R.I.P. DacRip / DC Current

spectrrr · 12-28-2015, 05:59 PM

I originally met DC here on the forums, although he was never very active on CA. A few folks here knew DC in person from some of the Ohio area herfs. He mostly kept to himself, but I stayed in touch with him and we herfed from time to time when I was in town. I counted him as a true friend, the kind you know would answer your call at 3 am and agree to help, without even knowing or caring about the details.

We didn't agree on religion, politics, and a whole basket of other things, but true to the CA spirit we never let that get in the way of sharing a cigar and engaging in lively discussion about the things we could agree on.

I hadn't seen him online in a while and his phone was disconnected, so I did some digging and learned that he passed away on Sept. 27th. I don't have any more information than that.

This one is in your honor my friend, rest in peace:

His user name is not familiar to me, Francis.
I'm very sorry for your loss. And to any others here who may have known him.

I spent the better part of 20 minutes combing through the inmate list trying to find him. Either he had a different username here than I remembered, or deleted his account (if that's even possible). We had kept in touch via skype the last few years.

If you have an email address for him, I can search on that.
Feel free to PM me if you'd like me to look.

I know DC from two Shack Herfs, I am brainfarting on his user name but I will find it. I am more than sorry to hear this.

icehog3 · 12-28-2015, 08:15 PM

DC was "fencefixer" here...I know he was at the 2012 Shack, and at least one other.

ahhhhhh! nice find Tom, I had completely brain-farted on his username

Yeah, I stayed at his house one year during shack (I think 2012).

I know he stopped by shack I think last year (2014).

Scottw · 12-28-2015, 08:58 PM

I believe he was not even 40 years of age. Terrible news

G G · 12-28-2015, 09:06 PM

Very sorry to hear it Francis.

Theo Cincy · 12-28-2015, 09:35 PM

What! This is a complete shock. Any news what happened?

Genetic Defect · 12-28-2015, 10:28 PM

Never got to meet him but he did offer me a room to stay during shack.

RIP

May He Rest In Peace.

Oh hell, DC died...damn sorry to hear this.....Bishes!

jonumberone · 12-29-2015, 07:18 AM

I remember DC from the Shack...Sad news....RIP

irratebass · 12-29-2015, 07:26 AM

Man, this is very sad. He was at last year's Shack (Saturday night I believe) he didn't stay long. I had asked about his son (who passed away, but I didn't know that) he just kind of shrugged and said it is what it is.

Then someone....maybe Dan or Hugh told me his son had passed...I felt terrible.

R.I.P. DC you were a great BOTL

I don't think his boy ever passed. The obituary indicates he was survived by all three of his sons, including Drake. Drake is the one with Dravets syndrome, a terminal condition.

I saw that also...all pretty heartbreaking.

Man, This is a shock.. He was a good guy. I wish I had meet him in person

dijit · 12-29-2015, 08:48 AM

I had the privilege of a trade from him and a conversation regarding said trade. Always a stand up guy. A great loss for our community.
