Title: JABRONISAUR, R.I.P. Forever Remembered.
Post by: daigong on July 13, 2009, 02:50:10 AM
Jabronisaur aka Tim Marks passed away about an hour ago. The time is now 6:30 PM EST. July 16, 2009. Due to complications of rare pneumonia.

(http://picroda.jphip.com/data/jphip6348.jpg)

I just got a call from his brother Chuck. He told him there was 5 pages of well wishes...and that he had the best time in the world with guys like us at JPHIP who share a similiar passion. He mother and father by his side.. He could not respond but he heard.

Forever Remembered Jab, you did all you could possibly could at Anime Expo. Brother, Moderator, HiPster 4 LIFE. We love you.

ANYONE GET SICK AT AX?? GIMME YOUR DOCTORS NUMBER NOW!!

Jabronisaur is in critical condition. on a respirator I got a call from his brother and they need to figure out what's going on. Any communication is necessary!!! PLEASE HELP!!

ETA:

We need to really pray pray for Jabronisaur, someone I can call my brother.

Basically, the last time I talked to Jab was last nite. He told me had been quarrantined for 3 days. Then got the call tonight and Jab's bro Chuck told me he had been rushed to ICU, he couldn't breathe on his own and they put the breathing mask on him (respirator? nebulizer?) His fever was at 104.

RIGHT NOW. A glimmer of hope. The breathing machine he's been on, the pressure has gone down. His temp has stabilized.

Already contacted a few peeps. Thanks so much, we really really appreciate it. And exchanged doctor info and hopefully they can get to the bottom of things. Props roddrommel of JPM (whom DroolBoy told me he got diagnosed with swine flu) but calling him earlier said he's better and going back home).

JAB GET WELL!! PLS!!

Oh no!

I wish I could do something to help, I didn't really get that sick so didn't see a doctor. Could be the swine flu. Didn't someone from another forum get it? Didn't help that he probably wasn't getting the proper nutrition that weekend like most of us.

Hope he gets better soon. You can do it jab!

I'm seriously thankful I didn't get sick, but it feels like I'm the only one. This is insane. I'll try to get in contact with one of my friend's she apparently got swine flu while there. Holy crap. Do they know if this is con related? Is it just escalated from a regular flu that he may've gotten? D: *worryworry*

All I got was a sinus infection.  No flu or anything, so I'm not sure I can help at all here. :(

Since I am so worried about jab and cannot talk without crying. since around this time last year I lost my mom to pnuemonia with complications.

Let them know they should check his kindneys, and check him for the MRSA bacterial infection... I hope they are giving him antibiotics if he has an infection.
Also he should be tested for any airborne fungal infection some allergens can be deadly...

I hope they are checking his lungs and any other organs like his stomach...

I really cant say much in irc, or say it outloud cause I can't stop crying....

the dr's should not rule out kidney failure. and check him for anything and EVERYTHING.. he could have had something pre exisiting or caught something on the plane...

I really hope they can get him better. my heart is breaking right now cause he is the sweetest guy..

Luv you jab, please get better.

If anyone remember me at the Tsunku panel, I was really sick and almost had go to the ER because the paramedic had a temperature reading of 103.8 on July 4. I went to the doctor three days later (and getting my brother sick) and it was only the flu, she ran tests to determine if it swine flu, strep throat, and other viruses but it came back negative. But, I am still coughing and just got on back on my regular eating diet (I didn't eat for a week, coughing too much, stuff in my chest, tiredness, sleeping all day, and etc). I had to cheat the system a bit and take some codeine cough medicine that wasn't prescribed to me (because it's a bad drug and docs don't like to give out codeine).

Jab, hang on buddy!  :heart: My prays are with you.

Talked to Jab's mom earlier.

He's still in critical condition.

They don't know what's going on with him, know it's a rare pneumonia. Treating with various anti-biotics for each case. Putting him in a comatose state to let the respirator breathe for him.

Basically, the respirator is pushing oxygen in, but he wants to cough up the stuff in his lungs and there is just all these tubes in his mouth. They did a Cat Scan too.

Talked to 2 of 3 doctors and they had strain of H1N1 but other unknown.

Could be all the travel, not eating well, lack of rest. One night, it was pretty cold in the room, forgetting to turn down the AC? Him being sick before arriving in LA.

Coming home, he Tried to tell his father about the trip but was coughing non-stop, even to DL the pics for the family to see. Thought it would just take a little rest, asprin for the headache. Then Jab told his mom, "gotta go the ER and get checked out." And there he's been.

Just meeting him in person was EPIC in itself. Like we knew each other forever.

His mom of course was very shaken and upset, and thankful so many people are behind him and his family.  Jab is an extraordinary human being, always caring about others.

WE MUST KEEP PRAYING FOR JAB'S SPEEDY RECOVERY.

I wanna give thanks to those just flooding the thread with thoughts and prayers. KEEP POSITIVE. Jab is a trooper, he's been through his ups and downs. Keep posting, so he'll be overwhelmed with AX Stories & RLD goodness when he gets back. Keep up the selfless acts of kindness towards new peoples. Who knows, Jab prolly pimped the JPHIP to em at AX!! :pimp:

This is how we do: JPHIP Style. Rally behind our Brother Jab with Positivity!!!

Mad props to Comrade and Do ME do ME for feeeeling that Positive JPHIP Vibe and posting their new adventures in the Fanfics section. Big ups to homies Masa, L-San, thatonezombie, and others for just going above and beyond in keeping those topics flowing. I really love how everyone has that H!P Groove back since AX!

Hey everyone.  I did get sick at AX -- started as a cold, then went to a one-day 103F flu after I got back to my sis' place after the convention.  No need for a doctors visit, even though my throat is still itchy and my nose still runny even today.  

