Made me laugh more than anyone else. And his IG was an inspiration. He lived big up to the end.

Being minimally connected off-board, I didn't even know he was sick. Gut punch for sure. Fuck.

His Instagram for the last two years has been dedicated to his cancer and more importantly, his utter refusal to let it overwhelm him. Almost every post had a #fucancer tag attached. About a year ago, he got cleared to go back on the trails, and he's been biking and doing what he loves ever since. As recently as January, his numbers from the oncologist were doing really well. It was one of my favorite feeds to follow because it was so full of life and someone doing what he clearly loved. And it was beautiful. He took great photos that really captured the natural beauty around him. And many of the pictures were action shots of the various bike trails he was on. It was hard to reconcile his illness with his absolute love of life. He'd posted in January that his numbers at the oncologist's office were doing great, and I (and I assume everyone else) had assumed that he was otherwise healthy.

I'll miss him a lot, even though we never managed to connect in real life. Once, he was going to come down to Houston for a depo, and we'd have drinks. But it got cancelled, and I never had cause to go up to Minnesota

I had talked to him on the phone a few times, but like Ollie I did not know he was sick. I miss him already.

Pretty Little Flower

I just heard (thanks Less) and thank you Stina for getting my log-in back.

Just also spoke with my old Wonder-Twin Multo, who was good friends with him during her turn in MN.

Flower and I were certainly very friendly, but not as close like some of us here. Yet we would would invite each-other in town. To show how long this GA thing has gone down, we saw shows in both NYC and SF. Three or 4 by my count.

Godspeed, my friend.

Stick around?

I’ve been trying to think who else does not seem to be on IG or here? Atticus is all I can think of. He is my FB friend so I told him.


I had a matter in Minneapolis a few years back. We were supposed to meet one night but then he had some driving kid to Bball practice cone up.

I'll take the baby asprin and pass on the running. Jim Fixx died of a heart attack at age 52 while running.
