we both had covid late last year, and I have a feeling that the long term effects were hitting him harder than either of us realized. but it was absolutely unexpected. landing in maui one evening and then… finding him the next morning was nothing I would have ever been prepared for. i’m actually just getting off the island today. it was the soonest I could get a flight back. these last few days have been like existing in hell in paradise. |

This is so hard to read. Eulogy was a true original and a legend on this board. Really sorry to hear this and will be thinking about you CW. Fuck.

I...don't think we ever interacted more than a few times, but as long as I've been aware of Netphoria, I've known his name, feels like.
I'm terribly sorry, Caine. |

I saw this on Facebook Tuesday and it stopped in my tracks. I was fortunate to meet Chris twice and enjoy beers with him both times when he was in DC. A great man, a kind soul. Next time I’m there I will go to Churchkey, which was one of his favorite beer joints I know of, and toast to Caine and him.
Tom, my condolences to you and your entire family. Hugs. |

when i saw this thread i knew rationally that D. would never come back to phoria just to do a tasteless prank like that, but the news struck me as so bizarre and surreal that it took some time to really register as being real.
we never really interacted much caine, but it must have been truly hellish for you to have this kind of atom bomb landed on your life out of nowhere like that. especially during what was supposed to be a nice vacation with your partner. jesus christ man. life. for what it's worth, i always respected Eulogy's sharp wit and ability to always be himself to a tee without ever letting anyone else's opinions sway him. i think i speak for all of us when i say that his multi-page flame wars with trots were some of netphoria's finest native produce through the years. take care of yourself. RIP. |

figured i'd drop in all of the thoughts and memories i have related to Eulogy -- not intended as any sort of eulogy, just unvarnished memories. the dude kept it real, seems better this way
i always liked the Ænima album, and liked the song Eulogy plenty already, but paid it extra attention because of Eulogy's username. felt like it deserved more deliberate listening since he chose it. i'm glad for that, ripping song a lot of my memories of him involve discussions of bands and music, since i never engaged in any of the politics discussions. at some point i remember him saying he liked Rilo Kiley. also Deftones. fucking Deftones!! i remember talking about that a bit with him more recently he joined here really young, maybe it was highschool, but possibly it was middle school i remember when he was a teenager and he posted about his first gay experience. he was pretty open and matter of fact about it, and i remember being caught off guard, because previously he had been posting about a girl he hung out with a lot but wasn't sure if she liked him (or something like that, it's been a long time). it was in the woods after school. i remember when he went off to college. Notre Dame if i remember correctly, and he was pretty pumped about that. i remember he posted some pics where he had some beers and his face was pretty red haha when i learned he was going to be a lawyer, i thought that made perfect sense. the endless debates with Trostskilicious stand out in memory most. i mostly tuned out for those to be honest, but it was undeniably a big part of the energy here. he seemed to always have a firm point of view, and he was never shy about advocating for it. i remember when Eulogy and Caine Walker became a couple and they were never obnoxious about it. so that's pretty rad. reflecting on it now, he also seemed more relaxed/calm/happy/peaceful/stable/less angry, etc. because of it it struck me as odd that Eulogy seemed to get along in real life with KrazeeStacee, who i considered a nemesis. i loved the hockey threads, with Ol Couch Ass cheering on his Bolts, Duovamp and Eulogy cheering on the Pens, and me representing my Bruins. so few people i know in my real life give a crap about hockey so it always feels comforting to me interacting with others who really love it too. i always thought of him as a chicago guy, but i never thought to ask how come the Pens were his team... did he grow up in pennsylvania? oddly, and unrelated to this, i've sometimes thought about what it'd be like to die withought your favorite team ever winning the Cup, so it's nice to know he saw them win it three times. not sure if he was alive during the Lemieux ones, but if so he was probably an infant, so those don't count for this just wanted to share my memories of the man. never would have imagined him being the sort of guy to pass early. if we're being honest, there are some of us for whom such news might be less of a surprise... but i always just assumed he had a great, long life ahead of him. just shocking. we basically got the chance to see him grow up here. tehb0lly!!1 said it well Caine, we're thinking of you. my intention with all this by the way, is just to share what i remember of him with you, in the event that it brings you a little comfort or positive feelings. i remember a very cold, lonely feeling, wishing i could just discuss and talk about someone i loved after they had died, just to reminisce and help remember them and feel closer to them, and there was never really any place for it and it was even lonelier than it should have been. sharing the life you two did, i don't imagine that specific dynamic will be a such an issue, but even so, just wanted to share my memories here with you |

I’m so incredibly sorry and sad to read this.
Eulogy gave me a hard time for being a clueless boring lonely soccer mom when I joined about ten years ago... not without good reason. Then about a couple of years ago he sent me a PM offering me a very genuine apology. He was an incredibly decent person even when he didn’t have to be May he rest in peace So sorry for your loss Caine. I always loved how different the two of you seemed to be and will never forget you posting about how you knew when he was at netphoria because of the furious typing He was such an accomplished, clever, talented guy. He had an enormous amount to give to this world and it’s very much a poorer place without him. I’m so sorry Caine |

I also enjoyed talking about music with him. He was the other huge fan of Failure here, and I hope he enjoyed seeing them in concert over the last few years. I remember us being hyped about their new releases, and friendly debating over how they stacked up to the old stuff.

eulogy was def the guy who started out the youngest on here
he was forever the "I remember when I was the youngest here" guy he was here for most of his life. so am I, but for him it's been a bigger percentage anyhow, still hard to believe he's not with us anymore |

Wow, really shocked to read this, and sending you the biggest hugs Tom. When I first started posting here (as Kahlo) I remember being put in my place time and time again by Eulogy who was usually tired of my bullshit. I did quickly come to realise that he was right, and that my attempts to troll were at best, tedious.
I always appreciated his passion for music, and for bands that generally I ignored - he kind of highlighted my own snobbery, and got the impression he loved what he loved and didn't really care if you agreed with that. He was also conversely quite fragile at points and I did worry that he put too much of himself out there. Again, it seemed like the mark of a man with a big heart. I will forever love the endless wars he had with Trots, and the often hilarious counterpoints. It was obvious from the start that he was like a dog with a bone - and when it came to arguing he would make a fine lawyer! I'm so glad he found someone he could love, and loved him back. So few people get that in this life,and I'm sure you will cherish it more than words can say. Sorry I don't have more to contribute, but please look after yourself. The biggest hugs x |

I recall when there was a time he was obsessed with a girl who was dating his best friend and needed advice in how to deal with it (probably at age.. 13 or so?) and then bit by bit started realizing on the board - I mean, you could read the progression - that he thought maybe he was gay. And came out here pretty much before anywhere else. The board meant a lot to him. RIP, Chris. Last edited by Nimrod's Son : 06-09-2021 at 07:23 PM. |

Unbelievable and scary how our time can come so suddenly. i remember having a few random Facebook chats with Chris and he was always super articulate and passionate. I wish I could have met him the time i came to Chicago, but pretty sure he had determined I was a loser by then
Take care of yourself Tom. This isn’t fair but you always struck me as a strong and resilient guy. Are there any mementos that you plan to keep that remind you of the good times? |
