All funeral/cremation/transportation expenses have been paid for 100% by donations from the Fark community. There are funds left over that will be rolled over into some type of account for his daughter to receive when she reaches the age of majority. There is a team of volunteers from the Fark community that work in financial advisory/investment fields that are working hard to research the best, safest way to go about accomplishing this. I would expect more specific details in regard to this effort to be posted later.

I remain in close, almost daily contact with his mother. She has asked that I post the following:

"I can't find words to thank them enough. I'm speechless and so proud to have had a son that they all thought so highly of. I've read and re-read all the nice things they've all said about him and it makes me cry but it also makes me proud"

She's talking about the comments about the original thread about his passing, which I sent to her. You all might also like to know that the vicar that performed his memorial service read the thread as well and used a lot of your kind words at the memorial service.

As for myself, I've seen the way the Fark community comes through for people before. You are some of the most amazing people I've ever had the pleasure of "knowing" and I'm proud, honored and humbled to be a part of you.

No hyperbole here: I truly don't know what I would have done without those of you that have reached out to me and supported me and listened to me without judging. I can never repay you for the kindness shown to me and to Carl's family and memory.

Tl/dr: Thank you.

Not to be an ass, but this would make me nervous. Leave it to the pros. Although people are obviously awesome on here, "volunteer fark people with someone else's money" doesn't rub me the right way

I probably wasn't clear. They are professionals. They just also happen to be farkers and so have volunteered their professional services.

Not only did a lot of liters contribute, but the gaming community found out and there was an online obituary for him that referenced his participation in Fark. IIRC, the obituary linked the original Fark thread and so a lot of his friends across the world, people he had met through various jobs in the gaming industry, found out about the donations and donated as well. It was an amazing thing.

the TF world (to say nothing of those that actually knew him) is and forever will be remarkably less cool without him, but......glad i was a tiny part of doing right by him and his family.

he was a good guy. i'll miss him.


See here how everything
Lead up to this day
And it's just like any other day
That's ever been
Sun going up and then
The sun, it rollin' down
Shine through my window
And my friends
They come around
Come around, come around
Come around.

Thanks much for the update, and for getting this all rolling...he was one helluva good guy and deserved many, many more years.

Any chance this whole thing has been documented and saved for his daughter? She's so young her memories are bound to fade over the years...

I'm gonna work on that when I'm a less brittle. I'll have his ashes and an audio recording of his memorial service and I plan to put together some things for her for when she's 18.

I finally remember that he passed. Sucks so much, he had to go during my mammoth amounts of homework, so everything was a blur the first half of December for me. He was one of my favorite Farkers too.

Was it every explain why he passed? He was so young. :(
