My Friend Puutah Passed Away

[Kotsu]

For those of you close to him, the player known as Puutah passed away this morning at 7:00 AM at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Josh was a very close RL friend of mine and I don't know how many people out here really knew him. He was a great guy who would bend over backwards for anyone. He had ewing sarcoma (sp?) cancer in his left femur that was removed and has had chemo for the past two years. The cancer spread ot his lungs regardless and in October they said it was all shrinking and going away. Three weeks later, we're told that it's grown considerably and very aggressive and covered his lungs. The cancer perforated his lungs and filled his lungs with fluid. They removed about 3 gallons of fluid from his lungs over about 18 hours, but at that point there was really nothing they could do. Our friends and family were there with him and he went peacefully. Anyhow, this way whomever was friends with him in the game will know. Take Care

I've passed him by a few times ingame. I'm so sorry to hear that. I didn't know him well enough to call a friend. But he will be in my thoughts and prayers!

His situation could only get better Kotsu either the doctors would have found a way to relieve his pain or his body would make it end either way he found peace and that is what matters

I'm sorry that you can't share that peace with him now
