I am shocked and saddened by this. I was not close to skip but shared his company at times in chat and read his posts.

My love and deep sympathy to his family and friends

I can't say I knew skip. But it is quite shocking to lose a Pixie this way

I can't say that Skip and I were close but I am just blown away. I take for granted that you all will be here tomorrow and this news is truly sobering. Skip is missed!

As I stare from a six foot cell
And from beyond I heard the words
Deceptively Yours

For Skip... My friend...

I would like to pay my respects to Skip's family and close friends. He will be missed.

Sucks, Fucks & Kisses

It has been a long time since I posted but feel the need right now, I have only just heard about the sad news and have been reading posts from people who knew him well, he has touched so many hearts here.

I didn't know him very well, but this hasn't stopped me being totally gutted. My thoughts are with all who loved him.

Farewell Skip and hope you are with your God

I read this thread for the first time shortly after IWM had posted to it. Since then I've opened it and read it at least a dozen times. Leaving each time after sitting here looking at the 'reply' box and not finding the words I wanted.

Skip's threads could have you rolling on the floor laughing, sitting here shaking your head thinking 'OMG, only STO' or provoke some deep thought with his insightful post. There were many facets to the gem of a man we knew as Skipthisone. His shining presence will be missed here at Pixies but perhaps he is that twinkling star looking down at us tonight.

These words are still not right and do not express exactly what I want. So I'll close with deepest sympathy to Skip's family and his friends 'out there' and to all of you who loved him here at Pixies. I'd give you all a big hug if I could.

Rest in Peace Skipthisone. There's nobody who can fill your clown shoes so I hope you don't mind if we put 'em on top of the Pixie mantel. Bye Mr. man. We loved you.

I am truly sorry for STO, his family and his friends. I know he was never fully at peace with himself and his life since he first came to Pixies. I hope he found that.

STO and I first came on board at about the same time. He and I struggled several times with leaving the site. Interestingly, looking at the funny/sexy sayings everyone has underneath their posts, seem so trivial now. He was a good person and I hope he knew that.

I like many here am surprised. I didn't talk with him much but when we did it was always a lot of fun. I will miss seeing him on the boards.

that sucks really bad what a great pixian

I had not ever intended to log into Pixie's again after Skip's passing and letting you all know of the tragedy. Unfortunately, I feel such a depth of guilt and pain that I need to share a little more before I go.

I was at the funeral home tonight with my 15-1/2 year old son. I tried to be a good strong mom, but I was a blubbering idiot. He was a mess also. He and "Skip" were very close and share many of the same interests. "Skip" took him to his first rock concert and I can only tell you one band of four that they heard that night (smile empty soul). Without him in my son's life for the last 8 months I would not have grown as close to my son as I have. He gave my son an insite into things in life that I am sure he would have not had with just me. He was a good man and a terrific father.

The very sad thing about this is that he joked about being a bastard of many sorts on this site. You should all know that he hid the fact that he truly thought that of himself. He thought that he was a bad person and no matter what anyone told him, I think he continued along a path of destruction until he could fight his demons no longer.

He was raised in the Lutheran Church and he had been attending the Church of Christ with me for the past 8 months and I truely believe he had made his peace with God and feel that no matter what, our God is merciful God and that he knows that "skip's" heart was good and no matter what happened in the end, his life was worthy of the heaven we each dream of in our own private way.

I loved "skip" deeply once and will morn his death for a long time to come. I'm somehow comforted to know that you all are morning with me, so I keep coming back to the people who know him better than his public knew him. There is no one else who could possibly understand this loss.

Thank you all for being his friends and being so kind in the end. I know he is watching and I hope also that he found peace in his last hours.

Hugs.
