RIP Horetore

[Vincent Butler]

I agree, I was hoping the title of the thread did not mean what it meant. While I disagreed with most of his views, you hate to see anybody like that die. He was the same age as me, 28. Kind of sobering. It is amazing how the death of somebody you never knew, in a country far away, can affect you. I don't know what he would think, but his family has my prayers.

[Brenus]

Couldn't believe it when I saw it first...
You left for the other side of the hill...
Sad sad day...

[The Lurker Below]

Sad news indeed. The great Backroom in the beyond will enjoy his voice. RIP.

[Hooahguy]

I will be visiting Norway again in a few months, and I am planning on visiting his grave. Would people be interested in chipping in for a small memorial plaque on behalf of us here at the Org that I can place by his grave?

Count me in.

[Sarmatian]

Of course.

[Hooahguy]

How does this one look?

I was thinking putting a picture of his avatar in there as well.

Stainless steel so it wont rust in the harsh Norwegian winter, I hope.

[Fragony]

Sure thing

[Kralizec]

Sounds good.

[Hooahguy]

Any idea on what text to put? When I get home I'll jot some down and post them.

[Beskar]

Maybe @Greyblades to pen a one paragraph summary in poetry format like he did on the previous page? (or anyone else, for that matter)

[Hooahguy]

Yeah that one is a very nice one, though maybe cut down a bit since Im not sure that would all fit on the plaque. I was also sent this poem by a member of the Norway subreddit, also a poem of his own creation:

Dreams doesn't abate,
Even if somewhat late,
Rejoice!
Rejoice evermore!
And consider it the ultimate metaphor,
The good still triumphs and soars,
To nurture and bring as yours,
A smile across oblivion,
A token of joy to you given,
Even among the dead,
They can still grant a victory shed.

[Fragony]

Six feet under like everyone ele, finally equality.

Noooo not that one. Something neutral.

[Montmorency]

How about:

All men are greater than dead men.

I think he would have liked that one.

[Kadagar_AV]

The past lies like a nightmare upon the present.

KARL MARX

[Fragony]

My suggestion, simply 'for Loki'. Loki is old Nordish for 'he who is beloved'

[Greyblades]

Was horetore a diablo fan? maybe we could put "HoreTore, We still dont know what that means"

[Furunculus]

I'm sorry to hear this news.

[Sigurd]

My Condolences to those who knew him better than I.

I dreaded coming back to the BR after our defeat (soccer) against HoreTore's old home team. A town the size of one of our roundabouts. His home team made sure we are leaving the elite division for a lower one next year.
Knowing HoreTore's passion for fuzzba' he would have posted a lengthy mockery of this event in the BR. The game happened to coincide with the announcement of his death (26th of November) and I hope the game didn't give him a heart attack or something.

I am kinda sad that thread is not here.

[Sigurd]

I think that might be a little inappropriate, but he was kinda on the fringe of what is appropriate.
As you all know by now, HoreTore means Whore Thor.

[Slyspy]

Sad news indeed. Life can be cruel but death is more so.

[Hooahguy]

I was actually thinking putting his signature as part of the plaque, maybe at the bottom or something.

"Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban."

[Fragony]

Life can be so cruel that some prefere death. Am I really supposed to be the one that points out what should be pretty clear to everybody in the first place. There are no diseases that kill that fast, do I really have to suggest it.

also can do poems

[Hooahguy]

I actually just received word about his cause of death from his sister. Apparently he had undiagnosed diabetes, that is all his family is willing to tell me.

[Fragony]

Excuse me for not really believing that really. I hope that's true. But I am almost always right about these things though, don't know why. I can also be absolutiy wrong.

[Hooahguy]

That is just what the family told me. Maybe something is getting lost since they might not know English as well as Erik did, but does it really matter in the end?

[Viking]

Actually, Frags, there seems to even be a name for it (or something similar). Google is your friend.

Dead in bed syndrome is a term used to describe the sudden unexplained deaths of young people with type 1 diabetes.

The syndrome is characterised as when someone with insulin dependent diabetes has gone to bed seemingly perfectly fine and has been found dead in an undisturbed bed.

Even if this was a forum for the world's best doctors, we do not have that much to go by, so confident conclusions seem uncalled for.

[Seamus Fermanagh]

Unless you have lived with a diabetic, you cannot understand the potential severity of the condition. If undiagnosed, a high sugar in the 300s -- peeing a lot, feeling some fever/flu symptons -- combined with another largish dose of carbohydrates (like rice or the noodles in a large bowl of soup) can spike the sugar well into the 600+ range. This can literally leave the person comatose while their body self destructs.

My daughter was diagnosed as a Type I diabetic 3 days before her 7th birthday. We caught it early with her sugar "only" in the 340s. Some previously healthy teens are brought in by their parents with sugar scores in excess of 900 and require weeks of hospitalization after diagnosis.

Maybe he had the 'flu" only this one attacked his pancreas. He got better, but was then prone to "recurrent viruses" -- at least that is how you feel and what you think is happening. Then the failing pancreas shuts down....at the wrong moment....and the person living alone is no more.

Do not presume that you know "better" here. That which is unknown about viruses and their insidious attacks on the human body will eventually fill more volumes of information than that which we know.

Even if the family IS using this as a masque of some form -- I have no right to intrude further on their grief. They will all be in my prayers.

I like it. It is a plaque commemorating his relationship with The Org, after all.
