    I know his user name, but can't recall much about him. 28 is too young and only a few weeks before the movie is released :(  I'm sorry for him and his family.

    We had made plans to meet up at the movie premiere. I can't believe it.

    Count me in for the pool.

    Damn, that's just.... it really ruins my day. Shaun seemed a really nice guy and took the ribbing we all gave him very well. I only chatted with him once, and I'm kind of sorry that I didnt' get a chance to do so more often.

    Rest in Peace, Shaun.

    Shaun was a really good sport.

    I'm sure karma will reward him, at least I'd like think so.

    I didn't know him at all, but I read all 17 pages of this thread and I'll be damned if I didn't do this...

    RIP, fellow Transformers fan, Shaun_C. You will be missed by your family, friends and the fandom.

    On top of jumping in the pool, I'm going to have a Diet Coke in his honor.

    We planned on having Diet Cokes at the bar when everyone else was drinking the tough stuff since both of us couldn't drink because of health issues.

    So yes, I will toast him with a Diet Coke before jumping in.

    I just saw and muttered "holy shit" under my breath. Way too young; definitely shouldn't have been his time.

    I don't post here much, but I browse around a lot. It will be odd not seeing his posts around anymore.

    May he rest in peace.

    In the picture... Which person is he? I'm only curious, is all.

    NM: I think he's the one in the middle.

    He must've been feeling ill the last couple of days. His last PM to me (dated 6/11) was pretty garbled. You can make out what he was saying but he never wrote that way. Poor guy must've been really sick the last couple of days.

    I saw his name around on the boards but I barely knew him.

    But it's bittersweet how the internet works.

    And he was so excited to see the movie. He once told me (we had a "conversation" via PMs about the Spider-man movies and Transformers) that the movie was going to be great. I told him "how can you be so sure? I hope it's good, but it can be bad". And then he said that he always knew if he was going to like a movie just by the trailers.

    I'd like to think he's reading the messages.

    R.I.P. Shaun.

    I really didn't know him or talk to him, he did post a lot but beyond that I didn't know much about him. I feel liked I missed out on meeting a good person too...


    His energy is missed already too, the board does feel a bit different without him here now.

    Rest In Peace man, hopefully you'll be rewarded for being such a positive person in the great beyond

    It's not even that I was good friends with him. I wasn't. We only spoke last Botcon, and in discussion threads here.

    It's that we could have been awesome friends somewhere down the line, looking back on all the silly shit that goes on.
