Very sorry to read about it. May his soul rest in peace. May his loved ones have the strength to go through this.

Aw, man. Because I'm at that sentimental age, I sometimes do a mental rundown of posters who haven't been around in a bit that I really miss. Blaze is one of them. It's a small thing compared to what he gave his family, but he gave me a few grins and made me think. And that is most appreciated. Thanks for making the world better and a little more interesting, Blaze.

Terrible tragedy. Way too young to go. RIP, and I hope friends and family can in some way comfort the wife and son during this sad time.

That's much too young. My heart goes out to his family.
Never met the guy, of course, but often enjoyed Blazefire's posts.

Let's turn this into a posbang in his honor.

Way too young. Tragic. RIP friend.

Damn one of the OGs on this board.
As a dad near the same age as Blaze with two young girls, I simply can’t imagine not seeing them grow up. All the love in the world to Blazefire’s wife, son, and family and friends.
December 30th, 2019 at 3:20 PM ^
That is way too young. RIP blazefire and condolences to that young family.

That is very sad. Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends.

That's really sad to hear. He was a solid contributor to the blog, and I liked his avatar. RIP comrade.
December 30th, 2019 at 4:07 PM ^
This is awful... makes you think about what’s important. I’m basically the same age with a wife and child also. My goodness this is terrible.
December 30th, 2019 at 4:30 PM ^
Condolences to his family. Rest in peace

RIP Brother

Just terrible.
He was a great poster, I had wondered what happened to as him as he didn't seem to post much anymore in the last few years.
He had invited me to a game watch party once since we are from the same town, and now I regret not stopping by and getting the chance to meet him.
RIP to a fellow Bedford Kicking Mule, Toledo Rocket, and Michigan fan, and condolences to his family.

Just terrible news and my condolences to his family. I had a number of really good discussions on this blog with him nd he seemed like a great guy.
December 30th, 2019 at 6:18 PM ^
Sorry to hear this. What is it about the holidays, right? RIP
December 30th, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
Godspeed Blazefire, and blessings to your family and friends.
December 30th, 2019 at 7:27 PM ^
That's awful to see a guy die so young; condolences to his family and his young son.
I know we all act like idiots here sometimes, but behind all the usernames and dumb insults are real human beings. Situations like this drive that point home.
December 30th, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
Wtf. I'm so sorry to hear this. RIP ERIC
December 30th, 2019 at 8:27 PM ^
Bedford Class of '99. I did not know Eric but I think one of my brothers did. I am very sorry for your loss.
December 30th, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Fucking sucks.
December 30th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
He used to come to my midnight maize chats. This is awful. He was a huge part of my mgoblog prime. See you in another life brother.
December 30th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
RIP. May god be with his family

Very sad news to lose an original Haloscan member of this site.
We toast to your avatar, Blazefire:
December 30th, 2019 at 11:33 PM ^
Bless the haloscan days. And Blazefire of course.
January 3rd, 2020 at 10:19 PM ^
Now I remember him. Way too young to die. Payers to his family.
December 30th, 2019 at 10:24 PM ^
Life is so unbelievably goddamn precious. We’re all hanging by a thread, man. I was lurking for years before I ever created an account, and of course I remember Blazefire.
Posters like he (him? Where’s Blazefire when you need...him) are what you come to like and then love about MGoBlog — not the daily content, great as it is, so much as the community. They’re similar to the program: they do it the right way. And none of us can beat Ohio State, either. (Ha! Fuck me.)
RIP, sir. Hope the hereafter offers a good cheese course. Go Blue ad eternum.
December 30th, 2019 at 11:31 PM ^
RIP Blazefire. Guess its been a while since he's been here, but the board could do with a few more like him.
December 30th, 2019 at 11:39 PM ^
If there is a highlight of this thread, it is the absolute barrage of posters with a join date of 2008 or 2009.
Blazefire was such a critical part of making this board a destination for many of us.
January 3rd, 2020 at 2:13 PM ^
This is a sad sad news of such a young person.
RIP and my deepest prayers to his wife and son...
Unfortunately, the life goes on like a flowing river.
January 3rd, 2020 at 2:40 PM ^
Rest in peace, brother. Go Blue.
January 3rd, 2020 at 7:39 PM ^
Oh no!
Tragic, sad news...appreciate your family, your friends, your life; you never know when your time comes. Prayers for the friends and family, God bless you, Eric...
