Sad news indeed. Rest in peace Mete.

 

[Snaketibe]

I didn't know him, but it's always sad to hear about the passing of a fellow collector. Rest in peace.

Very sad news I actually remember him posting not that long ago once I spotted the name. He seemed a nice guy.

Rest in Piece Mete,

Didn't know Mete personally, but oddly it feels like I did, such was his presence in the community - RIP

He passed away just this past Thursday If anyone who knew him wants to send a donation to his wife there is a gofundme page: https://www.gofundme.com/loveformete

I'm still in shock, he was just 36 years old and a father of two amazing kids.

Really really sad news. It brings everything once again back into perspective. Cherish those you love guys.

 

[kvavik]

Devastating news. I've spoken to Mete regulary for the last years and were planing on meeting up. He shared his joy and knowledge of collecting and was always there if I needed advice.

Rest in peace my friend.

Tragic news and a guy with a name we all knew, even if we didn't know him personally.

Can't imagine what his wife and kids are going through. Thoughts are with them

I didn't know him, but it's always sad to hear about the passing of a fellow collector. Rest in peace.

RIP Mate.

Holy ****!!! I have spoken with Mete oodles of times over the years about bootlegs and am completely shocked by this. I only chatted with him a few months ago...

What happened?

Rest in peace buddy. You were a great help to me mate and I am very sad bu this news.

Never heard about him, but may he RIP

 

[weasel]

I knew the name from seeing him post on various boards but I'm not sure I ever spoke to him. Never nice to see a fellow collector pass away.

RIP.

Another glowing sabre

So sad to hear this. Mete was a good guy and I remember him from the forums. Such a sad day for all who knew him.

RIP buddy.

Very sad news , he was also involved in an accident last year , a very tough time for his family

RIP

 

[jedi_masters]

Very sad news and especially at such a young age.

The money raised will never fill the gap left in his wife and childrens life but just shows how a community pulls together when tough times happen.

Nearly $30,000 in 6 days is a wonderful gesture.

So sad when you see guys posting about the hobby we are all so involved in and then they are gone

36 is no age :!: A total tragedy

What the hell happened to him :?: :?:
