I've never met him in real but he and another friend and I played a game together and we spoke daily. He died Wednesday I was told yesterday.
The weird thing is noone seems to get im upset as "he was just online" but we texted and WhatsApp Ed daily and I know about ao much stuff in hai life. His wife was adamant I and our other friend needed to know ASAP she knew how close the 3 of us were and would often what's us play together.
I'm so sad and yet people say bit you didn't really know him. But I feel I did. Thankfully his wife and brother did too and ensured we knew. He had a life limiting disease but we were not expecting him to go for a few years he and his wife only married in December...
