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.
I am truly shocked and saddened to hear this. Thank you,
@Mezame83, for letting us know.
Sub was a staple here. I can't remember exactly when he joined, but it felt like he was always here. Sub taught me the value of getting to know someone over time, even if it takes 15 years.
In the first several years, we disagreed over many things and how to approach them, and I'm not saying that to disrespect him in any way. What I'm trying to illustrate is that over a very long time, reading his posts helped me understand a bit more of where he was coming from. He helped me see things from a different point of view, and he went through more things in his life than the next 10 people combined.
Sub always talked openly about his medical issues and struggles with depression, but he was also always actively trying to help others who were going through the same things. I also appreciated that in various debates, he often worked very hard at trying to present things from several angles, not just a favored point of view.
A while back, I felt like cancer was hitting my friends and family left, right, front, and center. I also had a medical scare myself and while it didn't turn out to be cancer, I was emotionally wrung out and, knowing he had a lifetime of experience, wrote to Sub for advice.
He graciously took the time to listen and respond with compassion and sound spiritual counsel, and would check up to see how I was doing.
This was the most amazing thing about him. As much as he was suffering, he always had an eye out to help someone else.
Thank you again
@Mezame83. I am very sorry for the loss your mom and the loss of what Sub brought to your life, as well as to all of us.
I really appreciate you keeping us informed -- we would have otherwise never known.
I will greatly miss him and his posts, but I look forward to getting to speak to him in person someday in heaven.
