Frank, formerly known as This Year’s Model and a former moderator passed away after a fight with lung cancer. Announced here.

ETA:

Frank (This Year's Model) has left us.

I heard from our old friend bibliophage this afternoon. Frank, Doper and former Moderator, lost his battle with lung cancer over the summer. Frank was always a very private person and so perhaps chose not to share so much, though he did tell us when he was starting chemo. Apparently it did not last very long. He was a devoted member of The Teeming Millions, going all the way back to 2002 when he first joined us. It didn’t take long for him to become one of our moderators. He served until…

chacoguy has passed

It has been reported on giraffeboards that SDMB user chacoguy has passed. I have been unable to confirm his passing, but if we get more information I will update this thread and the thread title. Edit: This has been confirmed in the newspaper article referenced in post #2 of this thread. Also according to the folks over at giraffeboards, a gofundme has been set up (by his daughter?) to raise money for his final expenses. The giraffeboards thread where this was reported is here: http://www.…

MonkeyMensch has passed away: https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=858971&styleid=12

ETA:

Godspeed, MonkeyMensch

My brother Pat, known hereabouts as MonkeyMensch, died earlier today. He had glioblastoma multiforme*. As he pointed out, if you get to choose which cancer you’re going to get, this is NOT the one to pick. I know he really enjoyed the time he spent reading and contributing to the SDMB. He’s the reason I was a long time lurker here. In real life Pat was smart, and funny, and inquisitive, and knowledgable, and fun to be around. He will be missed by me and my siblings and, I suspect, by anyone th…

R.I.P. buddha_david

I am buddha_david’s brother, and I have sad news to share. He passed away two weeks ago, less than one month before his 51st birthday. He had been sharing his ordeal with you in this thread. The side effects to his breathing that he described in his last post to this thread unfortunately got worse, to the point that he couldn’t sit up in his bed without taking several minutes to catch his breath. When he had his appointment with his oncologist on June 20, his blood oxygen level was so low th…

Long time member and 99er rjk passed away.

ETA:

Long time member, infrequent poster rjk has died.

I don’t know how many people here will know him, but he did post here. We met on this board in 2000, at the first Vegas Dopefest. He embodied much of what is good on this board - intelligent, a wide variety of interests, and a twisted sense of humor. But especially, a great, accepting, and kind heart. Thank you to Cecil Adams and this board for bringing us together - he was the best thing in my life. The 18 years I had with him are by far the best years of my life.

Long time member kopek has passed away.

Doper Kopek (has passed)(Ruble in the MMP) edited title

This is Mrs. Kopek (Ruble in the MMP) with some serious news. I don’t usually post on these boards (except in the celebrity death pools) but I wanted to let you know that Kopek is in the cardiac intensive care unit in critical condition. I can’t go through the whole story right now, but he had an as-yet undetermined cardiac incident around 3:30 this morning and the paramedics and ER doctors had a hard time restarting his heart and breathing (numerous times). He is currently fully sedated, plu…