Sad to hear what happened to Jabronisaur though.  I met him at AX and found him to be a great guy and a great MM fan (esp. Jun Jun).  I honestly hope I didn't pass him anything, and I wish him the best so he can get back on his feet cheering the ones we all adore.

Post by: nachdenki on July 16, 2009, 01:52:52 AM
Get well Jab!
Sounds like more than just serious, his condition.

The symptoms dai described kind of remind me of what I had during my last Japan trip and at home. On the last days I felt like I had fever or some temperature close to it (feeling dizzy etc.) and had to cough most of the time even having trouble falling asleep because of it, like something I never had before. Back at home I didn't have fever anymore but still had to cough like crazy. My mother said it was probably some dry cough and gave me some medicine we still had and I eventually felt better after a few days (my trip was prior to swine flu outbreak).
Seems Jab has something more serious though~ hope they figure out what to do against it

I was thinking... reading the reports... a lot of people got ill one way or another and I saw a few people comment that they didn't become ill at all.  The people who didn't become ill, did they perhaps sleep in some other hotel?  I'm thinking it's the air con that's to blame.  Air con can help spread illnesses.  Could it be Legionnaire's disease (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legionellosis)?  Just read the first few paragraphs, it sure sounds like it.

Mugen and I stayed in the same hotel room with jab and neither of us got sick, I don't think dai got sick either and he was rooming with us too.

A lot of people who got sick didn't make contact with each other outside of the con. I'm almost pretty sure it's some stuff that was being spread around the con grounds.

I was gonna take a break from JPH!P, for various reasons, but I don't think I can until I know Jab is ok.

Come on Jab, you can do it!

Jabronisaur aka Tim Marks passed away about an hour ago. The time is now 6:30 PM EST. July 16, 2009.

I just got a call from his brother Chuck. He told him there was 5 pages of well wishes...and that he had the best time in the world with guys like us at JPHIP who share a similiar passion. He mother and father by his side.. He could not respond but he heard.

Forever Remembered Jab, you did all you could possibly could at Anime Expo. We love you.

OMG! I'm in shock right now.

I read that he was getting better and was so happy and thought everything was going to be okay. I'm really shocked and stunned right now. Jab was one of the greatest members of JPH!P. He was always so kind and welcoming to everyone, truly a nice and great guy. He's going to be really missed. I know for sure I'll miss seeing him around the chatroom, and always cheering us DJ's on and supporting us, and greeting all of the newbies and making them feel so welcomed. Jab was one of the first members I got to know 3 years ago, and he's been one of the best people I've gotten to know here. I'm really going to miss him. God bless him and his family. My sincerest condolences  :heart:

Still on my iPhone but at least my thoughts are gathered...

Jab was, no is, one of my favorite peeps off of JPH!P. Ever since I moved out of my moms crib, I've been MIA from jphip cos adulthood sucks... But no matter how long I'm away, Jab always welcomed me like I had never been gone at all. He made me feel back at home when I revisited the irc and forums. The last two PMs in my inbox are from him... Talking to me about Doctor Who.

I'll miss you, Jab. You made JPH!P still feel like home... No matter how long I've been gone...

You're one of the family, Jab. Always and forever.

My condolences to his family and all his loved ones.

I really wish my second post didn't have to be for such circumstances. It was great being able to meet and hang out with you in L.A.. Though the times with you were brief, chit-chatting during the MM breakfast....after you got to talk with Jun Jun....let's not forget Aichan.....oh, and Koha, Lin Lin, and Aika.....*still jealous!*, having lost my bracelet after the MM departure without hesitation you gave me yours for the group picture, all the group dinners/hang outs...karaoke....it was truly an unforgettable week and I'm glad that you were a part of it.

Although I don't know him as well as a lot of people here do, it's still very shocking news.

RIP Jab
All the best for you on the other side

And condolences to his friends and family.

Man, I remember him from the JPM days.  He was a long time fan.  RIP man, can't forget a name like that.  I hope everyone else who got sick will get better soon.

Wow... I've been lurking in the forum for a few months now, and it's terribly upsetting that something like this is what has pulled me out of my lurking cave.

I never really talked with him here on jphip, but I'm sure I must have met him (however briefly) at Hello! Party (seeing as I was at the welcome booth).

My deepest condolences to all of his family and friends. My prayers go out to all of you (and him as well). May he rest in peace.

I just can't believe this. I called Daigong as soon as I saw his post in Facebook, and I couldn't believe it... After I hung up, I haven't been able to stop crying. It's unreal. My friends took me to their apartment to be with me and I've been talking to them non-stop about Jab and all the great memories I have of him.

To think that I'll never see him greeting me "LA REINA!" on the irc again, and that I'll never get to have another one of those long meaningful talks we used to... it just breaks my heart. I've known him for so many years, since my days on JPM more than 5 years ago. I never thought one day he'd be gone.

Last year he was coming to PR to celebrate my birthday with me and Daigong, Asmo and Kuno_Thunder, but in the end he wasn't able to come to due to a family tragedy. Even then, he gave me a surprise phone call on my birthday, and it made me so happy!  That was exactly 1 year + 1 day ago. I can't believe I won't get another chance to see him.

Even though we didn't get to meet in person, we became really good friends, and he has a really special place in my heart. He was always there for me when my grandpa died, just as I was always there for him when his brother passed away. He was a great guy with a huge heart. I can't believe that I have to write in past tense about him... I'll never forget my great friend Jab/Tim.

My friend must be in heaven now... I will now pray for his family, who also had a terrible loss last year, and now must be going through the hardest times... May God give them all the strength to get through this together.

I miss you already JABBY!!! (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/Minimonique/emoticons/heartpix.gif)

I just got off the phone with Daigong too, I got the text and I thought it had to be a mistake.

