Goddammit, man. I was watching his progress and pulling for him; I really believed he could beat this after he knocked it on its ass and from what I saw in the thread he did too. Not once did I notice his morale falter…he was practically laughing in the face of cancer and he was awesome for it - a sign of true strength and fortitude.
2016 really is ass, we seem to have lost so many in the community this year and it never gets any easier.
Rest easy, Shatta…we’ll take it from here…
Fuck. Just saw via Facebook.
RIP Shatter, hope you playing some CvS2 with Mummy-B right about now. Finally you can rest and be free bro.
Rip
Didn’t know much about em, but the thread about him beating cancer (and seemed like multiple times?!) was always a mainstay sticky I was so used to seeing.
And then this happens.
Wish his family the best.
i think ill really regret not donating to him more, or buying more shirts…i really wish i had. i dont know if it would have helped but it just feels like i really fucked up in not doing that. i feel like shit.
RIP brother
Really sad news. RIP Shatterstar.
Sad news to everyone. GGs Shatterstar.
Dont play that game with yourself. There’s a million and a half things you could have done but could is irrelvent compared to what you actually did. You could’ve donated more, but what matters is that you actually did: you couldve bought more shirts, but you did buy some.
You may have some regrets about not doing more but its what you did that counted. Dont torture yourself over stuff that didnt happen.
i was cool with S.S on another forum for at least 10 yrs or so, didnt even know he was into fighters until later in our dealings with each other…i’d been pulling for him ever since he made his battle with cancer public on the net…
R.I.P good friend
It’s time to wrap up this fuckin year.
RIP Shatta. Always chill and mos def a fighter.
Dammit.=(
Thanks for saying it better than I could. I have the same experience and regret.
Rest in love, Shatta.
God damnit.
I remember hearing he had cancer and then later hearing it was in remission. Fast forward to today and I hear he has passed. Damn. What awful news. RIP Shatterstar. May you Negro Install with the best of them in the next life.
I don’t personally know the dude but RIP; I hope you are chillling up there talking about beats with Nujabes. I remember donating to @swbeta charity stream last time he did it.
‘We await your return, warrior.’
*I already miss him. I didn’t know Shatta personally pre-diagnosis but once he came out and told SRK what he was going through I immediately reached out to him and tried to help him. I wish that I was able to help him more and I wish I spent more time chatting with him about other areas other than cancer. But what I can say proudly is that I got to know, and that he was one of the coolest cats I ever had the chance of talking about life with. He made defeating cancer the first time look effortless. I’ll never forget that.
We await your return, Warrior.
