REST IN PEACE - The Passing of long-time (8+ years) 16types Member Raver

[Jason]

Hey Guys.

For everyone who knew Carlo (known in the forum as "Raver" as the IEE 6w7 or 6w5 I don't remember). I wanted to let you know that he passed away Saturday last week (August 31st, 2019)

He's one of my best friends and I know he was an active member here (I used to be active here for a couple of months) and he would want everyone here to know as well.

I bought him a huge standing bouquet of flowers on behalf of everyone here for his funeral tomorrow Message says "From Jason and 16Types". If you would like to contribute, feel free to e-transfer me any amount you want to jason20092010@live.ca .

I just wanted to let everyone know.

RIP Raver. https://www.the16types.info/vbulleti....php/372-Raver

....I am left paralyzed. He was easily the most respectable and agreeable member on this forum. RIP Raver, I will miss having our friendly debates.

[hag]

fuck

if it's not impertinent to ask: what happened to him?
my sympathies to you and his family @Jason <3

[Olimpia]

Oh no, really? o.O

There's this odd trend of forum members dying sooner than they should... :/

[timber]

What a kind man, reached out to me with his letters and wise words of advice. A very compassionate person. I'm sorry for his friends and family. To go so young same age as me.

What a loss, I'm sending my sympathies out to his friends and family. He had an impact on the forum and irl for many people here.

<3

[gone]

What???

Raver was easily one of my favourite members here - always struck me as being very thoughtful, very respectable and always pleasant company.

I'm so sad to hear about this.

May he rest in peace.

[Tearsofaclown]

Truly one of the very few people who has never pissed me off and said many interesting things. Just about the best this place has to offer.

[Apple]

Damn, I'm pretty dejected, I would have really loved to get to know him, he seemed like such a cool and interesting guy.
Rest in peace.

[Aster]

How terrible. What a great guy. I’ll miss him being here. He was one of my favorite people to talk to. An incredibly accepting, nice person.. I felt like I was kicked in the gut seeing this thread. I wish this was not real...

RIP Raver

[Cosmic Teapot]

Thank you for letting us know.
This is so unreal; the last time I wrote him feels like yesterday and now he's never coming back...
I'm very sorry, Jason.

[Computer Loser]

RIP @Raver,

I'm sure many, including myself, are at loss of words - we all take for granted that people pass one day and you certainly left earlier than expected.

You were easily one of the most intelligent yet likeable/respectable person on this forum, a very rare quality to have. And oddly, you were also one of the few that I resonated with.

Hopes and prayers for your close family and friends, who will miss you very much.

See you again one day, @Raver

And thank you @Jason for passing the message.

[ooo]

gosh... he looked so handsome : (

[WinnieW]

That was unexpected.
RIP Raver. My sincere condolences to the members of his family.

We have only a few conversations on this board, as far as a can remember.

[lemontrees]

super sad

[Memento Mori]

Life is a song, and he was a warm and harmonious melody.

Though we spoke often, we knew each other only a short time. You will be remembered, Carlo

[Nairda]

I now regret not attempting to speak with him more when there was still time. R.I.P. Carlo

[DirectorAbbie]

Raver was a leader with an easy-going nature. Though he was Ne, he was not hasty or wacko, but reliable and friendly. I enjoyed having his presence here, and he will be missed.

[ashlesha]

Thank you so much for thinking of telling us during this time, Jason. My heart goes out to you and everyone closely involved with him. He was too goddamn young and vibrant. I'll remember him warmly.

[xerx]

RIP to a great guy. We debated a lot, mostly about our political disagreements, but he was a complete gentleman throughout. He was smart, open-minded, willing to entertain unpopular opinions, and easily one of the bright spots on this forum.

He will be missed. Rest in peace, good buddy!

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

Wow. The feels man. Weird thing is I was just thinking about him and his IEE-ness. I had this urge to want to talk to him today. And now... I realize that will never happen again. =( wow. Handsome dude too.

He will be in my thoughts and prayers forever. xoxoxoxo

[Adam Strange]

This is very sad news. Raver was a truly good human being. My deepest sympathies go to his family and friends.

[sbbds]

One of the nicest guys I've ever met. Such a shame. May his memory continue to inspire us daily.

[flames]

Wow. I almost can’t believe this. He was always active on discord and I immediately checked on there after reading this, and yeah not a peep from him for some time. This is my first time seeing a picture of him too. I want to know what happened but at the same time I don’t want to be an asshole and dig in to something that might be too private for someone who never knew him in person.

We are all thinking of him. </3

edit: I think sometimes it’s easy to forget we’re real people on here and not just caricatures of a personality theory so that picture really blew me away with how sadly real this is

[Metamorph]

Rest in peace Raver.

I'm playing Hindemith for him tomorrow and I'm uploading the recording here.