At AX, my feet were hurting so bad, and he helped me. He stayed with me. He hung out when everyone else left because he said he didn't want me to have to be by myself. He was so nice to me. He gave good hugs. He was so excited that he got to talk to Junjun in person. He was just so...he was really happy.

He was fine. And now he's not fine. And I can't believe it.

Well wishes for his family of course. And that includes us. We were part of his family too. He'll be missed like crazy.

I gotta stop this, crying too hard.

Jab was just an awesome human being. One of my last and best memories of his kindness was when just before Anime Expo, he said to me in IRC:

<Jabronisaur> is there anything in particular you want signed by Ai-chan (within reason lol)

I had no chance of attending the Expo, and I had never even mentioned wanting anything at all. Initially I thanked him for the offer, but refused. What use would I have for a signature? I'm not the collector type. I have to have a practical use for everything. I didn't really think about it more than that. It was a gut reaction.

And Jab is disappointed, he seemed so eager to do it. About two minutes later I completely change my mind, having thought the thing through. As long as it's something I can put on a wall or something, like a photo. But it'd be nice if it wasn't just any photo, but something I really liked.

So he starts creating a custom photocard for me, making it look official and shit. No-one would know the difference. And all his efforts made me feel bad about my initial reply to him. In the end, after he's tried several times to print it out and get it just right... his printer gets borked or something. He said he'd try to find a printer at LA or something, while I just tell him it doesn't matter what he gets signed.

After reading about the chaos throughout the signings at the Expo, I was too scared to even ask him about it when he returned. The effort he put into it alone was enough for me. And he actually did get a pic signed for me and said he'd send it to me. That's Jab, going the extra mile. That's a friend.

...

Think I'm just trying to babble shit out of my system. I just wish I had met him in person. I don't remember feeling this empty in a long time, devoid of something. Another person I cared about is gone.

Rest in peace, Tim. You've deserved it.

I haven't been around jph!p that long, but Jab was always someone that I could talk to and we always got along. He was there to help me when I had technical problems, or just answer some of my crazy random questions. We had just skyped for the first time a few weeks ago... He always listened to pika and I's radio show and always offered suggestions and requests. It's going to be lonely without him.

RIP Jab, we're going to miss you a lot!

This is so shocking.  Unfortunately, I haven't had the honor of meeting Jab, but nonetheless it's very sad to hear the news.  At least some of this last fun moments were with his JPH!P family and MM.  It's good to see all the support for Jab; he is and will forever be loved.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all his friends and family.

Jab's one of the friendliest guys here in the forum and in the chatroom, he'd be one of the people who'd greet when I drop by occasionally.

After reading the posts of the people who met him, I'm sure that he's a genuine nice guy and a good friend in real life.

Rest in peace Jab. We're gonna miss you. Thanks a lot for touching our lives.

You were very friendly to me when we finally met...and even before that, you were great to chat with in IRC. Although we had talked a few times, the way you "projected" yourself made me believe you were like an older brother to me. You were a nice person to everyone and would've been a great person to hang out with and just talk.

It will never, EVER be the same going into IRC without:

<Jabronisaur>LIMIT!

I will surely miss that. It was an honor to have met you...it was an honor to have shaken your hand...it's an honor to be acknowledged by someone as great and loving as you.

JAB!...Rest In Peace.

Hi, I'm from JPM but I had the pleasure of meeting this fellow Junjun fan at AX (I didn't know he was Jab until way after he got sick, as he introduced himself to me as "Tim"). He was a wonderfully sweet guy and the people he was with were also really nice. I'm sad that I didn't get to know him better, but happy to have met him before he passed on.

I wish there was someway to let the girls know how luckt they are that he chose to meet them as his final act on Earth...

R.I.P Fellow Junjun fan. You will be missed most dearly.

I was not very close to him and never meet him in person but from the times we chatted in the irc i can tell about how great person, friend, partner he was... man i remember when he dedicated me a few songs in spanish in his radio show. You know, i was going to ask him if he was planning to make a comeback to the radio... JAB! you will be missed and remembered for ever. QUE PASO HOMBRE, ¡¿POR QUE TE FUISTE TAN TEMPRANO?!


My condolences to the family, i can't imagine how much pain is to lose a son at an early age so all i can say is that i am deeply sorry for your lost. God Bless.

I regret not being able to message him one last time. >_<

To tell him that he was pretty epic. I've said it before, but I wish I could have said it again. *sigh*

I just wish I would have known he was sick at least... Maybe I could have sent him one last message...

Welcome to everyone coming in here for the first time, its great to see everyone coming in here to show their love.

All I can think about when I think about AX is how I spent so much time concentrating on how I was gonna surprise everyone.  Jab wasn't with the main group, he was with Flyp and a few others at the dealer room when I bumped into him.  I remember pulling him aside and having a little heart to heart with him.  I told him how sorry I felt in 2008 about going to Florida and NOT getting a chance to see him, mainly because of conflicting schedules.  I told him that I knew it was just a matter of time before we saw each other in real life, it was too close last time, and that we just had to make a positive decision later on.  And that's why I chose not to skip out on this year's meetup.  The picture that daigong, SexyBeam, and I took was in his honour, and I'm glad we saw and took the chance when we saw it.

Then as a bunch of us were waiting outside the dealer room just chillin on the floor, Jab said that he had bought two Platinum 9 cds, just for the chance to get a JunJun card, which I can't remember if he actually did or not.  He asked me if I had one, and I didn't.  He just GAVE me one.  "Here ya go, man, enjoy."  I said "oh no, not like that" and I gave him $20.  He tried giving it back, but told him that he was just going to have to buy me a drink next time we met.  Then he said "Dude, I'd have done that anyway."  Later on, he tried saying in IRC that he owed me a MM card, but I reminded him of that drink.  I don't mind paying for those two drinks myself, I'd do anything for the good peeps of jph!p no matter when or where.  All I can think of now is his reuniting with his brother who passed away last year, I hope they can be together somehow.

