I always loved when he did that too. A3, CVS2, HNK, the man loved his fighters.
Sadly, I was one of the few that checked his last post to know he was in hospice care, and I say that with a feeling of utter shame. My heart sank when I read it, as I knew what it meant. I really wanted to send a message of encouragement and hope, but in the end I was a coward. What do you say to someone in that condition? How do you try to pep them up or show that although you don’t really know them, you still sympathize with their struggle on a fundamental level, via messageboard no less? Instead of giving him his just dues, I relented in fear that acknowledging his condition was in some way sealing his fate.
I didn’t know Shatterstar personally other than a few exchanges over the years, but I always admired his work ethic; whether it be churning out AVs, shirts, caps, you name it. He always seemed like a man with a plan. When he defeated cancer time and time again, I had a measure of pride that a fellow SRKer pulled through, but I didn’t really think of how torturous going through this ordeal multiple times until his latest string of diagnoses. A person’s will to live is just as important as their treatment, and he had it in droves.
However, I’m still ashamed, because all these accolades I’m saying freely- I could’ve easily sent his way before this terrible tragedy happened, but I guess we can only learn from our mistakes and keep moving forward.
Bah, this sucks. It was great hearing that he’d beaten the cancer the first time, so i guess I expected that he’d just be in remission and live life. Sad news to be sure…
Shatta was real enough that he was homeless for a while and would fuck broads but choose to still stay homeless cuz he knew better than to be tied down
When I saw the post from him saying he was in hospice, my heart sank. He was excited for the same type of games I was excited for so we always ended up in the same threads often. Shatter, you will be missed and if there is an afterlife, I hope you get to do what you enjoyed most, watch fighting vids and play dope ass action games. Peace to you and your family during these times.
Sad news. I never spoke to the guy personally but always caught his a-cho posts, avatars, and NI shirts around from time to time. It was really cool seeing everyone pull together for this guy with the laptop, donations, and positive support.
@Pertho If there’s any way to donate for funeral costs/medical bills please let me know. I’d be more than willing to help out.
If you guys want to and me to be a sort od official srk person to help im for it, but with the baby my schedule is ceazy. Dont know who wouls get the money and what they’d need it for.
Sad news, he was a great GD member. I feel a lot of guilt, i thought he was getting better & was going to overcome it. I wish i could have said some more encouraging words for him or do something to brighten his days. I hope wherever he is at now, he is at peace with no pain. Rest in Peace!
Never seen or meet this guy but from what it sounds like from everyone here, seems like a good person to me and I know what it’s like to lose a loved one to cancer. RIP bro and my condolences to the family as well.
