I’m very sad to report that after all this time, I have an update on GeekFTW.

I received this DM from his partner and learned that he unexpectedly passed away back in January.

Out of respect, I’ve omitted Geek’s first name and his partner’s username from the screenshot, as I always got the vibe that Geek was very protective of his online anonymity. If they(the partner) give the okay, I will reveal it. I’ve replaced the screenshot with the unredacted one.

I initially asked permission to post this but I didn’t feel right sitting on this news and not sharing it with all of you. I’ve been given permission.

Please share your thoughts and well wishes in the comments below.

    Ten-Bell Salute

    Such a gut punch, held out a lot of hope life just got in the way, I’ll pour one out for him. Hell of a lot of respect for everything he did to keep this community going, from the reddit exodus, to the Kbin 404 forced moving to Lemmy, tons of posts, just all around you don’t come across people online you totally appreciate all that often, and he certainly had my appreciation and respect. RIP.
