T-mos "gone but not forgotten"

[DSM4Life]

Wow, i guess it has been confirmed. In a way i was hoping it was a sick joke. ;sad;

[Immortal Soldier]

Immortal Soldier....if I can ask a favor of you. I love the avatar you posted today. I think it only fitting that it be switched over to Davids'. Would that be alright? Its a wonderful way to honor him and I know he would love it!

I would be honored for it to be T-mos' final avatar.

Here is a direct link for you and anyone who is intersted in saving it.

or just "from your friends and family at AR."

^^^that gets my vote.

[Narkissos]

I know bro seems like just yesterday miss mavs signed in and told us of the news....

It truly is amazing how close you can become with somebody just from reading text over the internet....

I honestly think of many people here as family....

True.

I've talked to G. since on messenger... and renamed a forum on my board after him.

Mavs was like a brother to me.

[Darksyde]

We will miss you David.
I can only hope you now find the peace that was so hard to find in life.

If i stare at that avatar any longer it's going to bring a tear to my eye...... very fitting and i'm sure he's looking down at that with the biggest kool-ade smile on his face.....

~Haz~

[POPS]

Considering I joined this forum last year I still consider myself a newbie. T has helped me out on a few things and gave me great information that I have used and passed on to a few friends.

RIP my friend and my condolences go out to his close friends and family..

it's unreal how close we actually get on the internet..... in a sense we really are a familly. AR is a great place i tell yah..... just look at how everyone pulls together to mourn the loss of an outstanding member..... it really is something else.....

Great job dude, this is in my signature at all of my sites....

My only discepency is that T-Mos was BIGGER than the superman in that avy lol - what a guy

~Haz~

[Tarheel]

I know Im new but T-MOS went out of his way to help me...I cant believe it! Im at a loss of words. R. I. P. my brother.

[firmechicano831]

this forum feel empty without him.

[Epic1]

the good ones always die

[Matt]

Theres a few guys that havnt been on for a week or so, their going to be chocked when they read this....

[MuscleScience]

I read the obit today

That brought it home for me

Reminds me of the loss of another David... "Mavsluva" :'(

God... what's happening?!

Yep he was a very good dude also. I knew Mavsluva a little better than t-mos. Mavsluva had a way of making his bad situation a teachable moment. He was always upbeat and inspired me whenever I though I had it bad. I hate thinking about him at times cause it hurts to think about what he left behind and made me think about what life was really about.

[c-Z]

T-mos was truly an inspiration to us guys who have been here longer and those who just came. I signed up in mar 08. And didnt really start posting until the last year.... I grew close to t-mos. And it's so unreal. Like because it's the internet you want it to be a joke. It's like i'm waiting for him to just show up at random.....

But deep down.... We all know in reality the truth. He is no longer with us. But in spirit.

Indeed it shows how close you can get to someone just over some typing.

[c-Z]

Theres a few guys that havnt been on for a week or so, their going to be chocked when they read this....

Yeah..... It's not easy to stomach.

[RuhlFreak55]

this sucks.....he helped me on cycle planning many a time

[Hazard]

yep..... there are a handful of guys here that know things about me personally and they're all sorta like familly lol- seems like T-mos was everyones familly lol - thats how much of an influence he had here.

~Haz~

[rockinred]

RIP T-MOS.... this is very bad news. He was an awesome guy and the responses to this thread is a testament to how much he reached out to others. My condolences to all his family and to all of you too.

I am using it in honor of T.

[Juice Authority]

This is a very sad day to have learned this. Even with all the bantering and debating back and forth with T-Mos he was always about helping people. He truly cared about people, especially newbies, and gave freely of his time to guide them in the right direction. I feel awful for him and his family. My sincere condolences.

[audis4]

So sorry everything had to end so soon T-MOS!

Way too early

Will be praying for him/his family/and all other members of this board!

btw, NARK if you read this PM me please!

[*Admin*]

One more thing, me and Admin have had our disagreements in the past and it got heated....


But let me tell you this the conversations I have had with him today where truly humbling, to see how much Admin actually cared about David was a breath of fresh air and I wanted to publicly thank him for being a true friend to David....

Much Respect for that Admin, it truly did mean allot to me to see how much you cared for him....Scott

Thank you...

yes David truly was a friend and I enjoyed our late night conversations... or his pms to just say hi and ask if all was going well... he was always helping people and never replying with a cross word even when sometimes we all know the posts can be very heated... He enjoyed being here and enjoyed that he could help people... when in reality I believe the people were helping him, by allowing him to show his knowledge and his caring nature... he was a good person and will always be remembered as such... most here if not all had a deep respect for him... he will be missed, yet I know he is at peace...


