Jason_Els has left the building. RIP.

[fortiesfun]

I will miss Jason very much, but realize how much of an impact he made here by the number of responses in such a short time. He was a fine man.

This just sucks. Nick, I'm sure having you there helped Jason out immensely. You are an angel. RIP Jason. You'll be missed by many of this board.

 

[B_starinvestor]

Dammit.

Very sorry, Nick.

 

[BIGBULL29]

I'm in shock...

I personally met Jason in NYC the other year. He was an incredible person. I thought the world of him. I can't believe this!

Nick, take care of yourself. You're an amazing person.:wink:

 

[slurper_la]

Very sad news indeed. May he rest in peace and may God bless you Nick for being a good friend in his time of need.

 

[Onslow]

One of, if not, the sweetest soul I've ever met on the Internet. You're going to be missed Jason more than any words can say. Thank you eternally for having allowed us your presence, charm and humor.

And thank you Nick for taking time to be with him in these last days and letting us know what was going on.

I'd wriite more if it weren't for the damned tears.

 

[Nrets]

Even though I never personally talked to him, this leaves me feeling heavy. The world seems lonelier knowing I wont be reading Jason's posts anymore.

I am so deeply saddened to hear this.

Condolences to all family and friends

 

[BIGBULL29]

I would like to get together with some of the Meet-n-Greeters in the next month.

I feel so bad and sick to my stomach...

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.


I wish I could have known him better.

 

[unabear09]

oh wow! I am truly heartbroken. When I first came to this site and was trying to figure out who I was, he always had something positive and meaningful to say. He was an extremely intelligent, caring, and compassionate individual, who I will miss.

Rest in peace my friend

 

[Mem]

Another debt of gratitude that I feel towards Jason is my friendship with Bbucko. I was just going through old PMs and saw this one from Bucko:
If you ever want to meet up for a drink, call me. Jason thinks the world of you, and I think the world of him. I also later met Lex, it seems if Jason put out a good word about you, you were golden.

I called Bucko in case he hadn't heard the news, but he had. I am going to pick him up later for a short ride and drop him off at work, I feel the need to go out instead of sitting here and staring blankly at a computer screen.

Thanks to Nick8 for being an angel and please send out love and condolences to his family.

What a beautiful tribute. You really captured the essence of the man.

I appreciate that, BigD. I'm still feeling hollow right now and it doesn't seem like anything I could say would be enough. But thank you.

 

[BIGBULL29]

Jason was one of the most intelligent people I ever met. He was also one of my favorite people to chat with - a true conversationalist.

Things will never be the same on here.

Jason and I went to the Eagle in NYC on Foot Fetish Night the other year. Neither of us was interested, but we had a hell of a time. I could talk to him about anything. I wish I got to see you a second time like I promised. I never did...sorry...

I love you, Jason!:smile: You were the best!!!

Matthew, I would have to say the same. But then you are also another class act.

 

[B_Nick8]

I'm sorry you guys, I'll try not to get too teary or self-indulgent. But here's where Jason and I first met after I'd admired his posts from afar but been too afraid to approach him. I was a nervous newbie.

Glad to have you here Nick8. May you have many more.

Now come to the NYC meeting on the 14th! :biggrin1:

We will definitely have a memorial Meet and Greet. He would absolutely want that. In fact, knowing Jason, he'd insist upon it.

 

[B_New End]

Oh no. I thought this thread was announcing he left the forums.
He was a good man, and very thoughtful. It's a shame that mind of his isn't here with us anymore.

R.I.P.

Absolutely!

Nick, you are an angel. God bless you!:wink:
