I bring very sad news

[Fall_Child42]

I didn't get to chat with him as much as I would have liked.

But I am proud to have been able to call him my friend.

He was an amazing person and with all this stuff going on in his life he still managed to keep his spirits up and be full of life and humor.

I'm going to try to not be so damn depressed, and now I'll have to dance (and drink) for the two of us.

[Mamo!]

Rest in peace, Magnus. You will be greatly missed.

Goodbye, Magnus. I will miss you and I am sure everyone here will. You were a great person and it's a sad moment today. Rest in peace.

My first instinct right now is to be angry and upset and bitter. And maybe that's okay in a situation like this. But at the same time, a big part of me is saying to focus on the fact that he never let his condition bring him down. He was always a fighter and always an intensely bright human being. To say "life is unfair" and "he was too young" and "why do awful things happen to great people" are all justifiable, but all I really want to do is give him a hug and tell him he'll be sorely missed... My heart is exceptionally heavy right now but I want to send my condolences, thoughts and prayers to his family. There is no greater pain than losing a child and I can't even begin to imagine what his parents are going through right now.

We'll all miss the hell out of you Magnus. It was a sincere honor to know you and call you a friend.

RIP Magnus... I didn't know you, but I admir your courage. You will be missed.

Magnus always had such a positive outlook on life and the determination to beat his cancer. I didn't know him that well personally, but I was inspired by his will to live and I would have loved to hang out with him at a con.

He went down fighting and we will always remember his legacy.

Another one of us falls. Knowing that it would be coming doesn't really help though. I will miss his work and his pictures that had a way to brighten up my day.

He will be missed.

Ouch. Just ouch. Zetzu was an editor after my own heart. I was especially found of his simple, romantic videos like his Bokura ga Ita video, Our Farewell, which I am playing in memorial now...

Here's to you, dude.

I can't say I spoke with Magnus often, but whenever he did, I was astounded by how generous and easygoing he was. It's very clear that he touched the lives of many people, and it's an honour to call him a friend.

His outlook was nothing short of inspiring, and I wish that I could claim to have even a fraction of his courage and strength.

He will be dearly missed.
