when i hear things like this, at such a young age, it really puts things in perspective for me. i'm not a tiny guy, and i'll be 30 next year. i try to do the best i can to stay healthy, but it does come so sudden.

i feel bad for his family. when its so sudden, its hardest to bare.

he was an inspiration, and now i must continue on with my projects, as if he was still competition. bettering my skill. if anything, if we don't forget his work, his legacy will be eternal.

 

I know i've already posted once in here, but sometimes once is never enough. God Speed TF Master, and as you smile down on the rest of us from your home on high, know that your spirit will guide kitbashers everywhere, not all of us knew you like some of the others, but your work has touched many more people than you may ever know.

God Bless, and my prayers and sympathy go out to the family, Lord I pray you watch over them, comfort them and guide them through this terrible time.

 

Wow. My heart goes out to his family. He was an amazingly talented artist, may he rest in peace.

So young. I only know he was an outstanding kitbasher.
My condolences to his family.

 

I have never had the chance to meet him in person, but I liked looking at his site. I wish his family the best during this really tough time.

 

This is so sad.   My heart goes out to his family and friends.

 

too bad he didn't make to see the movie :/, well I hope that he rest in peace

 

This is a wake up call for me too. I will be sure to make a change. I cannot bear the thought of leaving my 2 boys behind at such a young age.

 

That's a shame. I never got to meet him in person (I stood next to him, but didn't really get to "meet" him), but he did some amazing work. I was really surprised to even place alongside him at last year's BotCon contest. He was truly skilled.

My thoughts are with his family, and I'll definately be donating towards his final expenses to ease their burden.

May Primus, or any other deity he wants, watch over his soul.

 

I honestly don't know how I feel right now.

I've had several relatives die within the last few years. It never had much of an impact on me, because I never really knew them very well. This is different, though. This is the first time I've ever lost someone who was a good friend. I'm kind of sad, a little mad, and really confused.

The worst part for me is that he wanted me to come to Botcon and hang out with him one day. Now that's something that will never happen.

 

I don't know what to say.

At first I couldn't recall seeing him on this board. Then I looked up posts he made and found the thread with the custom Masterpiece SkyWarp. Now I recognized who this man was. He was truly a great man of his craft, capable of acheveing things with his creations through workmanship and skill that we ourselves, could only dream of. The pieces he made astounded us all and we would eagerly await to see his next masterpiece. He, his gifts, and his achievements will be sorely missed. May God bless him and his astounding craft.

Please everyone, keep him and his family in your prayers.

 

I was fortunate enough to have been able to make friends with him at last year's Botcon and was looking forward to seeing him again. I was always a big fan of his work.

You'll be dearly missed Bill and our thoughts are most certainly with your family  

 

This is very sad news indeed, yet another young man departed from this world.


May he rest in peace. God bless his soul.

 

Oh man. That is freaking scary and shocking. He was only 31!

My condolences to his family. He was truly an artist and I could only dream of what he was capable of doing. This is very sad.

RIP TFMASTER.

 

!!!......


absolutely shocking...

and only 31! My prayers sincerely go out for his family.

 

Damnit. I suck, I have no words to say  

 

Damn.....  

My condolences to his wife and son.

Let all of us who attend this year's Botcon raise a glass to a great guy, an excellent friend, and a fine fan.

He will be missed.

Harold Tietjens

 

My condolences to the family.
