. :cry:
I was stunned when I read this!
Sub was one of the first to welcome me to CC and didn't hold back when giving advice/comfort/counsel.

I'm sorry for the loss of all of us here at CC, and the loss to his loved ones off CC, and for you too @Mezame83 ; I know Sub was very special to you. ❤️
 
I had noticed last week that he hadn't posted in a while, I really wish that I had dropped him a message then but hindsight is 20/20 and I don't know if he would have seen it anyway 😕.

Sub had great insight, much of it hard-won through a life of many trials. I know I greatly appreciated several bits of advice he gave me.

I'm very sorry for your loss @Mezame83 , I consider it a loss as well but I know he was extra special to you. Thank you for letting us know, I take comfort that he is at peace now and I will be praying for you! 🙏

Was he also known as Posthuman?

How did you learn he died?
 
As I've tried to absorb this news two things have come to mind.

At the end of The Man in the Iron Mask (spoiler alert) the old musketeers are all standing around D'artagnan's tomb and one of them says: "He was the best of us all" And as many have pointed out, though for the decade I knew him it seemed like it was just one health problem and setback after another, you'd rarely know it because he was so much more interested in doing what he could to help someone else than having a pity party for himself ( and certainly wasn't a fan of the times those struggles did explode onto the forum). He had a hard fought and hard won faith and the courage to be honest enough about when he felt like he had lost it. And he did his best to be a true friend to those who knew him.

The other thing that comes to mind is this old song, I like to think it reflects his current state of emotion, though he probably wouldn't have been a big fan of the song in life:

Yeah, or this.


Neither was his preferred style though.
 
Suboidinoidal was one who I never failed to read in whatever thread that I was fortunate enough to notice that he commented in. I'm not sure whether he would've considered this a bit too soft for his taste, but I could be sure that he'd let you know, succinctly, what he thought of it. :cry:

 
I didn't even have to play this one to know William would have loved this. He loved Saviour Machine. Thanks for sharing.

@Mezame83 -- If there is anything we can help with, prayers, etc., please let us know how we can be of assistance.

Thank you again for keeping us informed. 🙏❤️🌹

Sweet dreams Subhumanoidal, didn't know him well but he seemed a good, what it says on the tin sort of guy to me. Definitely not one of the plastic Christians there are too many of on the site.

Posting a link to a live video of a song he might have liked, Architect of Light by A Brand New Brand of Energy, who i think were a Christian band:

Also posting a link to the album it's on, on Bandcamp. Better quality and can be listened to for free. I bought both their albums, Architect of Light is great for dancing to for sure. https://abrandnewbrandofenergy.bandcamp.com/album/terraplane

Hope you're doing ok Mezame83, hugs and all that's good to you.
 
This is the first that I have heard about this. Very sad indeed. He always treated me kind and with respect. He was a class act for sure and will be missed.
 
When I first met him here he went by the name "ugly". His passing is quite a huge shock I am speechless...but thank you ugly 🙏❤️ and also thank you for letting us know... this is quite sad...
I remember his 'Ugly' days too. Feels like a death in the family.
 
Subhumanoidal, AKA Ugly, AKA Voldemort.

I remember his earliest days in chat with the nic Voldemort and he perpetually caught a lot of flak from people thinking he was a troll because of his name.

He was often thought to be a jerk because of his direct way of responding to people, but I always took him for one who truly cared about people but just chose to cut to the chase rather than waste time coddling people.

At least now he is at peace and out of pain.
Amen.
 
This time 2 weeks ago, you left me, left us. :cry:
I miss you.

Yes, it's been 2 weeks. My original post mentions a different time frame but that's because I'm in Australia and I also wasn't informed that William was in hospital. I'm still angry I didn't get to tell him I love him one last time, I'm angry that his brother who is a FB friend of mine (not William's) couldn't pick up the phone and call me, I was left wondering why William was getting back to me but also knowing something isn't right, contacting his brother. After finding out William had passed via a FB post, I was in shock, I was shaking, trembling, I lost the man I loved for the last 6 years, the man I was going to marry and everyone was giving their condolences to a brother that was almost never there for him. I know some people may choose not to want a funeral but to paint a picture for you, William's brother and sister didn't hold a funeral for him. When I contacted his brother to find out details, it hurt my heart to know his only 2 living family members weren't going to honour his memory. I have had a memorial for him, it was small but I couldn't just sit by and do nothing.

I have more to write but I have to be at a lunch at 11am (yes, my sister booked it for when the restaurant opens) for my nephews birthday. I will come back later to continue.

I want to thank everyone for your posts. They have helped.

Thank you! Prayers would be greatly appreciated. My thoughts are starting to come together and I feel I will be able to share more later on today, in fact I think it will help with me processing it. I hope everyone doesn't mind me doing that in this space. <3

God's blessings and a massive hug from me but sweetheart, it sounds like they might be an unhappy, insecure family for some reason. It's hard not to feel even more down when you're already hurting but it does sound pretty extreme, which suggests there's something troubling there .

I grew up in a pretty troubled family and was pretty troubled too, until i understood some about what was at the root of it. These things are often pretty dark and involve several generations, you're really hurting and it's very possible they are too. Hope what i've said makes some sense, a comment isn't the best medium. Also, you're really hurting at the moment and know myself how easy it is to read more than there is into things, when you're in pain.

Blessings and love Mezame and know there are a lot of perceptive, caring people on the singles forum, who definitely care about you.
 
I wanted to come on and let you all know I Haven't forgotten I was going to share more, I just don't have the head space for it atm. I will come share, just don't know when.

God bless you all. xo
