Justin Rollins of Shining Fingers Studio passed away

It's very cool to see that a lot of you were touched by Roll. I'm going to try and upload and release vids that he hasn't put on the org if I can get a hold of them. From some of the screen names, I know I've met some of you in Dallas at A-kon. I too will be editing.

Damn. I never got to meet the guy but my condolences.

Oh man, I really hate cancer :/

This is terrible to hear, I never knew he was sick. He made great videos and always seemed like a very positive guy. I really hope that's the way he's remembered.

I'm at a loss for words upon hearing this shocking news .... Shining Fingers Studios have always been one of the strongest supporters for us at A-Kon. While I never really knew Justin, it was always cool to meet him when I did. "Roll the Stampede" was such an iconic name that I will miss his presence in this community. I like the idea of a "tribute" video, as Vlad proposes, because I have not seen very many of them dedicated to members of this community. I'm sure we would be honored to show one at A-Kon next year.

I knew of him more than I knew him, but still sad news.

The same goes for me. I knew his legacy on the org, but I never had the opportunity to meet him, let alone speak with him online. It's very sad to hear of his passing. He sounded like a great person.

RIP RolltheStampede

He may be gone, but his legend will live on forever.

Rest in Peace, Roll the Stampede.

wow, RolltheStampede was such a familiar name to hear at cons.

I give my regards.

I heard the news of his passing after seeing the end of AMV Hell 5.

I'm not much of a poster here, but I visit the org a lot to check out AMVs, especially Azumanga Daioh related AMVs. I noticed Roll's Azumanga DIE-OH vids and they inspired me to create my own AzuDaioh shorts for my local convention. I also enjoyed his works in the AMV Hell series, especially the Negi short, since I am a huge Negima fan (and still am)

I don't know him personally, but I might as well dedicate my last AzuDaioh short AMV that I made for my local convention, that I made recently, to him, since his work and his other works motivated me to make my own AzuDaioh shorts (even though I believe they are not on his same level, but I try).

R.I.P. and condonlences to his family
