I assume this is not just a joke. In which case I express my sympathy. I never spoke to him, but dying must suck pretty bad. |

Link didn't work... oh man... Man trying to help brother falls to death from cliff Email this story Printer friendly format Top Stories New Jersey Lottery Glance Police: Shuey arrest could be 'tip of iceberg' New York Evening Lottery Glance ALBANew York New charges say man filed claims for two fictitious wives Steelworkers at Special Metals reject concessions July 31, 2003, 10:52 AM EDT RIPLEY, N.Y. -- A 20-year-old man died after falling 165 feet from a cliff he had scaled to help his stranded brother. Gabriel Klau, of Ashville, died shortly after being flown from the Chautauqua County gorge, about 65 miles west of Buffalo, to the Hamot Medical Center in Erie, Pa. Klau and his 18-year-old brother, Jacob, were swimming about 8 p.m. Wednesday when Jacob decided to climb the cliff alongside the swimming hole, Chautauqua County Undersheriff Dave Krieg said. Jacob became stuck on the way up, Krieg said, and his brother was climbing up to help when he slipped and fell. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is really sad. I can't say much more... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He got his computer back on the 28th and WOULD be posting now. I knew him better than I know anyone else here, this is just so surreal. |

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shit! this is awful.... :( things really gets into some perspective here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks for letting us know this very sad news! i think it would be nice if peepz who knew him (however so slightly) would post some things they will remember about him...... i'll start with my memories: - he had a wicked sense of humor =o) - he loved zelda (one of the highest post threads here) - he gave lots of good musical advice, a couple of groups to which i'll be forever indebted for to him! - he was a good artist - he had great musical knowledge as evidenced in many many threads - he liked kitty kots >^__^< and despite not always agreeing with him, i WILL MISS HIM and i have a huge lump in my throat and tears in my eyes...... now something i DIDN'T know about him: - HE WAS BRAVE!!!!!! Rest In Peace FRIEND! =/ |
||||||||

Hey everyone, its me again. Yes, that was the article in my local paper... He was an amazing, brilliant person- it is a shame no one here was ever able to meet him in person. Anyone wishing to send the Klau's a note, they would very much appreciate it. ( They know little about all the people gabe touched over the internet and through letter, i have been trying to bring all his long distance relationships to light). their address is: ( i dont know the housenumber- but it will get there without it.) Morely Road Ashville, NY 14710 His parents names are Jeff and Joyce, his brothers Jake and Levi I am in the process of archiving all his artwork in high quality scans. Those of you who have seen his pencil drawings know he was an amazing artist. At somepoint I will put them online so others on the list can see. Im sorry I wasnt able to post about this sooner, but ive been in pretty terrible shape, not to mention my computer not working and getting into a car accident. As orphecks said- gabe recently got his computer back, and was waiting for his new DSL line to start working. I am sure he was excited to get back in touch with all of you. I will check on this post as often as possible, and dont be afraid to email me. fur@kittymail.com |

"I am sure he was excited to get back in touch with all of you" now that hurts |

''He was an amazing, brilliant person-'' Definitely. I was looking forward to talking to him again... this is heartbreaking. |

take CARE of yourself jay.....i know he was a close friend. now's the time to remember the wonderful, funny things about a person so you don't get too sad...... it helps, i was thinking about his ANIMAL thread, and all his funny associations of peepz and animals, it made me smile! Mush.....please make sure and make a link of his artwork, i was able to see some of it.......others should see it too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

God damn, this is just terrible. He always seemed like a friendly guy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
rest in peace, i liked you a lot you little bugger |

it's at times like these that I think the community here is the strongest, these supposed meaningless posts that he made, that we all probably took for granted, has touched us in a way that makes us feel like he was one of the family, a friend, through nothing else but text, there's no doubting that, to most of us here, there are members that are very important to us, through this messageboard I've gotten to meet a lot of people,.. real friends, and although I didn't know cabbog that much, his death still hits me as hard as someone dying in my family, because this is a family, I've seen this board build up from nothing, I often think "why do these people keep coming back and posting, what entices them to stay online for hours and talk when they could be out with friends or with their OWN family," and now I realise that they ARE spending time with friends and family. this is a sad day for aphextwin.nu |

"dying trying to save another. that is just about the most nobel thing i have ever heard. " several years ago gabe told me that he though the most beautiful thing possible in this world was to lose your life saving another. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I wholeheartedly agree with that. |
||||||||
|

<- avatar tribute. I didn't know him that well, but he always seemed like a really cool guy. This is truly sad, and I know he will be missed. |

"A cabbog is a living cabbage or lettuce with short stumpy feet and coiled tendrils for arms.. They communicate with soft gurgling noises emitted from their bowels. They're also well-known for protecting small woodland animals from beasts of prey. If a shrew or mouse is in danger, they simply nuzzle the cabbog with their noses or paws in which the cabbog will in turn, realizing the urgency of the situation, spread it's succulent leaves offering a temporary safe-haven for the poor creature. After the stowaway is snugly accommodated the cabbog will half-submerge itself in a patch of moist soil where it will stay until the danger passes. Am I cute or what?" |
