Everyone here, myself included, has had thoughts on him ranging from The Greatest Ranger to That Showboating Jerk and everything in between and beyond.

But knowing he's gone, is... like a chunk of the night sky has gone out. Or say that you've spent years living on the same street, and there's this big house out on the corner, visible from just about everywhere near by. You don't know who, if anyone, lives in it, you don't know who owns it, but it's always just been there. And one day you leave that street, move away. And then, years later, you come back, and that big house is gone. You don't know how, or why, and none of that really matters because the fact is that it was there, and now it's not, and now your whole world feels empty because you remember so clearly that it was there.

That's where I'm at. The world just feels emptier now, however I felt about him. I just hope he's at peace now.

Very very well said, and how I feel as well. I also feel sorrow for those who knew him closest, his family and friends. And in a lot of ways I'm sad for those who were fans of his work, which pretty much encompasses this community.

Cannot stress enough, check in with those you haven't heard from in a while, ask questions if needed, but listen when they need an ear. Remember there are resources like 988, and other networks. You don't have to take on that load for others, but sometimes even just knowing someone is looking out for you is enough to pull back from the brink.
