It's taken me some time to get here myself, so much to say .... 🤷♂️
I first met Z online here when he returned to the forum 2 or 3 years ago after a very long hiatus. Strangely enough, we connected on so many levels, I felt like I had literally found a brother. Long story short, we spent countless hours chatting on slack or whatever the medium of the week was. We finally ended up meeting last year around this time in the UK for CoinFestUK. We spent the better part of a week hanging out and partying like rock stars in Manchester with a few different and awesome people from our collectibles group.
To say he was a nice guy is nowhere near proper - He was a fine gentlemen who would give you the shirt of his back if he needed to. And I don't mean mine, I mean anybody. He also had one of the best senses of humor you could ever ask for. One of those people that are the life of the party, someone that everyone seemed to want to be around.
I never got to speak to him again since ~July of last year. I will always regret not being able to talk to him again after that. I still feel like I have so much to tell him, but on the other hand, I truly hope he is in a better place with no more worries and pain. 🙏
Lastly, Zepher - As we always said, "Friends till the end". I hope to see you again next time, that's for certain.
Rest in peace my brother. 🚀
