Shit, this is awful to hear.  He has helped me with some of my shit in the last year and I know he was in an even tougher spot.  Fuck.  

Don't doxx him, but if somebody knows how to reach him...please let me know.

Sigh. Shit.

And I owe him a call.

The man has to want to get better. And I just don’t know if he does.

He's apparently taken a turn for the worse and is in very critical condition.  Dang .. I spoke with him at length about two months ago and he posted on FB on April 15. Fuck.

 

Does either of y'all know how he's doing?

Goddamn it.  He was a great poster and came off like a genuine good dude.  I've seen him allude to his issues in some other threads.  Fucking sad as hell, but sometimes you just can't outrun that shit.

Fucking fuck!  I didn't know  him IRL.  But we exchanged messages and he was of great help/inspiration to me, and a funny and smart cat with a lot of life lessons and experience in so many things.  Shit.  Just shit.  It's all shit.  But he was a light.

Truly heartbreaking. Like Lobo, I'd never met him in person but we'd also exchanged messages over the last decade, and I'd been following him on FB for a few years. He was a really great writer and told some fascinating stories about his dad, his town, and his life. I think I'm going to cry now.

Instead on dwelling on his end, feel free to take a look at the legacy he made.  Books on Amazon, articles in Houston publications, and articles in many other places, including 244 Texas Monthly articles.

Oh my god, I met him at the Texas Book Festival.  Likely at our author breakfasts at Texas Monthly HQ.  Holy shit.  

What a fucking small world.  And it's a little worse off today.

Very cool. Didn't know he was a writer. Also figured he was an older guy (unfortunately).

RIP.

So TJ really wasn’t TPE. 
 

So much history in this community and we lose a little of it, bit by bit, every year. As he goes, so goes a piece of the HornFans/Shaggy/Surly lore. 
 

Vaya con Dios.

Damn.  Seemed like a really good dude.   I never met him in real life, but I enjoyed his writing over the years and enjoyed his posts here.   Here's to going out with as much grace and dignity as possible.

Well fuck me. Earlier today I found out the Grendal/PO1D died in March and now MAC is terminal. Two wildly different posters who brought a helluva lot of entertainment to the boards over the years. Bummer. Addiction's a bitch.
