I don't even really know where to start something like this, but I will try regardless.
A few days ago I discovered that one of my best friends had passed away. I don't know how well-known Eel Eye was around here, but I know that he had a few dear friends way back when he was an active member of the FeralHeart community. He loved this place dearly, as I did him. He was practically my family, both online and in real life.
Eli was a great friend, and one of the sweetest people I have ever met. He comforted me when I was down, cheered me up when I was feeling irate and was generally one of the best friends I have ever had. He was such a big silly, and I don't think I knew anyone who was as cheerful and optimistic as he was.
On the 6th of July, 2013, Eli committed suicide after his mother's passing sometime last year.
I am still in a deep mourning for my friend, as I have only just received the news due to complications at his home. I don't really know how I have the courage to keep typing all this, if I'm being completely honest with anyone reading as well as myself. All I know is that Eli had good friends within this community and I felt it was wrong to mourn him alone. I thought his friends - which is everyone here, as I know he considered this place as good as home - deserved to know.
Wherever he is now, I just hope he has found peace at last. I love you, I miss you, my dear friend.

I'm sorry to hear you've lost a friend, and it really pains me to hear about someones passing.
Sometimes it happens that you blame yourself for someone else's death, which is something I hope you 'n other friends of his don't.
It's very difficult to tell something like this is about to happen, nearly impossible.
It happens very sudden, and it leaves us others hurting.
He seemed to have been a very nice person, to have made a friend like yourself.
I hope you're doing alright.
Remember not to be sad because it's over, but to be happy because you met.
