I realize that the majority of you will not recognize who I'm talking about with this post. But I had a friend named Josh, and I found out yesterday that he died last year. Josh was part of FFW in its earliest days to around 2014. Before that, he was part of the last efed I ran called EWC, which closed a few months before I opened FFW. Last night as I write this, I learned that he passed away. I had no idea, and what's worse is it happened in April over a year ago.
In this fed, he primarily played two characters. One in FFW named after two cars, and another in Future Shock. After he left this hobby around 2014, I lost track of him and didn't hear from him again. But I've known him for over a decade at this point, and even though I hadn't spoken with him in a while, the loss still hit me. I never thought I'd see one of my former players pass away, certainly not at his age. While we didn't always agree on everything, I have a hard time thinking about anyone I did agree on everything with. I'm not sure that exists.
The point of this post, even though I know most of you won't know who I'm talking about, is to remind us what a small community this is. To possibly give a thought to that friend you had sometime back, but haven't talked to in a long while. I regret that I didn't check in with Josh, and only hope he felt like he accomplished everything he wanted before he died. He left behind two children and a wife.

Here's to you, Josh.
