Just horrible news.Met him a few times and he was always really cool to me and my son. R.I.P.

Ah, for fuck's sake
I literally just heard about this via April & Derek on FB...

I never got to meet Rab in person, but from the few years I knew him on here, he seemed liked one down motherfucker who sincerely enjoyed the shit outta some music & most definitely loved his friends. It's a shame I never got the chance to meet 'em in person.

I know I fuck around quite a bit on here, but in all seriousness, you guys need to make sure you tell the ones you hold dear in your lives just how much they mean to you the next time you see 'em, if you don't already do so. You never know just what the hell's around the corner & Rab's the second dude for me who's passed on just this last week.

RIP, Rab.
Much love to you, your familia, & friends...

RIP Rob, wish I could have meet you in person.

Rest in peace, brother.

Wow, terrible news.....very very sad.

R.I.P. Rab.

What!!??

What happened?

RIP...

RIP, Rab. I read a lot more than I post, but Rab is an unforgettable personality.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends. Great dude who will me missed by more people than I can imagine. R.I.P. dude

I don't even know what to say. I only found out about an hour ago and all I have to say is 27 is way too fucking young and one should never have to bury their friends. RIP brother, you will definitely be missed.

What I heard was "massive heart attack". not surprising, we all saw it coming just not so fucking soon. dude was doing a great job shedding the pounds too.

What a shock. RIP to one of the nicest, funniest, most genuine people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He will be missed.

Bummer seemed like a great guy

Dang. RIP.

R.I.P. Rob!! I'm going to miss you, dude!!

Never met him but his posts always made me laugh. Seemed like a helluva dude. Very sad day for the Board.

Say hello to Dio for us buddy!!!

Oh, man. Way too young. You will be missed, Rab.

It's a bit late for that, dude.

You're so cool for pointing out typos, man. Everyone thinks you're the fucking Fonz. You win.

I only met rab once for about 30 minutes when I went to toronto. Dude fucking ruled. He had everyones attention the whole time. People swarmed to him. He was such a loving caring cool guy.

Rip buddy. Now I'm even more upset that my secret santa never reached him.

I just saw this on facebook! This cannot be. This has to be a cruel joke. I only met him once but you immediately knew who he was. From what I've seen of the guy from the years of being on here is that he never spoke ill of anyone (except Cronos) and was always looking towards the future. I'm just in shock really as he was way too young to die. From the looks of things he left a deep hole in a lot of people's lives and you can immediately tell the strength of character and zest he had for life. I only met him once and I feel deeply sad, I cannot imagine what others are feeling that knew him like a brother. RIP Rab!!

RIP. I didn't know him personally, but he was evidently a one-of-a-kind guy that, I am certain, would have been a blast to hang out with. My condolences to all of his friends and family.

Didn't know him personally but I really enjoyed his posts and I know he was a true keeper of the metal flame. This news saddens me.

R.I.P.

I just logged into Facebook and found out the news. Rest in peace, Rab

After sooo many years knowing him through this message board, I had the pleasure of meeting him at the David Gold Memorial concert. I snuggled up to him during the beautiful Musk Ox set..it was very spiritual. Planted a kiss on him as soon as I saw him...not knowing it was a kiss good bye.
You will be missed by many many people...immortilized for sure. XOXO

RIP Rab
