Sucks.

Sad news indeed. I’ll throw one down for Porky tonight and spin some Ministry at dangerously high levels.
RIP
Still trying to get my head around this.

Late,

He will be sorely missed by all.
Seemed like a level headed, easy to get along with guy.
I just hope he did not suffer for too long.
RIP
Porkspam is really gone [:(].
His sister wrote back this morning and the short of it is this:
Porkspam had some bad health issues and it looks like he took a bad combination of meds and had a heart attack.
I’ll post her response to me if she gives me the ok but that is the basics of it.
I sent her a link to this thread and she was really touched by it and thanks everyone for the kind things that you all said about her brother. She is happy to know that George had friends that cared enough to notice he was missing and will pass that along to her family.
Further updates when applicable!

Thanks for the feedback, grmp. The poor guy. Hope his sis and her family are doing ok.
Am raising a beverage as I type to the Porkmeister.

Ditto…
George’s sister gave me the ok to post her email so this is it…
Hello,
Thank you for your email and for reaching out. I am george’s sister, Christine. Unfortunately, george did pass away. He did go by the name porkspam-that was his aol email and I guess he used it when he would post on forums.
Wow! I read the thread that you sent me a link to-glad to see that he was well-liked. Any chance you can send me a link to some of his postings? I can always explore the webpage.
George passed on April 15th. I found him in his bed in his bedroom-he died from a heart attack. he was on a lot of meds and we believe that he took a deadly combination of them. he was going through a lot of personal turmoil in his life-some major psychological/mental issues but he was a very smart and caring young man and it breaks my heart everyday to not have him here. He was seeing a lot of doctors but you know how they do-they just prescribe meds up the ass hoping it will help. he also was a recovered heroin addict-so he was always struggling with that addicton. regardless of his illnesses-he still was an awesome man! I just wish I could have done something to help him.
No worries about investigating-it actually makes me very happy to know that people were curious as to what happened to him. You guys posted a lot of nice comments about george! Thank you so much! I wish that I could tell you differently-trust me this has been the hardest thing I’ve had to go through. George and I were extremely close-we talked everyday either on the phone, email, or via text.
Anyways,thank you again for reaching out. I’ll pass the word on tomy family that people he knew were asking about him. I’m sure George is smiling somewhere.
Do not hesitate to email me with any other questions or comments. thanks!!!

Late,
grmpysmrf
thanks.
She found him? Ouch.
Hope she and the rest of the family are ok.
Aw, sweet Jesus.
See, I’ve seen people snuff it before my eyes, but MAN, I can’t begin to comprehend finding something like that, you know?
She’s got my respect, and my never-ending sympathies.
Thanks for going above and beyond, grmpy.
Ugh! Yeah, seeing a body’s one thing but finding someone you love has to be unimaginable. How sad. For what it’s worth, people stop posting on the Internet everyday. It takes someone cool to be missed.
That’s really sad news to hear and my condolences to his family and close friends.
Porkspam was always a nice genuine person here and I don’t think I can remember a single negative post from the guy.
Porkspam was also one of my coolest characters when I made my little Prongs cartoons.
Here’s the movie I made with Porkspam…watching it again it reminded me that he was indeed one of the good guys.

RIP George.
That one appears to be a Melvins one.
My sincerest condolences to George’s family and friends.
I can empathize with losing someone close, young, and sudden.
R.I.P. Porkspam/George, you were always a good chap on this little community. Condolences to his friends and family.