Jab man, those pizza slices were more delicious in your presence, despite the insane difficulty I had in ordering it.  Every SUPREME pizza from Domino's I ever order is gonna remind me of you dude.  As well as all the other amazing influences you had with everyone here.

Geez that took a long time to write.  I'm sure more will come to me later, when I've sort of recovered somewhat.

I gotta admit, I didn't know Jab very well. To be honest, I only had spoken my few words to him when he would start casual chats with me at the irc. I enjoyed his friendliness and his subtle jokes.
I don't know much about Jab 'cept that everyone liked him and that he's contributed a lot to JPHIP. So I can only imagine good things about him.

I wish I had known earlier before acting like nothing has happened all over the forum :x. Jab, I'm sorry I didn't get the time to know you better. Condolences to your family and may the Lord be with you.

Even though I haven't been posting, I've been definitely keeping tabs on this thread in my lurker way.  Though I'm not a person of any organized faith, there are times that I find too many coincidences surrounding a single moment to make me wonder if there isn't something karmic happening:

I've only been lurking on jphip for a little over half a year now, and focusing on IshiYoshi stuff, and I don't do IRC.  So I never crossed paths with Jab in any significant way to my memory.

I remember meeting him at the bowling alley for AX and when he introduced himself.  I was thrown off because I didn't realize he was saying his alias rather than an easily recognizable first name, (and the loud music and chatter contributed to my momentary confusion.)  And that was the most of our encounter for the rest of the trip, since I tend to stay lone wolf and do my own thing.

After AX, I realized I became an Aika fan because she was absolutely cute and adorable.  So I checked out her official thread on this board to get a sense of other peoples' take on her and I came across this posting by Jab:
http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=7305.msg582465#msg582465 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=7305.msg582465#msg582465)

I was truly impressed.  Enough to think about responding, and even putting a Thanks (both of these acts really being very rare for me.)  But, as usual, I got distracted and moved on to other things.

A couple of hours later, when I revisited the board, Dai posted the alert about Jab being deathly ill.

Then to see the posting of his passing.  (Dai, again, thank you for including me in the text blast.  I guess I really am part of the jphip  family in a second or third cousin kind of way.)

And now, well...  everyone has posted better words than I ever could on Jab as a person.

It's a moment like this that reminds me of my own brush with an intense illness several years ago that has permanently changed my perspective that life is will always seem very short no matter how old you are.  So always make the most of it by looking forward, and by cherishing the lessons and memories (and people) you encountered to form who you are now.

JABBY!!!! *huggles* You're greetings were larger than life, and so was your personality :heart:
Since you've been sick, you've been in my thoughts every single day & I always wake up to come and see if there was new info on you getting better... As much as I feared this, I never expected it!

So much support & love radianted from Jabby all the time, and even when he put his mod hat on and had to tell u to do something, he did so in the nicest way possible & always with warmth. The IRC won't be the same again, not with such an important brother missing.
I never got to speak to him after AX :( but god I couldn't be happier that he got to meet JunJun (and the other girls) & even if he didn't realise it, I'm sure he made a mark in Jun's life by showing the fan he was!

Forever he'll be loved & cherised, our Jabby <3 Sending all my love & condolences to his family, friends and everyone here who was close to him. Its time like this when u realise how important things in your life are & Jabby would want us to remember that!

J-Man, I WILL get that fic that I promised you finished one day... I really wish I'd done it soon but I know you'll be watching over us anyway & it will give you something to do when we're all being boring viewing... Love & miss you :heart:

JAB!

It's always the good ones that have to die...

My condolences to Tim's family & friends. I can't even imagine how bad you feel right now.

I have known Tim for a few years and he's without a doubt one of the nicest people I have ever met online. He also truly cared about his friends. I had a wisdom tooth pulled out a few months ago and he would always ask me if I was feeling alright whenever we met in the chatroom. Now that's what I call a true friend. Tim was also a big part of the Crackstaff and it was real a pleasure working with him. I could always rely on him whenever I needed help and he was full of ideas how to improve our community. That man truly loved JPH!P and his fellow HiPsters :hipheart:

After laughter comes tears...

Jab had been going through some hard times lately and I was really happy for him that he got to meet fellow HiPsters and Morning Musume at AX. I never could have imagined that the amazing AX adventure would have such a tragic ending... :cry:

Jab, I'm gonna miss you bro and I promise that you will be remembered as long as JPH!P is alive :jphip:

I just spent the last couple hours crying, talking with my mom, and thinking about my bro Tim.  I'm still having problems finding words right now, I've never been good at expressing my thoughts and emotions, but I'll try my best. Sorry for the disjointed writing, my mind's not working well ^^;;

I'm so grateful I got to room with him in LA.  When the announcement was made about MM coming to A-X and I started making plans to travel, I asked him if he wanted a roommate, and he was more than happy to room with me, thank you Jab! What keeps coming to mind was how kind he was to everyone at A-X.  First met him IRL at the In-n-Out, gave him a big hug like I had known him my whole life.  Getting autographs for other Hipsters that couldn't make the trip was a high priority for him, constantly thinking of others.  Whenever we'd talk about the autograph sessions he talked about "I still need to get autographs for so-and-so!"  He got up super-early to get over to the 2nd autograph session.  He was constantly doing drink runs for us in the hotel, buying me sodas because I was broke the first two days.  He and daigong left the charity auction early to walk back to the hotel with me when I had to leave for the airport, and we had some epic picture moments, including one last jab and flip, this time captured forever by dai's camera.  

