Oh no! May his soul rest in peace. I pray comfort for his family and all the OFC folks who will no doubt be shaken by this news. My deepest condolences.

It's really a very very sad news!!
I was lucky to met him in 2007 and I remember a so kind guy.

Well crud....
A bad week just got worse.
Slipkid encouraged me to take over the calendar project when he and DesignZilla had to step back. Every time I'm working on the newest one, I always remember how helpful his advice was when I started.
Rest in peace Brad. May choirs of angels bring you winging home!

It was a pleasure knowing him, and a greater honor sharing a stage. May his family find comfort in how many people's lives were enriched by him. RIP Slip.

Damn! That's probably not appropriate, but I can't help it. He was one of the best friends I never met. We were always going to get together "someday".

I just read the manifesto. I WISH I had read it the day I joined here before ever posting anything. I jumped in head first, bringing the spirit of another forum I've been a member of for 10 years. The atmosphere at that forum is a wide open free for all. Brad's manifesto hopefully would've shown me I was at a different place requiring more than just a modicum of behavior modification. For that I apologize. It's always a sad day when someone passes way too young who had so much more to offer. I'm on another forum that had two suicides in the brief time I've been there. In case anybody is wondering what kind of sites I frequent, it's a men's health forum. For everyone who has just lost a personal friend in Slipkid, sincerest condolences for your loss. I watched a few youtube videos of him performing a long time ago and was impressed with him then. Obviously he was a big presence here whose absence will long be felt. RIP.

I tried for years to get him to come out to ski at Sun Valley, which we had each done when we were kids. I gave up, figuring that he quit skiing for reasons that were much less serious. This may be another one of those weekends for reliving memories, which, as Bill's song says, happens too often these days.

Wow this leaves me kinda speechless. I met him for the first time last year at NAMM. Funny thing was I was just wondering last week if he was coming this year.
I am at least glad to say I met you Brad. We had some good laughs last year and you were fun to hang with. I am so sorry to hear of this. My condolences to his family.
