Hi,

I searched around and didn't see this mentioned, so my apologies in advance if this is just bringing up bad memories.

Some of you may have known Dizfactor (Brendan) he used to be really active in this community. We even met some of you when we visited England a few years ago.

If you hadn't heard he has died recently. (From a car crash, on September 20th.) I know he hadn't really been around, but I thought that some of the people on these boards might want to know.

Thanks,

Megan (his girlfriend)

Oh shit. Not much more to add, other than RIP Diz.

Fuck.

Well, that fucking sucks. I'm very sorry for you Pop, that's a terrible thing to deal with.

Very sorry to hear this. My sympathies, POP.

A car crash? That is awful.

So long Diz. Please be at peace.

Och.

Diz wasn't very active on the barbe most of the time I was about, but is actually one of those posters from when I joined, that for whatever reason, I always remembered.

Deepest condolences, for what it's worth.

Eek! A Freek!

15:09 / 22.11.08

I'm afraid that I had never read any of his posts. Doesn't mean I'm not sorry for your loss. My sympathies.

You are in my thoughts, dizfactor.

Thanks for taking the time to let people here know, too. It's horrible news, but it's really nice that you came here to tell us.

Shit. I'm really saddened by this. I had irregular contact with Brendan via PMs and we'd had some really interesting chats, irregularly spread out over a number of years. Really, really bad news. Thanks for taking the time to tell us, Megan. I hope you are as well as you can be in dealing with all this.

That's very sad. I always enjoyed Diz's posts - a thoughtful interesting member of the 'Lith.
Condolences to you Megan.

I always enjoyed them too. He was cool and very insightful.

Sorry. x

I'm very sorry, Megan. I hope that you have people who are taking good care of you.

Megan, really sorry to hear that. Like everyone else, I hope that you are taking care of yourself and that you are surrounded by people who can help you.

That's terrible. He was such a sweet, smart guy.

The Natural Way posting as me above.

Really sad about this. RIP, Diz.

illmatic

18:07 / 23.11.08

To add to the above, I'm doubly saddened now that I never got to meet Brendan when he was over. I'll commemorate him somehow.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you are doing as well as can be expected at this time.

Thinking of you guys.

He was a good one.

If you need anything, POP, let us know.

Diz was definitely a good egg and will be missed.

All the best to you in these times, Megan.

Oh... I'm sure the Falcon can speak for himself, but he expressed considerable remorse over emailage at the weekend

That's terrible news. My condolences for your loss.

I'm really sad to hear this. Thanks for letting Barbelith know Megan, and take care. Diz was a good un.

Triplets

14:11 / 25.11.08

That's awful. As someone said above, he didn't post much by the time I joined but he was always one of the posters you remembered anyway. You could tell he was one of the good ones. The biggest condolences, M.

What a bummer. I remember Diz being one of the really solid and thoughtful members of the board back when I was still relatively active. Thanks for let us know, Megan. He certainly had friends here, and has been missed. I know I'll miss him all the more now that I know that he won't be returning.

My condolences,

Thanks Boboss.

You know, it's just words on a screen and so on to me, but I always thought Diz was very much a lively, kind, sparky persona... thank you for taking the time to bring us this awful news, Megan. My heart breaks for you and I only hope it is a tiny glimmer of comfort to see how highly-regarded your boyfriend was by us all. Please be well.

Megan, I'm so sorry. Will be in touch via other means.

I'm so sorry. Just seen this today as I haven't been online much recently. I met both of you when you were over here a few years back, and we went for late curry somewhere in Soho. I hope you have friends around who are looking after you.
