Whitecree passed away

[Gig-O-Ram]

Oh, man...I don't come in for a while, and when I bring up this part of the forum tonight, it's the first thing I see. I didn't know Whitcree that well, even though he did throw his two cents into some of my posts from time to time. My sincere condolences go out to his family, and to those who knew him.

Rest in peace, Whitecree. You'll be missed...

Dang, just found out about this. This sucks. Whitecree is a good dude and he will be missed.

Whitecree is down. No joke, Whitecree is no more.

What happened? You ask. The short version is, Whitecree had a heart condition for the last bunch of years. He went to Vancouver for an angiogram/angioplasty, where they stick a catheter in your femoral artery in your leg, and run a hollow tube up to the heart and peek around with a fibre-optic camera. If they find plaque buildup, they use a tiny ballon to squeeze the plaque down, allowing the blood freer movement.

However, the procedure carries a slim risk of causing a possibly fatal heart attack, right there, as they do this procedure.

Since Whitecree was an atypical heart disease sufferer - meaning he didn't fit the 'norm' for heart patients - he also was one of those who fell into the slim chance of dying category.

So, my friends, these are my last words to you. I regret they are such sad and miserable ones - at least for me. I'll wait for you on the other side.

Now, there's a macabre thought...




This message retireved from Whitecree's files and posted by his request by his son.
Whitecree suffered a fatal heart attack early on the morning of May 27, 2007. This is an old farewell letter that he wished to be posted if he had passed during his procedure back in October, 2006. The timing may have been off, but his words still ring true. Farewell.

Oh...my God...

As much as I may have not known Whitecree, this was an extremely touching, yet painful story to read.

Suffering from a heart problem is no easy task, let alone going into surgery for it where you could have an even worse one happen to you causing death...he must of been a very brave man to agree to such a feat.

I'd like to formally apologize greatly for your loss, and give an extended one to the entire family. I really hope you guys can keep it together and keep praying for Whitecree, as I now will be after reading this. He seemed like he was a very good man, and it's a shame to see him go.

Please, if you will, read your personal message box as I've sent a..."proposal" to you regarding Whitecree and the information I've just read.

Thank you, and once again, I'm deeply sorry for your loss...

Wow..I may have not known Whitecree, but that is really touching. Theres nothing more I can say then I sincerely hope for the better times to come, and that I hope you can take some small consolation in the fact he was prepared. Thank you for taking the time to inform us and post this message.

This is, indeed, a very sad time. I knew Whitecree back at the MPC forums and he was always very nice. There was a thread about his passing not too long here at the HardwareLogic forums, located HERE.

It's very sad. I wish his family all the best.

I did know WhiteCree, mostly from the MaxPC forum, where he was more active. He was a great guy, and never had anything bad to say about anyone. He has been missed since he passed way, and will never be forgotten. May God bless his family.
