Breetai aka Firebomber7

[jperryss]

Just saw this on Digitpress, I think he went by Firebomber7 here.

Some unhappy news concerning Breetai

Racketboy thread here.

RIP, bud.

[Bernie]

Wtf!     This is terrible news.

[Sadler]

Oh man, that's awful. I swear he was just in chat the other day. Really sorry to hear this.

[hizaygizirlz]

I'm so sorry to read this.  What a terrible tragedy.  He was a great guy.  RIP and thoughts and prayers to the family.

[DragonmasterDan]

We've lost a fantastic forum member, and a good friend. This is obviously an awful tragedy.

[TurboCro]

RIP  Horrible news. My deepest condolences go out to his family.

[PunkCryborg]

I can't believe it took me so long to hear about this. I talked to him all the time in the chat room till late at night at times sharing stories and chatting. I will surely miss him. I'm glad to hear his daughter is doing already despite the injury
firebomber you will surely be missed and I'm glad we got to know each other, R.I.P. brother!

[T2KFreeker]

I am so sorry to read this. Blake and I talked quite a bit. Between his divorce, trouble he was having with work and trying to juggle seeing his 2 year old, things were rough for him, but he made it work and had gotten strong doing so. I know he was a great Father and posted many fun pictures of his little girl gaming on the chat. He was very proud of her and was at a place in his life where he seemed to be happy again. I can't believe he's gone. Know him as Bretai or Firebomber7, the dude was so cool. I know I'll miss him. We had gotten close enough to exchange Christmas Gifts even this year between our families. Damn. At least his little one is okay for the most part physically which is what he would have wanted in the end.

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Oh man, that's awful. I swear he was just in chat the other day. Really sorry to hear this.

Yes, I think I was talking with you guys.  He was a very cool guy, and fuck!@!  Damn, I wish I could have gotten to hang out with him.  He was talking about making the trip to one of our Turbo Fests coming up too..

A horrible loss for the community and a great guy.  I'm so sorry to hear about this.

[turboswimbz]

I use to love his mash up photo of systems and attachments.  He will clearly be missed here among other places. This is def a shock I was not expecting.

[SuperDeadite]

Holy shit.  R. I. P. man...

[tggodfrey]

wow, this is really shocking, almost to the point you dont wanna believe it.  My condolances to his family, we will miss him.

[TheClash603]

RIP, that's sad news.

[ParanoiaDragon]

I didn't know him, but, seeing that picture of him with his daughter broke my heart.

[Sparky]

Terrible to hear, and with a 2 year daughter as well.
T2K said it best, his daughter lives on as he would want, but a terrible loss.

[henrycsc]

Rest in peace buddy.

[PCEngineHell]

Terrible news, seriously. At least his daughter survived the crash, but just shity he didn't make it. If anyone here has any sort of way of contacting some of his family, would be great if they could just let them know they have our condolences. The guy was a highly valued member to many across multiple forums. This is a real loss.

[roflmao]

Terrible news.  I'm at a loss of words.

[MotherGunner]

Boy, 2012 has just been so shitty, I caught this news through Bernie on FB and felt terrible.   Most of us are Dads and can imagine what that would mean for us and our sons/daughters/wives in that situation.  *sigh/smh*

[KnightWarrior]

RIP Man..I only talked on PMs with him

[hoobs88]

I didn't know him, but, seeing that picture of him with his daughter broke my heart.

Indeed.

[420GOAT]

RIP Buddy, youll be in my prayers tonight.

[PCEngineHell]

Yep thats what I was thinking. Really glad his daughter survived. In a shity situation like this, the only thing I could think of worse is both of them being killed, or him surviving and losing his daughter, which as a parent, I know it would have destroyed him. I was extremely lucky to survive a head on collision earlier this year. Air bags were defective and did not activate and I was thrown forward into the steering column pretty hard. Had my kids been in the car with me, whoever would have been in the front passenger seat would have been killed or seriously injured for sure. The steering wheel is basically the only thing that kept me from slamming my head through the windshield, as the seat belts gave too much slack and did not keep people in place in the shoulder area of the seat really in that car.

[blueraven]

That really sucks. That really, really sucks. FB7 was solid. He will be missed and that's horrible what happened.

[Tatsujin]

Oh no...

I am just so deeply shocked about reading this terrible news can't even put the right words together.
He was such a cool and fun-loving person.
Really terrible loss to the community and the world.

When he was still living in Japan, we once had a meet-up in Akihabara and we had a really good and funny time togther going through all the retro shops, buying some stuff here and there and making non-stop jokes about this and that.
We also made funny plans about opening a Swiss-Canada Chalet together in Akihabara with rustily interior, traditional food and games and stuff.

