Very sad news I actually remember him posting not that long ago once I spotted the name. He seemed a nice guy.

He passed away just this past Thursday :( If anyone who knew him wants to send a donation to his wife there is a gofundme page: https://www.gofundme.com/loveformete

I'm still in shock, he was just 36 years old and a father of two amazing kids. :(

Devastating news. I've spoken to Mete regulary for the last years and were planing on meeting up. He shared his joy and knowledge of collecting and was always there if I needed advice.

Rest in peace my friend.

Tragic news and a guy with a name we all knew, even if we didn't know him personally.

Can't imagine what his wife and kids are going through. Thoughts are with them

I knew the name from seeing him post on various boards but I'm not sure I ever spoke to him. Never nice to see a fellow collector pass away.

RIP.

Another glowing sabre :(

So sad to hear this. Mete was a good guy and I remember him from the forums. Such a sad day for all who knew him.

RIP buddy.

Very sad news and especially at such a young age.

The money raised will never fill the gap left in his wife and childrens life but just shows how a community pulls together when tough times happen.

Nearly $30,000 in 6 days is a wonderful gesture.
