LobsterMobster

Pages

I'm sorry to say that Adam (LobsterMobster) passed away this weekend. He had been battling brain cancer for some time and in the last few weeks his condition considerably worsened.

He will be greatly missed.

(edit- gofundme links re-added)

From Adam's family -

For those who wish to show their support, we are still facing a mountain of medical bills for his care and treatment. Anything that you can offer will help. Donations beyond what are needed to cover his expenses will be shared with the Regional Hospice of Danbury, a truly wonderful place that gave him such excellent care and treated him with such dignity, like a person, not a patient.

GoFundMe for Adam

The worst, but we can help!

Thanks for the heads up Richy. Definitely have missed his presence, and happy to give what I could right now.

dropped a donation in the bucket. This sucks.

Donated.

Best wishes and prayers for all the strength and support you could possibly need, LM!

Donated, wish it could be more.
Good luck Lobster!

Best wishes. Very sad to hear.
Added a donation. Feels like a drop in the ocean, but of course it wont fill if we don't try.

Kick cancer's ass Lobster!

Donation made.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. LM is a good egg.

Thanks for letting us know, Richy. Time to help a fellow GWJer!

Also, f*ck cancer!

I won't share details because it is his story to tell but LM has had a truly sh*tty run with this disease. Despite this he has held remarkably strong, pushing on as best he can.

On top of everything else, being American, even an insured one, certainly hasn't done him any favors on the financial side of things.

Thank you for pointing us to this Richy, I had put forth the suggestion of asking the community here for help a few times and last we talked he was maintaining a stance of 'if it comes to that', I think it's safe to say it has.

LM, if you're still checking in, please let these fine folks be of aid to you and yours. As always, feel free to hit me up if you want or need to chat with a co-patient.

f*ck cancer.

I don't have a gofundme account. Can I piggyback on someone else's donation? Give me your paypal details and I will chip in (and pay the fee).

You shouldn't need one to start the process, just go to the link and click donate now then fill out the info.

I'm not comfortable signing up with them, but I've always been a bit prickly about signing up to anything really. I want to donate to Lobster but I also want to limit spreading my details around more than is necessary.

EDIT

Just to reiterate, this my quirk and I don't want to dissuade other people from donating. I hope he raises all the money and then some.

Pretty much just name and email.

Yep, just name, email address, and your payment method.

There isn't enough foul language to express how upsetting this news is. Let's get those donations going!

FUC* you CANCER! Leave our peeps alone!
I threw some into the pot so LM can kick it in the balls!

Wow that really sucks. I am sad now.

He's shared some details but I can't recall where that was.

Regardless, he keeps fighting, which is awesome though wearying beyond my comprehension.

Donated.

I don't know LobsterMobster well, but I remember him as being one of the most active community members here years ago when I was just a lurker.

RichyRambo, thanks for sharing this to give the community the opportunity to help.

oh no!

I'm running on fumes cash-wise until the end of the month, but soon as my student loan starts paying out I'll throw something his way.

Donated, from the other thread (it's the FU Cancer one, if people are interested).

Will donate tonight!

Lobster was I think one of the first people I interacted with here on the forum. I'm sad to hear about this.

This makes me sad.. hoping we all chip in a bit and help out.

I have opened and closed the donate box half-a-dozen times and always stare at the comment field while fighting which part of the confused mess of emotions to give a voice.
LobsterMobster is one of the few GWJers I have played online games with during the time where I was doing that. By the Introvert socially-awkward transitive properties of the Internet, that makes him one of my best friends. Which he probably doesn't know.
Unless he reads this.

I'm right there with you.

Such sad news. :(. I hope he kicks cancer in the ass! Heading over to donate to the cause... Hang in there LM and get better!!

Double post/double the sadness

Donated what I could. Wish you the best Lobster.

Jesus H. Christ, I had NO IDEA this was going on.

Donating as soon as my paycheck clears.