Also I was shocked to hear about his own family problems he had when he moved back to Canada, which involved a divorce and fighting for his daughters parental rights etc.
He was very unhappy at times, but he was was always strong and took it like a real man.

Also my deepest condolences going out to all his family members and that his daughter will be fine in the future, also without her loving daddy next to her

You sure will be remembered forever in our hearts.

Fare well my friend and R.I.P.

[VestCunt]

Very sad news. He was a positive force around here.

[GohanX]

My heart just fell to my gut, this is terrible. He and I have been talking a lot more recently, I can't believe he's gone.

You'll be missed, my friend.

[FiftyQuid]

Man... I really don't know what to say.  We messaged back and forth a few times.  I'm not sure why this is impacting me as much as it is.  I didn't know him, but I did you know?  I'm extremely saddened by this news and at the same time I'm so grateful his daughter survived. 

Wow... just wow.  My prayers go out to his entire family.

[420GOAT]

lifes short, be happy , good, and love  your family.

[nectarsis]

  You will be missed man

This BOMBAAAA'S!! for you:

[NightWolve]

I caught this news through Bernie on FB and felt terrible.

Yeah, same here, then I went to the chatroom (was MIA there for a while) where I had met him to verify the "WTF?" I was feeling... And it made the news...

He was a cool guy, how tragic! I didn't get to know him too well, but we had some fun chat sessions not that long ago with him posting random 80's videos, many with this particular Italian big-boobed singer that he liked and what not. ;)

Well, Rest In Peace brother...

[SignOfZeta]

I didn't know the guy at all, barely noticed him being here. He was one of maybe 5 other North American Macross 7 fans other than myself that I can think of though so I always knew there was something there. I'm glad you other guys got to know him better than I did.

[Sadler]

It feels like a sucker punch to the gut. I honestly thought it was a joke until I saw the news article linked in the racketboy thread. I'd like to thank firebomber for introducing me to Alba.

[OldRover]

This sucks. FB7 was one of the best guys around. Damn.

[TR0N]

RIP FB7 damn this has come out of nowhere.Any time i talk to him chat,he was in process of rebuilding his collection.

[chany60126]

Such terrible news. I talked to him almost everyday in the chatroom. Such a cool guy to talk to.

RIP fb

[chop5]

im still in shock. when you talk to someone on chat almost everyday it hits you hard when you realize they are never gonna come back on. i even bookmarked a restaurant to show him called bree thai,thai food. im sure his spirit is looking at this and is laughing. later blake ;) the man from the bay of thunder.

[Bardoly]

Sad news.

Rest in Peace, man.

From what I knew of him, he was a great guy who was lucky at raffles.  (He won 2 of my 3 raffles.). He was actually in the process of sending me for free an extra bootleg pressed Sapphire for my new Arcade Card sometime in the next week or two...  Man, this is hitting me hard for some reason.  I'll be praying for his family.

[MotherGunner]

Guys, you know the biggest mind-fuck in all this?  His last post here was on the 23rd, the day he passed.  I had maybe a few back and forths with him, so I only knew him by name, but I feel so sad for him and his family.  :-/

No kidding huh, mike told me earlier today and i remember seeing the post. Kinda of was in disbelief. I'm thinking to myself, but he just posted. sucks, not good to lose people at all.

[Arkhan Asylum]

This really blows.   I always enjoyed the random back and forthing in chats with him.

Gaming communities all over the internet lost someone awesome.

Yeah I'm pretty certain he had been in the chat the night before as well. 

[BigusSchmuck]

Can't say I knew the guy very well, but he'll definitely be missed. RIP.

[CGQuarterly]

I never interacted with him much, but after reading through this thread I went back and read a lot of his posts.  We definitely lost a great PCEFXer.  RIP.

Chris

[psychobear]

Didn't know him, but like others have stated he seem like a cool dude, condolences to the family, and to his little girl hope she gets well.

[cdamm]

i just found out now.

well this is a shame. the one man who followed me from forum to forum arguing pce vs snk everywhere.

he was a great guy and i will miss him tremendously. I wish nothing but the best for his family.

-c.

[turbokon]

Damn, I am truely sorry to hear about him. Glad his daughter survived. I sold him one of my ifu setup not too long ago.

[Ji-L87]

Oh. Man.


Thinking back, I won a Sapphire bootie from that guy. I guess that was my major interaction with him but...still.
Good thing the kid survived.

[csgx1]

Damn, this is very shocking and sad news. My condolences to his family.  Rest in peace.

[Arkhan Asylum]

He was pretty cool.  He put up with my dipshittery in shoutbox!   That's infinite cool points, right there.
