kanedaestes Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) I don't know where to put this and I know it is not that appropriate overall but I wanted to share news of a member and the crazy connections this site can make. MacrossMan used to be heavy on the boards and was impressed and inspired by many of you and your photos of toys/ models/ figures, etc. He was so inspired he began taking up photography and sold much of his collection to fund his new venture in life which turned into a career for him in Alabama. I met him off the boards through a mutual friend and connected instantly. He has recently passed and while I don't know the details it is sad to hear but he overall is one of my favorite stories to share to people. A man who found a community he loved which brought forth a passion that changed his life. Overall keep inspiring everyone around you both here and off the boards in life.

Loop Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 This is really sad to hear, I was missing his 1/48 loving and his posts. I was wondering where he went. Rest in Peace Macrossman, I am deeply saddened by this news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I was wondering hat happened to MacrossMan, he and I wrote back quite a few times as we are both big 1/48 VF-1 fans, was a very friendly guy indeed. Always envied the VF-1D he had. Raising a shot of Bourbon for you, R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonc Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Awww, that's sad news indeed. Don't know if I ever had any real conversations with the guy, but even though, I always feel a connection with people here who love the same things I do. He seemed like a nice guy, and it's sad to hear this news. I'll definitely keep his family in prayer and I hope he's now flying in his favorite Valkyries and reaching beyond the sky.

Mog Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks for passing on the news, kanedaestes. Sucks to hear about his passing. His "A Pimp Named Slickback" avatar always put a smile on my face when I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gakken85 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Sorry to hear. I think I remember him selling some stuff. Always go with your passions because life is short. Spend time doing what you want to be doing. I guess that's the lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mass driver Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm sorry to hear the news. I wish his family peace and comfort during this difficult time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyg Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I had a few PM exchanges with him early on here and was always impressed with his character and what a nice, genuine guy he was. He really was part of the fabric of this place for a long time. I haven't frequented the site like I did a few years ago and had been wondering where he'd gotten to. His presence here will certainly be missed. But I'm sure his family and friends are hurting far, far worse. I'm truly saddened by this news.

ron5864 Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 You know..this is pretty shocking and sad. I made a diorama for his 1/48 valks 4 years ago. He was truly a Macross enthusiast and a cool guy to talk to about the hobby. May you forever fly your Valkyrie in the endless blue sky Corey.
