Although I did not directly know Warchild either, as a fellow member of this forum, I would like to send my condolences to his family.
I'd chatted with Warchild a time or two, but I didn't know him like a lot of ya'll do. It's always painful when we lose a family member, whether they were close or not. My sincerest condolences to his immediate family, as well as our family members here, for their loss of a friend! Godspeed bro!
Ummm.....I'm pretty speechless and shocked but I'd just like to say that Warchild extended warm friendship and real world advice to everyone he came across on this forum. I loved his tales and enthusiasm and I'm sure he was an inspiration to many of us. I hope you have an AR15 under every window wherever you are now Brother......R.I.P
I had noticed someone mention warchild being gone in another thread. Certainly, it was not that grim! Surely, he was saying goodbye to warchild because he been banned! (Even the best of us can fall) And I quickly typed in warchild's name in an attempt to find his profile page to confirm with great hope that he had indeed just been banned and not passed... But... unfortunately, the explanation was not that he was banned... I never really had any conversations with him. But it is always a tragedy when someone passes. May he rest in peace.
"And Io, do I see my father And Io, do I see my mother And my sisters and my brothers And the line of my people, Back to the beginning... And Io, they do call me, In the halls of Valhalla Where the brave may live forever!"
Quite a ways back I was discussing something about American slipjoints with someone, and how it frustrated me that I couldn't get them here without international purchases. WC told me to pm him my address just because, and I did, and he tried to send me a couple of knives. It didn't work out in the end due to several things, but it goes well with the things posted here of those that knew the kind hearted polar bear. He was a good man, a good friend, and even though I didn't know him that well, he showed generosity and kindness that I've never seen before. May we all meet again.
I'm not as active in the forums as I'd like so i'm a little late. I'm really sorry to hear this. I prayed for him the first time I heard about his illness he will be in my thoughts tonight. I hope you´re in a better place now forum buddy.
Been doing alot of leather work lately. ... It always make me think of you brother. Share the bear. Miss ya wc
This is hard to accept. Warchild was too young and too good to have to leave this world. He was like a coach to me and many of us here. Kind, generous, encouraging, supportive, sure of his beliefs, gentle, and lots of fun. I feel very sad to know he's gone. I send my condolences to his family and to all of you who are missing him, too.
I just found out about this. I am in shock. My wife doesn't understand why I shed tears for someone I never met in person. It doesn't matter why.....He was loved by many and will be missed. RIP Warchild.
I have been busy with work and absent from EDCF for quite a while. I was just gobsmacked to see this thread. His handle notwithstanding, Warchild was a warm and giving person. He made it possible to connect via the internet in precisely the ways its founders hoped it would be used to bring people together.
