This is where this thread shall go, for this is where he would want it. Moderators, please keep it here.
It is with deepest apologies that I come to you today to make this announcement.
On the afternoon of Monday, December the 13th, Brian Michael Tracey passed away, resulting from a seizure. Medical attempts to revive him were unsuccessful, as when he was found by his roommate, he wasn't breathing.
Better known on Gaia as Lord Shishio, Brian was a friend to all who knew him and made a huge impact on many lives. To some, he was a brother. There to fight and joke around all in the same breath. To others, he was a best friend. Always up for late night anime watching or long bouts of multiplayer gaming. And to those who needed him, he was a rock. There with support and encouragement, and able to listen when you felt no one else would.
Nothing will ever fill the void left by his passing. But Brian wouldn't want us to make this a spectacle. He wouldn't want us going out of our way to make this all extravagent just to honor his memory.
Remember him for who he was. For what memories you have of him. Brian was not an icon. He was not an item.
Condolences can be sent to his family & friends at:
-address removed-
Shishio was not known for off topic tirades, so please keep that in mind and keep idle chatting to a minimum. Thank you.
EDIT: Tonight, (12/17/04) I stopped by Brian's parents' home. While his parents were still away, his aunt was there to pass along to me this information, which I now share with all of you.
The school that Brian was attending down in Phoenix is building a library, and they are going to name it after him. Brian Michael Tracey, a writer at heart, is getting a library. I cannot think of anyone more deserving. The dedication will take place some time in July.
I was also told that his dean and teachers had been going on about what an amazing and gifted writer he was. And it's true, he was.
And Brian? If you can see this, I want you to know. Your friends are going to make sure that one day, that library will contain your published works. We are going to do everything we can to make your dream come true. You WILL be published, Brian. We will see to that.
