Please let them know that he was a respected and well liked poster. My condolences to them. 
can’t someone try contacting him and ask, and if he isn’t RIP he would probably answer?
This is tragic if true. I never got to know him, but just looking at his profile, he seemed like a really interesting guy
I found his facebook pretty easily, and it’s all over it from his friends. So, if it’s a hoax, it’s taken in a lot of people.
I’m not going to post it her for obvious reasons, just in case it does turn out to be a hoax, but if I can find it, anyone can.
And it seems like he had just posted on FB today, too. I wonder what happened. Poor guy, poor family.
I didn’t see anything but his last post from 23 hours ago?
This is beyond shocking. Tdn please post more info and find out if you can find a place to send a card.
I liked him a lot. 
“I am sad to say, this morning my best friend and long term-acquaintance, [real name deleted], whom many of you know, passed away unexpectedly. Those of you who were lucky enough to meet John know how unique, energetic, and entertaining he was. He will truly be missed.”
Usually it’s old guys reminding young guys how fragile life can be. Sometimes though it works the other way… and when it does it ain’t worth a damn. 28 is way too young. My condolences to all who knew him.
Same here.
I liked him. He was funny.
I am very saddened to hear this - Autolycus was a wonderful fellow. I always read his posts with interest and usually a chuckle.
Good-bye, you snapper-up of unconsidered trifles.
I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you’ll let his family know that he’ll be missed by a lot of people they may not even know about.
Equipise, thank you for helping me meet this fanatasic friend. If it weren’t for you, I never would have discovered my across-the-street buddy.
It’s stilll so wieid. The guy slept on my futon for two nights. And bought me meals for it.
Is there some way to see someone’s wall on their Facebook profile? Because like some others, all I’ve found is his post on there from yesterday. I’d like to add my condolences to his page if that’s possible.
I think I found his Facebook but there’s nothing from his friends at all. Is he in Japan or the US right now?
Auto was one of the best internet friends I had. He PMed me two days ago, asking if I was okay because of some RL issues I’m having. I kept putting off answering the PM, and I sat down just now to let him know everything is OK and thank him for his support.
I feel awful. Rest easy Autolycus.
Well, shit. One of the good ones. Please pass on my condolences, tdn.
He will be missed.
This is so sad.
Condolences to his friends and his family and everyone who knew him, he was smart and nice and one of our stalwarts. Big hugs to tdn and everyone who had him closer.
Damn. Way too young. My condolences to his friends and family.
