    @ macera: I hope you're with my best friend now. She was tons of fun.
    about Wall-E: I sincerely hope you weren't screaming at the screen that lions don't talk and toys don't story...

    To the Macera family I only wish togetherness.

    dear forum members,

    this is macera's mother. his father and i have been reading your posts and laughing and crying. we thank you very much for your condolences and memories of him. we're not gamers and don't understand much of what you've said but the fact that he was liked and admired is crystal-clear. we are glad that you had a chance to know him. tomorrow he will be laid to rest with his family. no viking funeral, alas. please pause for a moment and remember a cool dude.

    i will also ask 2 more things of you.
    1. the next time you find yourself getting angry with another take a deep breath before you say or do anything.
    2. call home. now.


    Condolences, and thank you for the sage advice and taking the time to share your time and thanks with this forum. Your son will be missed, but we are grateful for the time we were able to share with him here. Thank you.

    Thank you. Your son was a wonderful person, a decent man, a funny, entertaining and kind member of this community and his mere presence will be sorely missed. Your advice and wisdom was enough to make me cry and be so thankful for all that I have. My deepest condolences, from the bottom of my heart, go out to you and the rest of your family and I hope your son can find peace now. Once again I must say I regret not knowing him better, but I feel we were so privileged to know him at all. I am glad you got to see the amount of people he touched, and how many of us will mourn and keep him in our hearts and memories. He was special. And most importantly he was good. That alone puts him head and shoulders above so many others.

    Really, thank you for taking the time to come here. We all appreciate the extra bit of effort you took to make that post.

    It's always regrettable when the forums lose one of their own. Whether we find one another at PAX or one of the other social gatherings, or never meet face to face, this community sees one another through good times and bad, through thick and through thin, from donating time and resources to Childs Play and the Secret Santas/Saints, to just posting support (and off colour vulgarity) in threads when someone is having a bad day.

    Thank you for sharing with us, @macera_mom.

    ... I was holding up pretty well, and then BAM, Gatsby and M_M's posts back to back.

    @macera_mom

    I knew your son. I knew him as a member of our community. I did not know him 'personally,' I did not meet him face to face, and I did not talk to him directly often. Our interactions were limited to comments made to the group, with the other perhaps in close vicinity, viewing the comment as collateral to the rest of the interactions.

    It's kinda hard to explain what our community is to outsiders, what being part of our community means to each other and how we interact. It can appear that total strangers have made deep connections and share close secrets which would normally be reserved for intimate personal friendships.

    We are a sort of fraternity or club with no restrictions on membership, no barriers to keep new souls from joining our group. All number of creeds, races, nationalities, and beliefs are intermixed here. We survive on our wits alone.

    Your son was genuinely funny, he would share humorous photos and images relevant to the conversation. He would share links and make silly comments that would make people chuckle. He would do all sorts of non-sequitors that ingrained him in our community, and in my mind, as a humorous and good natured person. But he made his mark to me because he did all of this without putting people down. Often here, good intention or not, we resort to insults and ribs at each other. It's an easy way to make wit and get noticed.

    Your son is remembered by me as picking people up with his wit, not putting people down. For all the varied opinions we had with each other, I cannot remember him making me feel bad. I can only remember him being earnest and kind.

    Thank you for giving him to us. For all the good he gave to our community during the brief time we knew him, I can not imagine the pain your family is going through. All I can give you now is the celebration of his life. He was a good man. He did good things. He was earnest and funny. He was not mean or cruel or spiteful. We were better for knowing him and wish we could have known him more.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    I didn't know him, but still I pray

    In hopes that he will be remembered well

    But I suppose only time will tell

    Here's hoping he went peacefully

    Macera's posts were always awesome, though I never had the opportunity to talk to him. That saddens me more than words can possibly say. It just goes to show, if you get the feeling that you want to talk to someone, whatever it's for, do it. Don't procrastinate because there isn't always a tomorrow to put it off on. My deepest condolences Macera Family. I hope you can be strong through this difficult time and the thoughts of how well-remembered/liked he was are comforting.

    See you on the other side someday Macera.
