Our Dear Moderator Eriktheaweful Has Passed Away

I just found out on facebook after checking up on him that he has passed. I knew I should have checked on him sooner. I didn't see any threads about this and apologize if there was one and I missed it. Cancer took his life. He was doing well and then...

January 14th 2020

I am so saddened by this news and rather lost for words at the moment. I'll always remember his kindness and humor. I still can't believe he is gone.

Goodbye my friend. I believe that you are in a better place now without pain, a beautiful place. You will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy to your family and friends who are left behind. Much love to you in your new journey.

I didn't know him very well, but I am saddened to hear of his passing. I was hopeful that he would pull through, but unfortunately not everyone does. He was a good guy with a good sense of humor and he will be missed.

That sucks, very sad to hear. Always enjoyed his insight. Godspeed Erik!

Rest in peace, Erik.

I only briefly had some conversations with him here, online. And as others have mentioned, i will say that he had a great sense of humor.

May you rest eternally in peace Erik.

This came as a bit of a shock, I always enjoyed his insights and comments.

If there is a voyage into the unknown - may you find a more peaceful existence on the other side Erik.

Your perspective and off-colour humor will be missed.

Thanks for the heads up Night Star , sad news indeed.
He was a good head and will be missed so now he takes his place in the ATS hall of the Dearly Departed , I will miss his input and his humour.

RiP Eriktheaweful.
Condolences to his family and those lucky enough to call him friend in real life.

Oh dear...
Thank you for posting.
ATS is family and it's heartbreaking when we lose one of our own.
Rest in Peace and deepest sympathy to family and friends.

As it goes. We lost a friend but we have a memory.

We lost a star, but the night sky has gained one.
My deepest condolences to all those who knew and loved him.

Oh no, this is terrible news.

I always loved his Let Play's with his son in the Video Games forum. Those were post that I related too so much as I am a gamer myself and its a passion that I share with my oldest daughter.

I don't do empathy very well since the loss of my mom, but this makes me very sad for his family. He seemed like such a wholesome good dude.

Very sad.

RIP Erik

May you find all the answers to all conspiracy theories ever! My deepest sympathy for him and his family

Hi Night! Do you know what kind of cancer he had?
I had an aunt once who got ill suddenly and went to the doctor, found out she had stage 4 lung cancer and in 2 weeks she was GONE! Just like that, no time for any kind of radiation or any of the treatments they might have done.

I didn't know Eric at all but I do recall seeing that name many times. Its easy for the ones who have gone on but hard for the ones left behind. God bless his family who mourn his loss.

Sad news.

Vale Erik ...

Such sad news.

All the good energy I can muster to his family. RIP EtA

Thanks for sharing Mrs. Leaper.

Loss for words here.

I loved his threads about gaming , he was really passionate about it , and he mentioned numerous time how he played and enjoyed the games with his son.

Much strength to his Familiy , and to those around here that knew him personal.

My deepest sympathy to family and friends of Eriktheaweful.
He's now moderating for the big guy upstairs.

Erik and I talked about gaming a few times, especially the mass effect series. I loved his goofy laugh when he’d post videos of his gameplay and always enjoyed that he played with his son, too. We certainly weren’t BFFs, but I will miss him tremendously.

Given our chats about mass effect, I can think of nothing more fitting to say beyond “farewell, and into the inevitable.”

I too once knew him on Facebook.

On top of this most traumatic past few months for me here, this news breaks what little I had left.

I was admitted to hospital on the 15th.. an ominous foretelling.

Rest in peace dear good soul, may the universe be the best open world game for you yet.
