How many posters have really died?

I think we lost another poster recently. I was Facebook friends with him, trying to verify.
 
If anyone wants to help financially support @edco76 's family, you can donate here.

First I would like to say thank you to each and every individual who has reached out to our family during this difficult time. You guys do not know how much your love and support has meant to us. Unfortunately, Eddie's injuries have left him in a state in which he will not be able to sustain life without 24/7 medical support via a ventilator, tracheostomy, and feeding tube as he is paralyzed from the neck down. Today we were fortunate enough to be able to turn off all of the sedatives and have a discussion with Eddie regarding his wishes and whether he would want to live on life support. Eddie has decided that he would not want to live that way. Today we will be removing the ventilator and other support and administering medications to ensure that he is comfortable. Again, thanks to everyone for your support, love, and prayers. Please continue to pray for our family as we endure this very sad time.

On July 2nd, Eddie Cook was involved in a diving accident in which his spinal cord and cervical spine were injured. Unfortunately, Eddie's injuries have left him in a state in which he can not survive without the support of a ventilator and other medical equipment. Eddie and his family have decided to remove the ventilator and allow him to pass peacefully with his family at his side. Eddie has served the public for 9 years while working for Northstar Emergency Medical Services where he worked as a medic. He has dedicated his life to helping others and now it is our turn to help him! This fund will be used to help cover funeral expenses and any other expenses that Violet may need assistance with. Please donate whatever you can afford and continue to lift Eddie and his family up in your prayers!

Just heartbreaking. Hope you guys can find a few dollars to help out his family during this time.
 
I remember losing Kansas and it hitting hard. It was the first time I really saw that we can make a real impact on people's lives here. Conrad and HuntersCreed were especially hard, they helped me through some really rough times, and I owe them a great deal for being good friends to me when I needed it most.

RIP Brothers

So tragic. Edco always came off as an active and social dude who was always looking for new hobbies, and most recently discovered motor biking. To hear he was faced with a decision like that is upsetting
 
I'm sorry to hear about edco. Terrible.

When the data storage servers go offline then all these posts will be lost, like tears in the rain...
 
I still think about Conrad from time to time. He was one the nicest guys I've ever met on this site. Him and I had some long talks. That guy really helped me lot. It was really heartbreaking to see his wife logging into his account on occasion. I just hope she could find some comfort in the fact that he made such an impact on all these people
 
Awful news, RIP.

It's crazy to think that for a lot of us our accounts here are going to outlive us.
