JIZZLORD Memorial Thread

Konata · 12-09-2010 10:11AM #1

As many of you may know by now, a special boardsie - JIZZLORD - passed away at the age of 23 on Thursday.

I've known Colm for a fair few years now - us both being from the same hometown, it was an inevitable encounter. The most important thing I can emphasize about him is his genuine niceness - I don't think there was a bad bone in his body. He was quiet and often shy but once you got chatting to him, he'd have you in stitches

On boards, he was a well known poster - often if only for his epic username :P I've heard that he was quite active on the boards IRC in the past and I'm sure many remember him from there.

It's a terrible tragedy to hear of people dying so young - and this really hits home when it's someone close to you. I can only extend my deepest sympathies to Colm's family, friends and anyone who has been lucky enough to cross paths with him.

RIP Colm, you will be sorely missed by all

OP, can it be shared what took him? or is it a private matter?

God rest him, and my condolences to all of you who knew him.

Although the cause of death has not been officially established yet, I believe that Colm had an epilectic fit and died from complications arising from that.

I still can't get my head round this.

RIP Colm.

DOC09UNAM · 12-09-2010 10:36AM

I didn't know him at all but from what i've read here and in the galway forum he seemed like a top class bloke

R.I.P Colm

Yeah sweet guy. Only met him a few times but was very nice.
RIP.

AckwelFoley · 12-09-2010 10:47AM

I was chatting him at the beers a few years back and we were discussing our mutual affection for bears

Anyhow, i remember asking him what part of england he was from.. he swiftly told me he wasnt english

He spoke with such a soft voice that it, to me kinda was like english.

Nice guy.. im kinda sickened by this..

galwayrush · 12-09-2010 10:53AM

Never met him, but know the user name well from Boards. Shocked to hear he's dead, and at 23 :eek:. Shocking. R.I.P.

Mint Sauce · 12-09-2010 10:59AM

Never met Colm myself, but remember the posts here on afterhours, from reading the Sligo and Galway threads he was clearly loved, a great character, and will be missed.

Just shows you never know when your going to go, live every moment.

Condolonces to his Family, friends and everyone who knew him.

RIP

At times like this, it really puts into perspective our petty squabbles here on Boards.ie and in broader life.

Such a tragedy at such a young age.

Daisy Steiner · 12-09-2010 11:08AM

Thanks for posting Hotaru.

Sincere condolences to his family, friends and acquaintances.

So very sad.

Link to the funeral arrangements, for anyone who might be interested in attending.

RIP Colm.

Also it shows the friendships that have come about due to boards, years ago people would think you'd be half mad to meet a stranger from the internet but a saying I heard a long time ago, "A stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet" I never knew the man but I have read the posts here, from people that have met him and others that knew him through his posts and it goes to show the impact you can have on someones life without even knowing it.
May he rest in peace and sincere condolences to Colm's family and friends.