*admin*

[eatrainrest]

wow been gone some time and this is what i come back too? everytime i was on this forum he was there always giving quality advice looking out for everyones back like they were his own... great man, god bless him and his family

[grinchinit]

RIP brother

[jbm]

I want to thank you all for taking the time to remember David. I can't say it enough but he LOVED being on this board and honestly I couldn't understand why (until today that is) You all have showed me what a wonderful family he had here. He cared about all of you. I wish you could see his face when he was typing his replys to posts. There would be times when he would be laughing his ass off to posts in his silly "love thread", sorry pronetorage! Then there would be times he would make me look at countless women and make me say over and over that the brunettes he liked were HOTT!! Then there was JBM (sorry if i got the name wrong) you have no idea how impressed he was in your ability to find all the pics of women you were able to come up with. He would wake up in the middle of the night and get this stupid chuckle how "his boy" was hard at work while he slept. And lastly i have to bring up how pissed/frustrated he would get when someone too young was on the board insisting they were ready for steroids (that was always interesting to watch!) You may not of realized but David suffered from severe depression. You all helped him in ways you could never imagine. Watching over this board and giving advice whenever needed was better than any medicine ever prescribed him. He truely was a wonderful person. What you all saw on here didn't even come close to the man he was.

Immortal Soldier....if I can ask a favor of you. I love the avatar you posted today. I think it only fitting that it be switched over to Davids'. Would that be alright? Its a wonderful way to honor him and I know he would love it!

Now to give you all a better idea of what happened.....David passed away sometime after 2am on Friday morning.(he was texting up until that time) his girlfriend was at the beach and got concerned when she couldn't get a hold of him. His store manager was the one to find him. He was lying peacefully in bed, tv on, laptop at his side and all 3 of his animals were with him. The autopsy concluded he died of a heart attack....his arteries were all severly damaged. Everyone was noticing how short of breath he was all the time and he was always sweating. I know thru reading on the forums he stopped taking whatever it was he was taking 4 days before he passed...I only wish he would of went to the doctors and then maybe he would be here today. I miss him so much and still cant believe hes' gone. Again, thank you all for your love and support. Scott (Horse) you've been a true friend to David and today I saw why he was so honored to call you his brother. Thank you for everything!

A quick note to all of you....
Please take care of yourself and when it comes to steroids.....please be extremely careful and be aware of your body and what its telling you while on them.
Barbara

Thanks! Barbara for saying this I can't believe he enjoyed my pics. Specially brunettes. I'm really really touched... All my prayers are with David and his family. Condolences from me and my family.

R.I.P. T-Mos.


That's damn shocking...

[ted666]

R.I.P brother you were ther for everyone,and very much respected by me and everyone and im sure envied . my respect and condolences to all!!

[bass]

not cool, very sad. may his memory live on....

[*RAGE*]

superman just want to let you know you were in my thoughts today and will continue to be bro, god bless..

[Bojangles69]

Reading Barbaras post really gave me a vision of T I could have never seen w/out her. I don’t think I ever understood how much gratification he actually got from this place, his brothers.. till I read that.

Sitting there with his laptop laughing, he GAVE SO MUCH to this board, because WE MEANT THAT MUCH to him.
And thats what brought a tear to my eye, realizing that fact. And trying to figure out how the fvck someone is born with a heart so big.

I use to say to myself "omg how can someone stand being on this forum and posting so much!!.. it doesn't make sense". But now I realize it’s not weird, its only weird for someone who doesn’t have a heart big enough to understand. His contributions were free gifts for us all, because we gave him something we will most likely never understand. But I know from what he gave to us, that something was pretty big for him.

He may have compared himself to superman, but in my eyes he was the Santa Claus of ar, always came bearing pearls of wisdom. And never asked anything in return. That’s the mark of excellence, he was never short of it, and that’s exactly how he’ll be remembered for the rest of our lives.

Later T

Where can we find the foundations that have been set up, or a place to send donatinos to his son? Please inform!

[GymHero]

wow, I havnt been on this site in months, this is my first night back on and logging in I was thinking of everyone that helped me in the past and t-mos was always there. I had an unread msg from t-mos from months ago that I never got a chance to reply back 2... Great guy, R.I.P

[PT]

i have the addy of his bussiness he ran and that is were the flowers from "the board" are going but im not certain were to send the funds. i belive it was national city bank but if someone could post a link i would love to make a donation and i wish everyone else would as well. if we all donate a small amount we can help his family thru this horrific act. i urge everyone here to make a small contribution.

as alot of you already know david was a great guy and touch alot of members here. we were such a lucky board to have him and he definatly made this place better. alot of us are on here everyday and not only do we end up being friends but its almost like a family or brotherhood here. i dont belive there is another bodybuilding board in the world with such a tight knit family and i thank every single one of you for making this possible.

t-mos was a brother to alot of us so naturally losing him will hurt us all for a very long time. i wish to god we could have him back if even for just long enough to read this entire thread so he can see how loved and respected he is because there is no way he knew that he touched so many people. there is no way that he could of known just how loved and respected he is here.

i ask everyone to say a prayer for our fallen brother and keep him in your hearts and thoughts forever.
