For those of you who have john on your Facebook, if you look at his wall and news updates, you will see that he has apparently passed away, supposedly being hit by a car while riding his bike (if you go to the group called RIP etc.). He was overseas in Japan for those of you who didn't know.

Not much more to say and I don't have any more info so I'll just leave it at that.

Edit: Might as well provide the link -- http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=50122521355&ref=nf

Didn't he have a brother who also posted on SG?

If you're thinking of Fei, they just both used Ayanami in their usernames.

I mean, of course this could be a joke, but if it is, he wouldn't be the type to be in on it.

Since I know about 3 people's real names here - we are talking about J0hn right? Seems like I remember him saying something about going to Japan.

My condolences to anyone here that knew him well.

Honestly, I hope this is a hoax and some sick persons idea of a joke. It's a hell of a lot better than the alternative...

Still remember the good times we had owning it up at CoD4.

I remember him as john ayanami, with the Shinji or Asuka avatar. Sad to hear this, though.

On top of the Facebook group, you can find mention of this in a couple of random blogs if you Google his name. Erm

Random idea:

A Rei Ayanami banner as a tribute of sorts? I'm not sure, but I think she was one of his favorite characters. XD

The last time I spoke with him he explained an old situation to me very clearly, truthfully, and politely. I respected him greatly for that. It's a damn shame I'll never see him again but it's a good last memory to have of him.

He could be that way, but I also remember him getting a little pissy sometimes, in particular with Himuro. Laugh

This is incredibly depressing. I remember the old SG days with John. For a group of people on the internet I think we're all fairly close. It hurts losing one of the family. Cry

I didn't know him personally either, but as long as I've posted here and especially SG, he was always a familiar name. It is horrible to hear about this news.

Jesus H. This is unreal.

His posting history with us.

This is fucked up, I knew him from the fucking 90s. Dude was a big part of our gang even though he took long posting breaks, when he came back it was just like he never left.

Just shocking news.

I can't imagine the living hell his family must be going through. It's unthinkable to loose a child but to have it happen in an overseas foreign country...

Hopefully whatever organization he was with in Japan is accommodating the bereaved.
