Bitcointalk user Joerii passed away...

[joker_josue]

Of course this is sad news for his family, relatives and anyone who knew him. I never knew Joerii - so I don't know much about him. Some users like joker_josue, coupable, dragonvslinux seem to have often deal with Joerii - so I think he is a well-known user too.

Yes, I remember working with him on one or two signature campaigns.
It's sad news, he seemed like a good person to me. Someone serious, friendly, understanding, and lively.

My condolences go out to his family and close friends! I hope they get the right consolation.

I worked with him on the last signature campaign he ran a few years ago, and we communicated several times via private messages. I remember that he was very understanding and funny, which is what encouraged me to leave a positive review on his profile. He can be considered one of the few members who joined the forum early and did not leave until death. Thanks to him for all the support he has provided over the years and his contribution to making the forum a healthy space.
He died at a young age, as he appears in the photo, and the donation campaign on gofundme does not give good indications of his condition before his death and the condition of his family. I hope he rests in peace and his family is safe after his death.

It's always sad when we hear of a fellow forum member passing away. I have never been a part of any campaign ran by this user. I'm glad to hear the family is getting some of the help they need through the gofundme. My condolences also go out to the family.

[tabas]

I don't know him but having to pass leaving your loved ones is more painful for him.
Even we don't know him personally, I know that most of us are feeling the same when someone passes away. Most dads here are feeling the same and we can't imagine of the what ifs out there but I'll just leave it there and won't continue.
RIP Joerii.

He went missing august 30th and his body was found september 2nd.

This line of statement makes it more pitiable . It seems his death was mysterious and full of misery 💔.
Whenever I hear the news of somewhat a young person, I am always bittered. Happy to see that the GoFund is getting attention.

There is another thing that needs attention. And that is his private keys. I believe he made a provision that his family will get access to his private keys. Being a legendary member of this forum, gives a likeliness that he might own bitcoin before his death.

Sometimes I do feel sad seeing that someone was an active member here and all of the sudden illness came and the next the person is gone forever and will never come back again, that's why today we that are living aren't meant to take things of life very important and so highly as one day the alerm would surely ring. All the efforts knowledge and power, the wealth and firm are just gone immediately the real owner closes eyes as disease.

Again many of us who are very wealthy should at least get their POD (Payable on death) to enable their next of kings have access to their father's, mother's or relatives wealth, especially country like Nigeria would frustrate the family of the disease if this form aren't filled by the disease before departure., This is another great lesson we should learned to show love to one another irrespective of levels and ranks as we know one day we may all leave here and the younger ones will also takeover.

Please his family should accept my condolences.
Although I never came encountered with him in this forum but it's worth being sad for at least 20 minutes knowing that he is our member here.

Fairwell Joerii we will all miss you sir.

A few days ago I got the news that Bitcointalk member Joerii (Joeri Pross) passed away, leaving behind a wife and 2 young kids.

A lot of you may have known him as he was one of the "oldbie" users on this forum and community manager for a lot of projects, like Factom.

He went missing august 30th and his body was found september 2nd.

As stated in the second article, there's a "GoFundMe" started for his wife and kids.
Already 585 donations have been made and €18,315 has been raised.

It is extremely sad news whenever an announcement is made about a forum member passing away. I cannot recall having any contact with him, I did not know him personally but my heart goes out to his family and friends and also to all those that knew him and those who held him in high esteem from the forum.

It is because of very poignant moments such as these that allow for moments of self analysis and reflection, when I wonder how things can change from one situation to another within the blink of an eye and what steps can be taken to financially protect loved ones for when the worst does happen. This is heartbreaking news.

Though it will never soften the blow of his loss, at least his family will not have to go through a protracted period of trauma if his death was being investigated as suspicious. Investigators have ruled it was an accident and I am sure we all send our sympathies and support to his family and friends.

I spoke to him on Telegram a lot, he always had ideas and was very creative, driven and he really could organize something and keep his promises.
Honest and generous too, not really caring about money but more about "being part of the game" in general.

I'm not saying I was among his best friends but we got along fine and had many things / interests in common.

"De mortuis nil nisi bonum", the Romans said. But about him, I couldn't think of any negative.

From the way you refer to him it is clear Joeri Pross was a good person, it is difficult to comprehend what his wife and children are going through. I hope the donation target is exceeded by a huge margin as it will contribute towards the benefit of his family.

[acroman08]

what a tragic accident, I feel bad for the wife but especially for the kids, growing up without a dad can be very hard for the kids. May he Rest in Peace and I hope his wife and children get all the support that they need.

This line of statement makes it more pitiable . It seems his death was mysterious and full of misery 💔.

according to the GoFundMe page, an investigation revealed that he slipped when he went to pee, landed very hard and fell into the water. it was such a truly unfortunate accident.

