[OT]Joel, you will be missed
Posted on: 05.07.2011 by Tatum Ansaldo
On friday, a great friend of mine who I lived with for my first 2 years of university died in a tragic boat accident. He was only 21 and it has come as a great shock to all his friends and family; we're all trying to help each other stay strong.

He was a truly great friend, and he'd just finished his degree with a 2:1 in history and ancient history. He would have graduated on the 19th of this month.

I know none of you ever knew him, but he was the one who encouraged me to buy my first controller when I was wondering whether or not I wanted to spend the money, and needless to say I haven't looked back. To me, he was a great man.

Rest in peace Joel, I'm really gonna miss you buddy.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss man, truly. I cannot imagine what it feels to loose a friend so unexpectedly, the closest thing that ever happened to me was losing a relative to old age. We all expected it, and it still was hell.

You have my sincere condolences

I need your help guys!

Throughout our uni years we developed so many in-jokes we almost had our own language. As a tribute to our beloved friend, we're trying to get one of those (Raptor) to trend on twitter. Joel would have loved this, and we want to do it in his honour.

Please, anyone who uses twitter, write a tweet (or several!) with the hashtag

#raptor

If you like, @mention me (@JonHersom)
Thanks so much!

Go out for a few beers with your old uni mates and you'll all be reminiscing and laughing about the old times soon enough I'm sure.

I 3rd it. I know what you're going through man, I know it all too well. The death of one close to us is a terrible thing but you will eventually come to terms with it, one way or another. You still have the memories of the time you spent together, so cherish them.

As said above, we're around if you need to talk.

It is never easy to loose someone in life. But having your friends close will help with the grief you all share. You will all have some good stories to share and hopefully even have a chuckle or two about some of the shenanigins you all would of been a part of in Joel's life.

Take care.

It's always a hell of a circumstance to bring family and friends together, but I'm glad you have your friends to get you through it. I know that you're hearing it from everyone but may your friend rest in peace and I hope you're doing well.

You're one of the people who has helped me the most, both directly and indirectly, so if you need anything from me or your interweb friends, let me know.

Thanks for your support guys, I really appreciate it. I found out on saturday but it's only just starting to sink in.

If there is one good thing that can be said to have come of this, it's that it's brought my group of friends from uni back together. I hadn't seen most of them in about a year having been living in Spain, and since I happened to be in the UK and I've extended my stay, we've all been able to meet up and talk; to help each other through it. They're a great group of guys, and I know I'd be finding it much harder without them

I wasn't sure about whether or not to post on here, but I feel like you guys are my friends too, even though I've never even met most of you face to face and you're scattered across the globe. The wonders of the internet, eh.
