[08:27:21] Mr.Taurean: Christoph.
[08:27:21] Mr.Taurean: How be you?
[08:27:26] c|-|r15: Hey there Gabriel!
[08:27:34] c|-|r15: Tired *rubs eyes*
[08:27:37] c|-|r15: :D
[08:27:46] Mr.Taurean: What time is it there? 10 in the
morning?
[08:27:59] c|-|r15: 8.27am
[08:28:21] Mr.Taurean: I should be getting to bed soon.
It's 3:25
here.
[08:28:27] c|-|r15: :-O
[08:28:37] Mr.Taurean: It was my birthday.
[08:29:07] c|-|r15: Really?
[08:29:31] Mr.Taurean: Yes.
[08:29:38] Mr.Taurean: I'm a happy 20 year old boy now.

He enjoyed life, always had the knack of raising a smile on
my face when he showed up online. He was so totally into
Zelda on his Gamecube, I remember how more or less each day,
he'd ask me how far I had progressed with the game....and
would give me sneaky little hints to where things were.

[22:33:55] ChRiS: "Mr.Taurean" what does that mean?
[22:34:15] Mr.Taurean: I'm a taurus. May 16th baybeee!
[22:34:24] ChRiS: :D
[22:34:34] ChRiS: and where did the name Cabbog come from?
[22:36:50] Mr.Taurean: It's a cabbage creature I made for a
children's
book I'm working on.

:) He will be missed big time!

Jeez I was wondering where he got to. I hadn't seen that
bald avatar in a while. I can't say I knew the guy
particularly but from the few exchanges we had I could tell
he was a nice guy with a great sense of homour.

Rest in Peace

Shit... I'm really in shock... he hadn't posted much

huge Current 93 fan like me. And... this. Woah. I can't
think of anything to say. :(

is in order. I'm sure he was eagerly waiting for the site to
be released like the rest of us...

a person who brought out the best in people around him , &

Me again, back from his commital today, which went very
well. ( the funeral started out very well, but then it
turned at the end into something not appropriate.) He has a
beautiful gravestone with a beautiful selfportrait he drew
etched into it. I have his entire portfolio which i hope to
begin scanning, as well as a lot of pictures. Can anyone
here reccomend a good free webspace provider? or have any
extra webspace they are not using?.

i never really talked to him directly on this board, which i
now regret, though, because i do remember him as being a
really kind and interesting person from his posts. i
remember him making me laugh many times with his humorous
posts, and i'm sure many of you feel the same way, even if
you didn't know him personally.
his profile said something like "if you're looking for
sympathy, you've tuned to the wrong channel" that might be
the case ,in a way, on this board, but it definitely was not
how he was in real life, as a person.
that statement was proven wrong by the complete sympathetic
selflessness that he showed in his final actions on this
earth.. it was in his very nature as a person to be
sympathetic, especially during extremely dire situations.
this whole thing is so tragic,.. he is really a hero, and
had a really noble heart.
my condolences to his close friends on this mb, and his
family if they ever read this.
he is truly going to be missed.

"Greater love has no man than he who lays down his life for
his friends."

Cabbog didn't intend to die when he went to help his
brother, but he was probably aware that he was risking his
life. I think it is a very "honourable" death. That's
probably the wrong word, but it's the nearest to the message
I'm trying to convey.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends
(both online and in real life). Very sorry to see you go so
soon in your life. I hope you are at peace now. God bless
you.

Refund: You hit the nail on the head perfectly. We
are family.

w M w: "But I do have some good news. I just saved money on
car insurance by switching to geico."

someone: "You're fucked up to make jokes about this."

w M w: "In his will, he requested that I make this joke to
lighten the situation of his death."

someone: "liar, go to hell."

w M w: "Well, I hope that fall didn't hurt too bad. Fucking
gravity. Why couldn't we have lived on the moon? There have
been many worse deaths, like african grazers getting picked
on and devoured by carnivores all the time. Death is natural
and this reminds everyone of their mortality. It happened
though and if it didn't happen this way it would have
happened some other way, as it will happen to us all. It's
probably best to get out of this crazy time and place of
earth as soon as possible anyway. If it'll cheer you up you
can read "the meme machine" to see that our selves are
perhaps illusions anyway in a massive evolutionary algorithm
that is perfectly capable of unfolding without anyone around
watching.

Gabriel may have wanted us to make light of the situation in
a way, like what you are trying to do.. you probably knew
him much more than i did, but if a printout/email of this
thread is going to be sent to his family, then these type of
posts are kind of inappropriate.

making light of death in general, that can be a good thing,
but that's really not the point of this.. and i don't think
that everyone should feel so bad particularly because of the
way Gabriel passed away, so much, it's just that he
was a very kind and talented individual, and all these posts
here all show this.. the real tragedy is that had his whole
life ahead of him.. from the relatively little i had known
about him, and from what i've learned from this thread, like
that he was a great artist, i know he could have done so
much more with his life..
this is just really sad.... i don't know if making light of
this will help quite yet..
sorry.. that's just my opinion.. i might be wrong, as usual.

oh my god :-(

That is really the most awful thing i heard in a long time.
I was wondering when he'd be coming back online... but now
he won't :-( I can't believe it.

He was such a nice guy. I talked to him alot about
computergames and zelda in particular. And a couple of
weeks/months ago i also sent him a big package with a letter
and copies of my drawings. I was waiting for him to write me
back :-( We had talked about sending drawings back and
forth, i haven't seen much of his work yet but what i saw
was amazing.

fuck... i can hardly believe this is really happening :-(

the full address is:

3796 Morely Rd.
Ashville, New York

I really should write something to his family. This is so
sad. Damnit :'(

surrounded - I remember seeing your letter laying out open
next to his computer. I am sure he was going to be getting
to writing back soon, if he hadn't already started.

What Q4Z2X said is very appropriate;

Simon norris and Steven thrower (members of cyclobe- current
and ex members of Coil and death in june) had been trying to
get gabe to come live with them in London for over two
years. Gabe was very nervous about doing so, he didnt have
the most confidence on his ability to survive on his own,
but i sensed he was about to do it. London is where gabe
needed to be, and it is truly tragic that he never got
there, as he would have become a part of the entire Coil,
Nurse with wound, Current 93 ("england's hidden reverse")
triangle that was so dear to him (and me as well).

he had so much potential, but hadn't quite gotten the
confidence to unleash it yet. He was hoping to leave home
very soon, and he would have blossomed in a new environment.

I can't stop thinking about this :-(
I never thought something like this could affect me so much,
since i've never met him in real life... but it has, it
makes me so sad.

I realise that he has touched me, even though only
with written words, and i just miss him. I hate it that this
is so definitive. He's just gone, forever. I feel like
nacmat... really hoping there is a heaven somewhere where he
went to. A better place. He definitly would have deserved
it.

I wish i would have had time to get to know him better. I
recognised so much in alot of the things he said, i feel
like we could have become really good friends.

Playing the new zelda isn't going to be even half as much
fun without having him around to talk about it.
