He truly was an inspirational bloke...will be missed, but will make us work harder :up:
I am devastated to read this news. He was a very inspirational guy. Our XS WCG Team collected donations for Jon and his daughter over the past two months. I sent him the first whole donation, he responded with a picture of his daughter who made me smile. In a few weeks later, I sent to him the second donation, he sent me another new picture of his daughter. But the third time and the last donation I sent to him, he did not respond. I thought he was busy to respond, but never knew this could be happened!
Thank you for what you have given to this site. You will be missed. :(
R.I.P. Jonathan/loonym.
I just saw this.
Wow that really sucks..........
RIP bud, maybe you can talk to the big man up there and get him to give us a little sun shine in light of all the snow we have been getting across the NE US.:D
I think a score or two should be dedicated to his memory @ the XS party for CES this year. Charles? A moment of silence for him too?
His last public post was to Charles in this his thread about being sick.

My best,

For crissakes...
One of the few guys who hung out in the IRC channel that was set up. He will be missed. Damn... Just speechless, though I knew he was terminal, just did not ever want to see the day. May his passing free him from pain.
Good Bye Loonym
R.i.p. :(
:( Sad News. Rest in Peace Loonym.
I went missing here for a month and I come back to find this thread - very sad news to come back to when I was hoping to come back to read of him running his cascade and crazy crunchers putting together 32c machines. It was one of those things that you know might happen at any time but you're never prepared to hear, and even though I don't think I've ever spoken directly to him on the forums, knowing what he meant to the WCG team and xtremesystems in general makes this hard news to swallow.
RIP - I wish the best for your daughter, she is a beautiful little girl and we can all be sure of the fact that you'll be watching over her as she grows up (and becomes a cruncher :)).
RIP loonym
Just saw this and made me so sad, never knew John but for his pics or threads...
My condolences to his family.
You Reast In Pace Mate
Sergio
Rest in peace, my friend. You will be missed.
Rest in peace my friend. May you continue to crunch in the sky.
I am away for a few weeks and upon returning I find this :(
When I read about his condition some time ago, I always realised the possibility of his passing was there, but it never occurred to me that it could actually happen... I'm devastated. My condolences to his family and friends...
Rest in peace Jon...
let me tell you a quick story,
i didnt know jon, that is until i got leukemia and was hospitalized for 3 months of the last 12..
jon contacted me when he found out and had nothing but supportive things to say, "stay positive" "keep your head up", this sort of attitude defined the man, keep pushing forward in all situations, you certainly helped me get through it mate,
your an inspiration to many, our thoughts are now with your daughter and family and hoping that everyone works out for them,
see you later mate
I knew this was coming.. and have known for a very long time. And yet, I still feel devastated seeing this logging on after a few days of vacation...
Not sure what to say really.. what I felt I had to say I said to him a long time ago. For the benefit of those that weren't lucky enough to get to know him: Jon was one of the most amazing people I ever knew, and he will be remembered as such. Rest in peace my friend.
RIP my brother....You were an inspiration to all of us at team TPU.
Really sad to see Jon passed away
My regards and best wishes to his family
He was one of the few people that was a breath of fresh air in this place and will be truly missed.
Goodbye my friend

This is sad news. And yet another reason to crunch. RIP Loonym. My condolences to his family.
Somehow i knew that someday this thread will pop up, since haven't seen in forums or irc for weeks.
R.I.P Jon/Loonlym, and best wishes to Annabelle.
Every single time I saw his signature, I was emotionally touched. So sad to hear these news, rest in peace Loonym :(
RIP our loved Jon.. very sad news indeed :(
I hope God gives his family the strength they need to cope with his death.
RIP