[Metamorph]

Oh no, really? o.O

There's this odd trend of forum members dying sooner than they should... :/

Though this doesn't apply to Raver at all, it explains the statistic: shame kills.

[Ave]

I am at a loss for words upon hearing this. He was such a kind, accepting, non judgemental human being. In our conversations he always made me feel like he listened to what I said in full.

My deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

[andreasdevig]

Damn. I felt bad about the way I challenged him and what not. Now especially. It's the little things. I know I feel hurt easily by so many many things that people do, so if I ever hurt you, Raver, then I'm very sorry. RIP my dear brother.

[Hitta]

He was a smart guy, I really enjoyed talking to him. Always had an open mind, and was a curious, lively soul. I'm completely sick hearing this, just feels incredibly wrong knowing he won't be here discussing things anymore. RIP Raver, this forum loved you.

[Sol]

On his avatar is Bill Hicks which also died in ~33 years. From a cancer.
On his profile picture is a man going to a light by a corridor, what associates with known short "death" dreams.
Probably he had a disease and suspected to live not long.

P.S. The theme would be more appropriate to place in "Anything" section.

[Aylen]

I never have enough words to do justice to situations like these. Most of the wonderful things that can be said about Raver have been said already by others. Sorry for your loss @Jason and for the loss of the family. I will miss him. RIP Raver.

[The Reality Denialist]

What ever I say might sound horrifying and this is not the purpose of it so...

Long time member from 2005 so I didn't really know him that well. At least he seemed to have good time with my twistedness which seems quite spectacular and it extends to others it seems.

Too young.

I'm sure Raver would have mentioned it to someone had he known. And I for one was never given a hint that anything was amiss with his health.

As Nairda pointed out, based on what information could be found, a brain aneurysm seems most likely.

[Tonatiuh]

I just wanted to say; I think everyone he interacted with respected him for his great integrity and intellect. I can honestly say that he was one of a kind. I do not use these words lightly. Goodbye.

Ps; that one time I leaned on you, I never forgot what you said...

[Starvish]

I looked up to him a lot. He was very enjoyable to talk to, and I wish I could have had more conversations with him. He had a super cool outlook and always had something to say; always invited people into stuff and helped me come out of my shell. I'm sorry.

[Chthonic Daydream]

I will miss you. I will miss discussing about life, the world and everything with you. I will miss lightly teasing you, and I will miss seeing your "bro" and "yo" in my discord.

This is surreal; I came to you for advice a little over two weeks ago, and I sent you a message last week, thinking you're very busy with work and that you will eventually come back.

May you find peace, Raver/Carlo.
I asked Aylen to light up a candle for you but I will do it myself as soon as I get my hands on one.
For the brilliant star whose light ceased to brighten our lives.
Sleep well.

[consentingadult]

Is this really true? I'm asking because I noticed Jason, the person who started this thread, apparently has been banned?

But if true, it is really sad new. I didn't know Raver on a personal level, but I did enjoy hist posts. I hope he rests in peace.

[DirectorAbbie]

Is this really true? I'm asking because I noticed Jason, the person who started this thread, apparently has been banned?

Jason isn't banned (note the B is actually a German S). And I found the obituary online. I would love for this to be some sort of Canadian April Fool's Day prank. But it doesn't look that way.

[Jason]

Hey Guys.

Director Abbie, Hitta, lungs - I remember you guys.

Just wanted confirm since I'm sure you're all wondering, that Carlo/Raver died because of a brain aneurysm. He was on a trip in Las Vegas for a week with his girlfriend when it happened. He got a really big headache and then went unconscious in the ambulance; his girlfriend was beside him and holding him the whole time so he wasn't alone and she was saying he was having such a great time on the trip until that happened.

I hope he rests well in peace. The forum is a HUGE part of his life and I know he would be so happy knowing you all care about him so much.

I actually met him because of this forum. I noticed he said something related to Toronto (which is where we live) one time in the forum and told him I was from Toronto too. It turns out he was in the same university one day, so we met up (I stopped being active on this forum at around that time, and then fast forward 6-7 years till today).

At my birthday party in 2014 is where he met one of my other friends, who became his girlfriend, and they've been together ever since.

Here's a funny little video of him ordering food at my birthday two and a half months ago for us to remember him by!: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...3N?usp=sharing

Yeah, he was really healthy, nothing out of the ordinary.

I met and spoke with his father at the funeral. He said a few years back, Carlo went out for a run and hit his head really badly and has been having regular headaches ever since, I believe he said he went to the doctor afterwards, but noone really thought anything of it.

I'm not sure if that's related because it could be totally unrelated and he just bumped his head that time, but that's the only thing related to any head injury.

[DirectorAbbie]

He was on a trip in Las Vegas for a week with his girlfriend when it happened.

He was so close! I almost could have met him!
