    Wait what?
    1 month ago he said he was going to die in 5 months...
    Why not later?

     

    RIP Merbo.

    edit: further information required. disregard that

    I...
    I just wanted to say goodbye.
    It was a privilege and a pleasure knowing Merbo.
    Never did he seem sick or schizophrenic the times we played TF2 or Mercraft together. It takes a lot out of someone to hide being terminal this well, to not fall into a deep depression, to stay happy and energetic in the face of uncertainty as well as the fatalistic knowledge that the end is coming and fast.
    This very forum post is an example that shows how much of an effect internet friendships can have on people.
    Rest in peace, Ethan.
    We'll miss you.

    man the reaper's knocking on his door and he just laughs it off like a badass.
    RIP Merbo, ill think of you the next time i masturbate.


    I also just want to point out how incredible it is that there's also a tribute post for him on Reddit.
    People offering condolences.
    Drawing portraits of him as a crazy cancer patient holding a butterfly knife.

    I spent a whole summer playing Mercraft with him, boxmein, BudCharles and occasionally FF50 and wolfmitchell. Best summer ever. I didn't even get to say goodbye since I thought he still had a few months left. The only memory of his voice was when I was playing TF2 with him and he kept saying "memes". I miss him. I've missed him for 3 months up until now too. Bye Merbo.

    Even though I didn't know him much,I'll never forget the first thing I saw him say

    [21:31] <Merbo> when you eat a chick out while she's taking a dump it's called a ________

    or one of his last quotes

    <Merbo> HAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS

    It's amazing how he was cracking jokes and trolling even in his final days.

     

    RIP Merbo