Jab, my man, you are one of kindest,  most caring dudes I've ever met.  You'll be in my heart forever, man, and I'll always think to myself, What Would Jab Do?  Jab's spirit will live on forever, because he's changed my life for the better.  I'll be expecting you to flip me over when I see ya on the other side, man.  I love you, brother, I'll never forget you!

I didn't really know Jab personally, but I've always known him to be an active member in this board. He was pretty much O.G. I'm
sad to know that he wont be here anymore.

My condolences to his family & friends. I'll pray for for them as they are going through this difficult time.

I think that first I must apologize for not knowing Jab well - unfortunately due to my extended lurker status here. His presence could definitely be felt, even if you didn't know him. I don't feel right saying anything after everyone who knew him, but something was drawing me out of the shadows to say something - anything.

Rest in peace Jabronisaur. The H!P fandom and everyone you came in contact with will surely miss you. And while I am not a religious man by any stretch of the imagination I will definitely keep your family and your second family here and elsewhere in my thoughts and prayers.

The fact that he got meet the girls he loved so much is comforting, as sad as things are.

I didn't know Jab for long and I joined JPH!P after AX.  But when I met him after the concert and hanging with Aewen and Limit, I found out Jab was easy to talk to, even though i didn't do a lot of talking at first.  He just seemed like an esay going guy, and after reading most of ur comments I was right.

Rest easy Jab, everyone here will miss you.  My condolences to his friends and family. RIP.

I'll be honest, I've never posted on here very much and I don't think I ever even interacted with Jab at all, but whenever I think of jphip, I've always thought of two people: Daigong and Jabronisaur.  Now that he's gone, this forum is always going to feel half-empty... 

RIP, Jabronisaur.  I'm off to play "Ame No Furanai Hoshi De Wa Ai Senai Darou?" in your honor and memory.  Maybe I'll get to know you better in the next life...  :cry:

Jab is one of the coolest cats around, so easy to get along with, a great fic writer, and it's a shame he passed. His family must be going through grievance so my thoughts are with them as well. Jab will be missed, damn missed- from his contributions to the forums to our hilarious convo's in chat; there wasn't a PM he sent me that didn't cheer up my day!

Which reminds me about our deadliest warrior high, we were joking around about doing a morning musume vs. snsd version, and jab actually photoshopped pics, DEDICATION:

So I've had a while to think about it now, got a chance to sleep on it, spent most all night yesterday feeling sad/angry, feeling like it was our fault, or that we could've done something, but I know that's not how Jab would want me to think. I'm happy I became active again on JPHiP long before this so that I could get a chance to talk to him again, and even see him at AX. He is an even better person IRL than in IRC, and I'm happy that I got a chance to hang out with him those 5 days in LA. Even though it was such a short time on paper, it felt like forever actually being there, and I know we all had a great time.
As mentioned before, he got to meet MM and his favorite member, Jun Jun, and even got to talk to them over breakfast. He's a hardworking member of the staff here at JPHiP and it really just sucks that he won't be around anymore. I've known of him since the JPM days and talking with him during the early days of JPHiP, and it's really difficult to accept this. Like limit and a few others said, it's not gonna be the same going into the IRC without seeing Jab and the all caps exclamation of your name.
Everyone's said it already, but I'll say it again, he is probably one of the nicest guys you'll ever have gotten to meet, and I'm happy to have met him. So now, I just gotta realize that he wouldn't want me crying all day, haha, so gotta toughen up and think about all the good times with him. Maybe I should stay away from JPHiP, it seems every time I'm here for a good while, something happens to someone... lol

Anyway, I'll be heading down to FL in a couple weeks, hopefully I will be able to see his family personally.

Jab, you're a great friend, an even greater person, and you'll always be remembered by your JPHiP family! We love you~ :jphip:

At least he got to meet MM, especially Jun Jun.

Just can't stop thinking about him, about his last moments of happiness in AX...

I would say that he IS the real personification of this forum's spirit...
It could be quite lapidary for me to say that... but I've read every posts here and what is really shown about him is his real kindness and devotion.

As I said, I didn't know him but I'm feeling really sad and really defeated.

I can imagine the intense sorrow of people who met him... the sorrow of his friends and family.

I'm really sorry... but the despair has grown up all the day and I needed to write it down here...

I'm feeling orphan just now... and it shows me that even if I'm very far away from lots of you people, all the time that is spent here is like gold.
Let's just this gold never fade... for Jab's memory.

Still on my iPhone but at least my thoughts are gathered...

Jab was, no is, one of my favorite peeps off of JPH!P. Ever since I moved out of my moms crib, I've been MIA from jphip cos adulthood sucks... But no matter how long I'm away, Jab always welcomed me like I had never been gone at all. He made me feel back at home when I revisited the irc and forums. The last two PMs in my inbox are from him... Talking to me about Doctor Who.

I'll miss you, Jab. You made JPH!P still feel like home... No matter how long I've been gone...

You're one of the family, Jab. Always and forever.

I have been off and on here at JPHIP, last year when I was on a lot and checked out some of the JPHIP Radio and IRC, I had the pleasure to chat with Jab, it was great, he was into the anime music that I was and I uploaded some stuff for him to play but I missed his next show so I didn't quite get to hear him play it....... but talking with him and reading his posts were always a pleasure, it was great to know Jab. May Jabronisaur aka Tim Marks Rest In Peace. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. We Miss and Love You Jab!

I see I need to keep up with things better. I haven't checked here since yesterday sometime...

