RIP longtime HF Canucks fan and global moderator, parabola

[Bourne Endeavor]

how did he pass away?

Cancer

Far too young. You will be missed, Para. RIP.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Is there a fund we can contribute to for the family yet?

thepuckmonster has organized a Gofundme so we can make a donation to the Canucks for Kids Fund in parabs' name. He had asked us to donate to this cause in the past when his health took turns for the worse.

We've made a charity fund to donate to Canucks for Kids in memory of Parabs.

He was always awesome to me and helped me out a lot as a user and moderator. One of the funniest posters on this site, I'll miss him greatly and hope that in some way the Canucks can beat the odds and win him a cup this year.

What terrible news. Parabola was a great Canuck fan, a great long time poster, and you could tell some great things about him ("in the real world") by what he posted here.

Parabola should be remembered and honoured here. I vote his name be stapled to one of the thread titles. Some ongoing thread that is bound to continue for years. He's been here since I remember, and his presence here should continue on... A "stuffy" thread title wouldn't do his presence justice, IMO. The Parabola, Spiritual Leader, Armchair GM thread... Something like that, is how Parabola was, and should be remembered as, IMO. When a new poster asks who was Parabola?... he lives on here.

The way it should be.

You know, this gives me the idea our first GDT should be a dedication to Parabola. Celebrate his love for the team, and his contributions to HFCanucks.

 

[Sharpshooter]

Damn. One of my favourite fellow Tool and Canucks fans, from here and CDC. I'm glad we got to share those two things over the years. Wish I could have gotten his take on the upcoming new album.

This body
Holding me
Reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment.
Remember.
We are eternal.
All this pain is an illusion.

For you bud,

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Parabs had a great sense of humor about all he's been through.

It's a shame to part so soon but rest easy, friend.

 

[Quinning]

This guy was around for what seems like forever. Always had a good sense of humour.

RIP. We'll dedicate one to you here if the boys ever bring it home

 

[FLYLine27*]

Wow, absolutely devastating news. He was a great poster on these boards and you could tell he was a great person

RIP Kev

 

[Ainec]

RIP Parabola, condolences to his family & friends.

 

[Velociraptor]

What terrible news

RIP modabola! You were an inspiration to us all, one of the most die-hard fans on these boards through the years.

Hey Guys. Just looking for help on something from all of you.

I'll be doing the Canucks vs Leafs GDT on the Leafs board on November 14th, and I'm hoping to do it in a honorary way to Parabola.

He was often on the Leafs board interacting with us, and many of us over on the board have had fantastic interactions with him, whether it be on our board itself, the main board, the lounge, other sub-boards, or even here.

So essentially, I'm looking for links to posts from him that stand out to you. I'm looking for any stories of interactions people would like to pass along.

Stuff like that.

Any help would be appreciated. PM is the ideal route.

 

[Phrasing]

You will be missed. Always enjoyed conversations and posts by Parabola.

 

[Dolemite]

RIP Kevin, I remember some of our classic discussions and sometimes arguments dating back to the early days of the CDC forums and to here. Your love of hockey was unparalleled and I hope you're resting easy getting ready for another season of hockey.

 

[tantalum]

Terrible news. Condolences to everyone who knew him and especially his close family and friends.

I will raise a glass now and on opening night.

 

[Toadvine]

Wow, that's a huge bummer. He always had a great attitude despite the hand he was dealt.

Condolences to his family, he was taken away much too young.

That might be a tall order to make for the time being. You might want to consider a simple dedication and mention how much para was loved here and the way he persevered for so long in the face of so many serious health issues.

I just know I'm crushed right now and not in the mood for going back in time and reading his posts - too painful. I suspect a lot of us feel that way but maybe after a bit of time passes you can get some help with that.

But your gesture is very cool and thank you. It would be a nice thing to see.

 

[Machinehead]

Every time I watch Roman Reigns I'll think of him

Believe that.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Wanted to pass along my condolences to you folks, as you were all closest to him as Canucks fans.

para was a great poster here on HF, and I always got a kick out of our convos whenever we clashed on different boards.

He will be be greatly missed.

 

[jimmythescot]

i don't know what to say. I've 'known' him for years of jumping from one Canuck forum to another.

I'll miss him, even though we never did meet in person.

Great guy.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Geez,29 is way too young to go.Makes you really stop and realize how temporary life really is.

RIP man.

 

[LaVal]

Haven't posted on this forum in years, but I do come by to lurk occasionally and saw this thread and it really hit me. Para was a regular in HF's IRC chat room that we spent years of our lives chatting in. There weren't too many days that we didn't talk about something. To think he's gone at such a young age is truly devastating. He'll be missed.

 

[afrocentric]

Remember him from my CDC days, always had interesting posts and opinions. Gone way too young.

RIP

 

[Jyrki]

Hope he's in a better place

...preferably getting together and making a fantasy league with fans of days past.

 

[PG Canuck]

Way to young.....way too young.

We'll miss you, para.

RIP.
