Some Sad News I'm Afraid...

[Tricky1]

It's with great sadness to report that @JMI (Julian) sadly passed away on Saturday.
An extremely fit individual who was a PTI in the army and taken very suddenly at the very young age of 46.

I'm guessing many of you personally may not have met Julian or had dealings with him. He was a great family man and one of those friends that everybody needs in their life. He would pick the phone up immediately, at any hour, if you needed help or simply just to talk.

Yes, he's posts on here were a bit cryptic, but that was he's quirky sense of humour. Write some crap that means nothing, light the touch paper and sit back and watch the debate.

RIP fella, you will be missed.

Incredibly sad news!! It's a total shocker. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family x

Do you have any idea about the cause? I've been hearing about too many young people passing away (including some of my super-fit friends of the same age, 46/47), supposedly after receiving COVID jabs. I don't want to speculate or steer this thread towards conspiracy theories, but I'm genuinely curious about the cause of death, especially since you mentioned he was super fit!

On a side note: Has anyone reached out to Julian's family to educate them on his domain portfolio and the renewals? I would hate for his digital estate to be filtered off to drop catchers instead of his family members.

Sending love to his family x

Very sad news and a great shock to hear this - I have done business with Julian in the past and he was great guy to deal with. Thoughts and prayers with his family at this very sad time.

Yes @BG domains are in hand, thanks for your concern.

You're a legend, good stuff.

Really sad news, and thoughts with his family.

I think it was 2007ish we first spoke, his fun speculation, good natured cynicism and observations will be missed.

It does need asking, it's getting a bit silly now. This isn't normal and something very odd is going on, and it doesn't look to be stopping or slowing in frequency.

Another character from the forum gone. I wish I would have taken more time to get to know him, but I think like a lot of others, we didn't know he was joking with his posts.

RIP, best wishes to his family and thank you to those taking time to help his family with his portfolio.

This is awful. Condolences to to his friends and family. I've always enjoyed his posts.

Gosh this is so sad and such a shock. His silly and subversive posts often confused but always amused. My condolences to Julian's family and friends.

What sad news. He was a great chap. I did business with him and spoke with him many times. RIP Julian, and condolences to family and loved ones.

What a crass hijacking of this thread.

Maybe the thread could be split off into two. A lot of us have lost friends and family to some very strange things recently. I think it's right people share their concerns, but maybe a separate thread is better for those with something to add?

Really sad news. The acorn community is very small and this has hit home. Rest in peace @JMI.

Rest in Peace Julian, @JMI

Terrible, hitting early 40's myself with a young family, even more shocking. RIP pal my wishes to the family.

Shocked and sad to hear this - will miss his take on things. Thinking of his family and friends.

Ouch, very sad to hear this. Yes his posts were very cryptic but I always assumed he was just sitting back chuckling away to himself at by stirring things up a bit here. This does touch home indeed, I'm of a similar age and it's scary how these things can happen seemingly out of nowhere. RIP

 

[philiporchard]

So sorry to hear. I met up with him for drinks when I was in Dorset last. What a shock.

It's with great sadness to hear about Julian's passing. I had no idea he was so young. Julian had been a presence on Acorn domains and other forums for quite some time. He had his own unique style of communication and a wonderful sense of humour. Although I never had the chance to meet him in person, I often messaged and traded with him over the years. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time.

How sad. Tomorrow is never promised, and it's important to make the most of life in the moment, because you never know how things will pan out. It certainly sounds like Julian was much loved and appreciated, and had his own take on life. My heart goes out to his family and friends x

Certainly sad to hear. I met Julian on here and did some work with him on the earliest iterations of Domain Manage. We haven't spoken for a while and it's a pity we won't get that chance. RIP!