Comrade's post reminded me of how Jab was one of the "founders" as I like to think of them of our H!P fanfic community back on JPM all those years ago, and I read all his fics back then too, through when he came here as well. Unfortunately I didn't talk with him too much since then except those rare times I would drop by the IRC, and even though I met him at AX I didn't talk with him much there too. I now rather wish I would have, with all the great things everyone's saying about him. Some things did make an impression though... like his JunJun/jabronisaur t-shirt he wore over there, or the karaoke they belted out in our last gathering.

I've been distressed by all the tales of how people seemed to get sick from AX, even myself a little although thankfully it hasn't developed into anything serious, but to hear that it actually claimed the life of someone we all knew...

As everyone else has said, R.I.P Jabronisaur - this thread is great evidence of how much you will be missed around here. :hipheart:

Oh no...no...

When I first saw this, I didn't cry or do anything, just sat and stared straight ahead...then I started to cry, soft, then harder.

I was so sad that I went and sat inbetween my mom and big brother and cried on their shoulders, I haven't cried this hard for a very long time. I didn't even cry when my biological father died, but for Jab...

I don't have many friends...so I hold each of those that I do have VERY close to my heart, you guys on the forum and the few I have in real life mean the world to me.

Oh no...no...

When I first saw this, I didn't cry or do anything, just sat and stared straight ahead...

That's exactly how it was for me at first... I was playing around on Facebook with my friend and then when the main page refreshed Daigong's post appeared... At first I said just that, "Oh no, no, no... It can't be...". My friend asked "what?" and I could barely reply, I was in shock and disbelief. I was also chatting with tenkei on msn at the time, and hadn't seen the bad news... my hands were shaking as I typed it to him. Then I ran out of the lab and called Daigong, and he told me everything he knew. When I hung up with him, that's when I broke down crying.

It still feels like it can't be true. As Tris was saying last night, we just keep hoping it's only a horrible joke and that he'll suddenly show up on IRC, and at first we'd be upset coz it was such a bad joke, but eventually everything would go back to normal... Can't help wishing for that to happen.  :(

Damn it, Rei-chan made tears come out again. XD Catching up on this thread from yesterday reading everyone's replies, I was trying to hold them back. Been trying to keep positive today since the moment I heard the news I have just been so sad and so angry. I was angry at myself and everyone, thinking we didn't do enough for him, thinking I should have done something while he was there, standing next to me. It's hard to believe someone I was physically standing next to the other week is gone from this world. Now that I've been able to think about this more and calm down, I wish to say something more than my little sentence a few pages back.

I've known Jab since I've been a fan of Morning Musume and Jpop, since my days @ JPM. He's one of my oldest acquaintances from the jpop community, and one of the few that I still kept some contact with from those years. He was always such a nice guy and always so friendly. From all the nicks people have called me here, he was the only one that called me Streaker. I remember every time I would go on the irc and he was there, he would greet me with a, "STREAKER" :lol: He was an awesome guy and an awesome friend. But regretfully, I have never been that close to him, even though he was always there. A part of of me wishes I could just go back and get to know him better, while I could. But I know, even though I won't be able to speak to him or see him, he will always be here with us. He will and forever will be part of the JPH!P family.

RIP Jab. Condolences to all his loved ones.

Jab is one of the coolest cats around, so easy to get along with, a great fic writer, and it's a shame he passed. His family must be going through grievance so my thoughts are with them as well. Jab will be missed, damn missed- from his contributions to the forums to our hilarious convo's in chat; there wasn't a PM he sent me that didn't cheer up my day!

Which reminds me about our deadliest warrior high, we were joking around about doing a morning musume vs. snsd version, and jab actually photoshopped pics, DEDICATION:

JABBY. I'm not a religious person,  but during times like these I tend to believe in 'spiritual' stuff. So big ups to you JAB, hows the view up there?! Better be good cause I'mma do a deadliest warrior marathon in your honor!! And LIZARDMAN? wth shield and sword?? cmon' DUDE. this ain't rome no moar! Everyone knows CROCMAN pwns with his AK-47 SON! shoot just toss a 5$ footlong into the middle of the ring and call it a day amirite?

JAB. I will always remember you- from your humbleness to your JunJun banana fandom. Thank you for being a part of my life!

Welcome back Meow.  I was hoping someone had links to these pics, he asked me about SNSD's names and stuff for a project that he wanted to do, and he let me in on this little secret.  He wanted to whip this bad boy out with epic proportions, and said to me a few times "SNSD has some great choreography, and some great legs." lol.  Ah Jab, always gonna make me smile. :)

Saw this, and was surprised that he didn't put Junjun as "close range". :P


I had to step away yesterday. Tried to distract myself with doing shit around the house (which is a rarity for me), catching up on watching some videos that I had DL'ed but hadn't gotten to yet, , and going out with a buddy to look for garage reno supplies and for a bite to eat afterwards. I think the initial shock is gone now for me, but like many here, the sentiments of disbelief, anger, "it's not fair" and "please let this be a joke" still resonate pretty strongly.

For many of us, meeting MM was a prime goal of the AX trip. While that obviously will continue to remain a highlight for many of us, the same was true about the opportunity to meet up with one another and for many of us, finally be able to see the faces behind the names that we see on the forum and in IRC. The thing about Jab was that regardless of whether you'd been a member for years, months, or even just a few days/weeks, he was one of the first to welcome you in and try to make you feel like a part of the family here. During the actual meet up at AX, one could see that there were a couple of awkward moments when people who'd known one another for years online actually met face to face for the first time. With Jab that didn't happen. With Jab, it was like the whole trip was a big high school reunion and he was always one of the first to go "HEEEEEEEEEY!!" and give you a hug or handshake.

I'm still mentally replaying that last hug he and I shared after we left the karaoke joint. I'm still mentally replaying when we arrived at the Hello!Party and immediately went for the Junjun sticker name tags they had. I'm still mentally replaying the roller-coaster of the concert when he almost got kicked out of the concert because his ticket fell out of his badge holder. I'm still mentally replaying when we first introduced ourselves just prior to MM's Q&A panel and the big-ass smile we both had as we got all fanboy-ish. 


