Posts: 13830 New Jersey, USA Gender:	c_a died Nov 23^rd, 2022 at 7:35am Apparently not many have noticed because the news is buried in the "Not a well aardvark" thread. c_a died last night. Though we never met in person I considered him a dear friend. This loss stings like hell. I am without words.

Awful, awful news.

“My final hour is at hand. We face an enemy more numerous and cunning than the world has yet seen. Remember your training, and do not fear the hordes of Judas. I, without sin, shall cast the first stone. That will be your sign to attack! But you shall not fight this unholy enemy with stones. No! RAZOR GLANDES! Aim for the eyes! May the Lord have mercy, for we shall show none!“ -Jesus the Noodler

Just very upsetting to hear. I had been emailing him back and forth a few weeks ago as well. I think it was before he got sick. Also on the 18th I was in a car accident, and then lost my grandmother that same night. So this week has been horrible to say the least.

We lost someone who made huge strides in the slinging community. With his 3d printed equipment. I will cherish forever.

I've read it religiously every day since I was 14. And from that time on, I've always looked up to and admired CA. I just can't believe he's gone. Rest in peace Curious Aardvark.

Being present on multiple different social media platforms (WhatsApp, Facebook, this forum, Instagram, Discord) I've seen so many people express their shock and sadness at this news. The sheer diversity of backgrounds truly shows his impact. From Guam all the way to here in Finland, across the US, India, Australia, across the whole of Europe, there are people deeply saddened by this news. That's quite an impact.

So many of us have learned and gleaned from him and through that influence he lives on in us. Grateful and saddened by this news. To his family and loved one I send my sincere condolences. RIP to a man who upheld us all

Long distance from UK all the way to Hong Kong just to chat ( long distance calls in those days costs an arm and a leg!). Great guy, will surely be missed. Sorry to have never met him in person Rest in peace, my friend.

Maybe we could all send some kind words about how we felt about Alex and have this compiled into a little video to send to his family? Just so they know how many people he reached?
