Sad news...

One of our fellow members suffered the loss of his wife today. Member as we know him is: Marquies-kublmax. An unexpected brain Aneurysm brought her to the hospital and eventually pronounced deceased at 3:30am this morning. At a young 29 this of course came as shock to me and to the extent I literally could not believe the words coming over the phone as they were told to me. Shannon, Marquie's wife has left behind two children-Myles (8) and Jada (4) I am making a very close guesstimate to ages, but still nonetheless two young children also suffered from this loss.

In my humble opinion this could not have happened to a happier,kinder,unselfish family. I have been Very good friends with Marquies and his family for quite some time now and know them very well. Despite the fact that he lives in Kansas he has visitied out here and even opened his doors and welcomed me in for the weekend I spent there for world finals. Typically for a single man that made friends with someone via the internet? Sure, but to completely open up and expose an entire family to a 'stranger'? Thats certainly going the extra mile and showing Alot of kindness and warmth.

To furthermore stress how giving she/they were Shannon was also a surrogate mother for twins. This is your typical well natured church going family to say the least. No alchohol,no smoking, just all around honest to goodness people.

I would also at this time like to take up a collection to send flowers/condoloences to him and his family. If any of you would like to contribute you can Paypal me at: Imsarcastik@aol.com Most of you will notice this is not my normal paypal address. This is being used for this purpose and this purpose only to seperate from current funds going in/out of my account. Any and all ideas are welcomed and if anyone would like to talk to me feel free to email,pm or call.

Some may ask...Why are you posting this here? Well its quite simple..Marquies had a love for his cars, but more for Audio/Video/electronics in general. A passion that he has had for quite sometime and Im sure will continue with him as well. Not to mention a few of us here knew him.

It definately makes you have an entirely new outlook on life. Here today and gone today is quite shocking, I cannot begin to imagine what is going through his head right now. I know he is a very strong individual and will pull through, although his kids will have a very hard time doing so.

It really does, proves that life can be taken away without hesitation. It was better that the kids at least got to know her a little bit, better than to have not known her at all. I know they will make it but the kids will probably take it the worst.

Its all good bud, its in the thought and efforts. For the record any financial sendings is completely optional and amounts (if sent) will be kept discrete. No one is judging a person here for sending/not sending or the amount that was sent.

If you guys have any ideas other than flowers please feel free to share. I just figured a nice floral arrangement and send him the balance. Funerals are pricey and it may just help out a bit.