Jab, forever remembered, forever awesome, forever JPH!P.

I'm not religious, but I just hope when I pass away, whenever that be that I get to see Jab again. Goodbye bro, I know I'll see him again, R.I.P brother, see you later on... :'( :'( :'(

Took me 48 hours, after seeing Daigong's post about Tim's death, to gather strength to write

I did not meet Jab in real life, because at last minute I had to cancel my trip to LA. But I met Jab here, and we talked several times. He was one of the kindest persons, and I'm glad his dream of meeting JunJun came true before this.

Jab, my friend.....this place feels a little lonelier without you

I posted this cap in Yuri's SNSD thread some time ago, and I thought everyone would get a kick out of it.  I was checking out some Yuri pics that Tama posted a few months back and according to pbucket, Jab looks like her.  Definitely alot of sexiness there, that's for sure.  :jphip:

My dearest sympathy to all those who loved him. I hope looking back at the great memories will comfort your sorrow. :cry:

Even though our paths crossed only a few times on the forums he always stood out in my mind as one of the true JPh!per icons. It's really moving to hear that he was as warm, friendly and selfless irl as he was online.

One thing I remember is his usrename always struck me. :lol: And it seemed like he was one that had always been around, one of the O.G. Actually I'm sure that somewhere, wherever he may be, Jab is still doing his thing. Always. JABRONISAUR FOREVER! :jphip:

It's taken me a while to know what to say because I am still struggling with this (I'm still crying about this days later).  I joined JPH!P at my friends urging because I happen to like chat rooms.  I never really have listened to j-pop before (even though Sara's been making me cds of it), and one of the first people to greet me when I joined was Jab.  Even though I told him I was a complete metal-head, he said it didn't matter and I laughed.  When I happened to mention that the year was for shit so far for me, he asked me why and I told him about my aunt (who's been in the hospital since my 30th bday January 31st).  From then on, every time I popped in IRC, he'd ask me how she was doing, or about my own health (as I've been sick a lot).  He was always one of the first one's to greet me and it always made me smile.  When he needed someone to pick him up from LAX for Anime Expo weekend, I was happy to go pick him up.  Sara and I had a hard time finding him (his picture on here was kinda grainy), I told Sara to tell him to look for the 2 chicks with the big boobs and I could hear his laughter through Sara's phone!  When we walked outside, still trying to find him, I turned around and saw him, pimping JPH!P with his shirt!  And the first thing he did was walked right up to us and hugged the hell out of us.  Even though he didn't say it in as many words, I could tell that he was excited as we were to finally be meeting JPH!Psters in person.  When we told him that we needed to run a few errands before we met up with everybody at LACC, he was happy to join us (and yes tenkei, this was where we "kidnapped" him).  When I mentioned to Sara that I was hungry, he offered to buy us lunch (and he did :) ).  We had a great time talking to him on "day zero".  When we were all sitting outside waiting for the concert to start, he was visibly happy and was talking with all the JPH!Psters, passing out glow sticks.  I came back on Sunday by myself, wanting to hang out with y'all one more time before everybody went home.  When I took him back to the Mayfair to drop off the Hangry & Angry poster, he walked me back to my car and gave me a big bear hug.  "Thanks for coming" he said.  "I hope to see you and Sara again soon.  Make sure you text me when you get home so I know you got home okay."  Even though I didn't know him for that long, he was always looking out for everybody.  I was touched by his constant thoughtfulness.  I feel honored to have met him, but even more so to have met him in person.  When I first read that he had passed, I had my nephew in my room with me and I had to struggle very hard not to cry in front of him.  As soon as my brother picked him up, I started crying in earnest.  Jab was such a bright light for all of us, and it just kills me to know that he was taken from us so soon.  He will be greatly missed by all of us here, and I know he will be watching out for us from above, laughing at all our funny discussions, still being there when we're sad or not feeling good and cheering us on in our accomplishments.  WE WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU AND THINK OF YOU JAB!!!  YOU'RE THE MAN!!!!!

It was really shocking to hear than someone died let alone from a place where we all had been. I don't think we have met even at one of the jph!p parties for AX but I have seen his posts and all the same, we'll miss you man.

It is not too late. I can't even formulate thoughts to words, but I will do it ASAP to find some peace of mind. If you haven't already. Please use the sigs in the first post, or just jack em off me.

Getting off my emo ass and going ahead with The Jab Tribute. I wanna thank arian for the forum banner. Crack Staff for being so swift in JABifying the forum. The JPHiP DJs for their touching tributes. And all the peeps who have come near and far to pay their respects. It is truly appreciated. Even on 2ch. JPHiP really is all about breaking down the borders, cuz in the end, we love the same things.

Please send my regrets and heart to his family.

Rest in Peace.

Truly, a touching message. Thanks Greg aka OpsMonkey for buying those bananas for him. I remember how we were like "D'oh! Forgot em in the hotel, and we went to give it back to him."

I wanna give thanks to The Marks Family, for giving us such a great man in Tim aka Jabronisaur. We cannot fathom the pain you are going through. Chuck, thanks for keeping me informed. These have been trying times no question but we are there for you.

And to those who are struggling, with mixed emotions of sadness, guilt, anger. I feel you. Remember. The Bamboo Warrior, We will Bend, but never Break. Jab would want us to be POSITIVE and keep on fighting, never letting negative in. By following Jab's EPIC example, we will be stronger than ever.

You know. Putting these thoughts into words has been really difficult. But the time talking to the peeps. Reflecting on his shows and fics, the healing process begins. I remember homegirl tama's instant txt in response to the news was "Stay strong man!"

