Bahamut Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 So I have been informed that HoopyFrood passed away in December . He had stage four colon cancer for about 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bahamut Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yep - if you happen to see him logged in Steam, it's because he gave his computer to his sister. Frost Bite has just heard a few days ago, and it seems the news has been passed around on Steam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Gun Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Jesus...I was just going to post in here about getting some games going again, and this was the last thing I expected to find. I knew he had some personal issues going on, but I never imagined anything remotely that severe. If any of his family happen to read this, my sincere condolences.

Bahamut Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hoopy came off to me as a good guy - temperamental for sure, but he almost never resorted to insulting people. He'll be missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah. I think people just got concerned when he was so down on himself. Sad to find out there was such a terrible source for his occasional negativity. RIP Hoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phill Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Aw man, that's a crappy way to start my day, Hoopy was a good guy and always fun to play with even if he was hard on himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRJustman Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I'm at a complete loss for words. I knew he was dealing with bad things in his life; I never realized they were THIS bad. I hope he had loving surroundings. I couldn't imagine (nor would I ever want to) what he had been going through. God speed, Hoopy, and may you always know where your towel is. --IJ.
