Here's hoping that Angelsboi's up there somewhere living up to his screen name.

Remember him well, learn what he told us all to learn from his mistakes, and know that he's in a place without pain or sadness.

(As an aside, I am getting information on where flowers and the like can be sent, for those inclined. Thanks.)

Yes, please do.

Angel - please look after us.

Rest in Peace, Ryan. You were a great human being and I know you are in a better place now.

Wow...
Rest in peace.

I'll add that I'm utterly devastated by this news. Like many, I knew he wasn't in the greatest of health, but had hoped he would be among us for many a year.

A memory It was just before he had found out about his illness, and I recall him sending along a commission request to have a couple of his characters drawn up for a game he was playing in.

Normally I don't take commission requests, but his characters were so unique, and memorable, that I had let him know that I'd like to give drawing them for him a whirl. This was a day before I was about to depart on a trip to MA for a convention, and I had let him know that when I returned after a week, that I would hash out the details with him.

Sadly, things wen't terribly for him before I could return the E-mail. But his characters still stand out in my mind. If I hadn't had lost the message due to a drive corruption, I'd have drawn them gratis just because of their vibrancy.

I'll miss seeing him around. I'm terribly sorry to hear that another wildly creative soul has been taken, and I send my deepest regrets to his loved ones in this sad time.

Peace and no pain, sometimes the best we can ask for.

I never knew him all that well, but found myself worried all the same when I first stumbled across a thread regarding his condition however many months back, and even found myself checking his livejournal here and there over the months to come out of my general paranoia that he'd passed on without a word nor peep without my knowing.

All my condolances to those who must live on without him.

So sad...

My thoughts are with his family and friends, most especially Kevin, his S.O.

Yet Billy's motorcycle anecdote brings a smile to my face and reminds me what a bright and quirky soul angelsboi was.

I remember telling him to move to the Bay Area. I told him he'd fit right in with all the other freaks here. I was being kinda cheeky about it, but now I really wish he'd said "Yeah...I think I will!" He was one of my favorite electronic people and I'd have liked to have known the flesh and blood version.

I can't help thinking: At least he got to see the last ep of Angel...
