We'd like to thank everyone for participating in patteeu's "leaving forever" thread.

Here’s the story: patteeu had a terminal illness and knew that his remaining time was short. He joked with a few of us who knew him about how it would be funny to post a "leaving forever" thread once he could no longer post. After he passed away, we thought it would be a nice tribute to give him that wish, so we impersonated him as a one-time thing to make this thread. We apologize for the temporary subterfuge, but wanted to give him a grand and sincere 1,000 post departure to push his Viking ship from the shore. Thanks for making it a great one! It was a perfect “leaving forever” thread.

We'll post a traditional RIP thread now, and salute an all-time great poster and person. I'm going to miss you, patteeu.

Sad

Jesus, he died. I'm a dick, I thought it was more of the usual drama around here. Sad deal. My condolences to his friends and family.

Love you too, Pawnmower.

Wait, so the op wasn’t actually Pat?

Wow. You guys did a great job impersonating his style. I really thought it was him.

Rest In Peace, Patteau. You will be missed.

This might be HOC worthy.

He has 2 daughters? :(

Might?

I’m a fan of understating things. I blame my British ancestry.

Couldn't have said it better myself. They got me but it was awesome.

Out of curiosity, did he provide the copy for the OP (or a part of it) or just the general idea to do it? Even having insider knowledge of the situation, it read like something he would post.

Wow. You guys. This might be the most epic thing ever on CP. God Bless Pat...

I don't find it epic at all.

I find it extremely sad.

Social media isn't social.

It's virtual.


RIP, brother.

Thankful I had the good fortune of meeting you in person.

The post that made it 1,000

It was Patteeu's idea when he knew the end was near. It worked out really well. It was fun. Didnt come off as a scam.He was leaving forever. He would have loved it.