When you see news like this, you start to think about how a person can suddenly die. All our topics in the topic of reputation are sheer vanity of vanities. All of them turn into such a small thing compared to the grief that befell this young man and his family. I also want to express my condolences to the family; maybe one day they will come here just to read his life story here. I would also like to say: always tell your children and loved ones how much you love them and do not spare your feelings, because there may come a time when it will be too late.

The most painful part of the story of Joeri Pross is that he was just 40 and had a young family. His body was found in a river and the police ruled out crime. Which means that he either committed suicide or accidentally drowned. The rate of increase of suicide is becoming very high every day. You meet somebody today who looks happy, you might even party, drink, and laugh together but the next day a piece of news will break that he/she has committed suicide. People are dying in silence because of so many issues that they keep secret until they finally consume these issues. This is why it is important to treat people nicely so that you don't contribute to the secrets problems they are facing. May God show him mercy and grant him eternal rest.

Condolence to his family. Based on the feedback and comments from users who knew him he is a nice guy and had some reputation on his name. Its quite unfortunate that we loss another prominent member here in the forum.

Anything like this is really a big blow on the community side. Btw has anybody created a threads/index list (hall of fame a such) about people who pass away and leave forum for good?

[Z-tight]

RIP Joerii, our hearts goes out to your wife and children in this hard and sad time and i pray that they be able to get over this and be happy again.

Btw has anybody created a threads/index list (hall of fame a such) about people who pass away and leave forum for good?

Yes, when i used the search button i see Tranthidung created a "hall of fame" thread^[1], though it hasn't be updated in more than a year, and i don't know if they plan on making any future update.

When you put it in that manner, it really does bring a new angle to the word vanity when used in context of the reputation thread. There is much more to life to look forward to rather than to be held back by vanities.

I also want to express my condolences to the family; maybe one day they will come here just to read his life story here. I would also like to say: always tell your children and loved ones how much you love them and do not spare your feelings, because there may come a time when it will be too late.

I would like to echo the sentiments you have expressed so elegantly about condolences for the family. Also your advice to never spare feelings for those that you love and to tell them you love them otherwise there might not be another opportunity.

A few days ago I got the news that Bitcointalk member Joerii (Joeri Pross) passed away, leaving behind a wife and 2 young kids.

Sorry to hear about the death of user @Joerii, I hope that the family left behind will be given fortitude and patience. for the unfortunate trials he experienced.

A lot of you may have known him as he was one of the "oldbie" users on this forum and community manager for a lot of projects, like Factom.

Even though @Joerii is one of the campaign managers on this forum, I am not very close or know him, but he is still one of the members who has given his best to the community here as a whole, but I pray @Joerii accepted by his side in another world.

Rip Joeri Pross. I feel especially sad knowing that the one of the likely cause of his death is suicide. Just like you rightly pointed out, it's not easy dealing with depression and have no one who you could share it with. I'm even sadder that his little kids will be without a father, missing out on the pivotal role he'd play in their lives. I didn't have the chance to interact or come across such a user but I know his absence will be greatly felt here in the forum.
Losing a loved one can be such a sick pain in the gut and I can only imagine the pain his family must be going through especially as he went missing for days only to be found dead..
Rest on, Joeri.

[Maestro75]

As far as I know, he was a part of the mintlayer project. It was a quite different altcoin project, not like the traditional one. He managed a campaign for mintlayer here last year.

RIP, Joerii!!

I checked his posts now and discovered he spent quite a time managing the Mintlayer project. But am not familiar with him, maybe he was inactive when I became active or he was active when I was not. My heart weeps for the young family he left behind. Life is full of sad events and death is one of them. RIP, Joerii.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Oh, wow, I feel sorry that he died at such a young age too, and the fact that he still has two young children is really going to be a lot of responsibility for the wife. The sure thing is, we're all going to go home (to the afterlife) one day, and no one knows when and why, whether it's for good or bad. Like a few people here have said that they don't know the user, I am only hearing about him for the first time today, and I also thank you, Turing, for bringing up the notice in the forum.

RIP. If you believed in God, then I pray that your soul finds peace in God.

[Streamz]

This is so sad! My condolences to his berieved family

[Broadanbig]

It's so sad seeing that the bitcointalk platform lost a member. It is much a burden for his young family to be going through this experience. I must say this is a tough time for them as they mourn the demise of their father. It is unfortunate that he left behind two kids who would miss the fatherly love and care they deserve from him.

I see a go fund me campaign ongoing and so far it is going on successful. If I may ask, can it be replicated here?

My bad that I didn't read the article. But my guess was accurate. Such a death should be painful to both the dead and the living.
Whenever I read about the death of a member of this forum, first I feel pity to the family and secondly I will conclude that it is such an opportunity for bitcoin to get lost. It is high time we began to pay good attention to these threads discussing private key and family members. We should ensure the bitcoin we hold don't die with us whenever we are no more. There should be atleast a member of our family we should trust. Even if the person is not trustworthy, we have to take the risk because anything can happen anytime.