WERD.

The Soldier

If you have checked his profile, it says "Registered in 2007" but in fact he has been a member since the early 2005s. Probably lost when the site crashed. A big contributor to The Perv section and esp. when we had to duck The Feds (ah 2257) He made a livejournal account http://jabronisaur.livejournal.com/ (http://jabronisaur.livejournal.com/) just for our underground dealings.

We quickly hired him in the second half of 2005 and quickly added his own twist, keeping everything in check. Ange and him were gonna do some Shining Musume scanlations too at one point. Always his own harshest critic, he took a break ...but he came back with a vengeance though last year, seeing the vacancy and was ready and willing to be taking on both tasks of The Perv. He knew The Foundation and made sure we preserved it.

The JPH!P Moderator is a different kind of kat, and he took the task to heart. Making everyone feel special and welcome, no matter if you are a lurker or massive postwhore. To say he is the epitome of a JPHiPster is an understatement, he is the epitome of an extradordinary human being. Judging by all the responses from people who have seen him at Anime Expo, I need not explain further.

The way he pimped :hipheart: at AX, OMGASS. Meeting all the Morning Musume girls, giving Aika one our bracelets. He was in charge of handing out glowsticks and we got rid of those quickly. We shit talked about the people we met and he said "I can't wait to see the registration numbers after today!" Ironically, it was the day of his passing when we set our most online record. Seeing the new members posting, saying they saw and talked to Jab brings a smile to my face.

His service to JPHiP will never be overlooked and will forever be a Crack Staff. To continue his legacy we must.

The Brother

Jab made me a better man. Reeled me in when I got too crazy. Like when I played maliciel's karaoke hits for the millionth time, he got upset at me and let me have it, deservedly so. We always looked after each other. He'd check up on me after a draining week. I'd call him up when his computer would go bonkers.

Last year, he wanted to go with us to Orlando to meet Sexy Beam and Puerto Rico meet Rei-chan. Unfortunately, circumstances prevented it yet there he was, giving me and Kuno_Thunder tips on places to visit. He was the first person I called when I touched down, and lol told me to check in the hotel instead of checking out the booty. We kept him informed along the way as if he was on the trip.

As Sexy Beam mentioned, and in the sig she made up...we were walking through Universal rushing to the Spider-man ride before closing, when we stopped in our tracks. DAMN! That's the same Magneto in his pic in the Junks thread!! He later told me that photo we took meant the world to him, and that he got it framed. Like he was there with us!

That's why he made sure not to miss the LA Anime Expo 2009 trip. He was so excited, telling me he got a camera ready. Ready to pimp and recruit LOL. Before we went to LA, he told me on IRC:

<Jabronisaur> alright i'm outta here. wish me luck
<Jabronisaur> if anything happens to my plane, love ya bro

Right back atcha bro. :jphip:

Always thinking of others before himself, telling us to go have fun while he guards the Hangry & Angry poster from a shady limo driver. Getting autographs for hipsters who couldn't make it. The photo in the front page is him going "Hey! Masa loves Jolt Cola" and bought some to pose. Priceless.

This is JPH!P. And we Celebrate The Life of Jabronisaur. The Jab Tribute Project begins now:

http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=19786.0 (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=19786.0)

Keep posting your thoughts and prayers in this thread. The more we talk, the more we discover his influence on the vast web. We are sending our finest HiPsters to Tampa Area to pay our condolences to one JABRONISAUR AKA TIM MARKS. And to think, we were shit talking about a JPH!P Museum when we won the Hangry & Angry poster - complete with Hall of Fame members, a marimari wing. Damned that we have to build a Jabronisaur wing but that we will.

This is JPH!P, expect nothing less Brother.

JAB 4 EVA!!

So today I got a letter from daigong (thanks man!) with the autograph Jab got for me inside. I wrote about the whole ordeal earlier in this thread. Our original grand plan didn't quite go through, but that hardly matters.

Now I have the autograph of a girl I've been digging so much it's unhealthy, while it is an item with quite a sad story behind it. It's a bittersweet feeling, but it does make me smile.

Because most importantly, now I have something that'll always remind me of the awesome, kind person Jab was.

Thanks for those posts, daigong.  That is so nice of Yaz to send you that e-mail.  Tris-chan was saying in chat a few nights ago that she felt MM/JunJun should be told about Jab.  Maybe it'll get to them through Yaz.  Stryfe, bittersweet indeed, but a true treasure for life.

Let's celebrate his life the best we can.  Thinking up what I can for the Jab Tribute.

And on a personal note, I've been conflicted the past few days.  Obviously been down, and my mind's been wandering along the same path (Jab) when I'm not doing anything.  Or actually, even when I'm doing things.  I started to tear up while jogging a few days ago.  Trying to fall asleep is toughest.  I've been able to smile, laugh, and listen to happy music this weekend, but soon after, I feel guilty.  I know that people here are gonna say (and have been saying) that it's ok to feel what you're feeling, and that it's a confusing time right now.  I understand that in theory, but it's just hard to put it into practice.  I'm not searching for forgiveness because I know I haven't done anything wrong.  I guess I just want to share that, and maybe it can comfort anyone else who is feeling the same thing.  I haven't had to deal with much death in my life, and maybe some of you out there are like me in that respect.  I'll try to laugh and smile and not feel bad about it, because that's the Jab thing to do, and it's the best way to honour him.

I've meet  Tim back in college and we hit it off right away there were times that I will never forget that we shared  where we laughed for hours telling our other friends both Him and I came up with the catchphrase "Asian Hi" which meant that there was a beautiful Asian vixen close by and he would always egg me on to talk to one of em and sometimes i was too nervous to and others I crashed and burned after college i met my wife and out of our little group of college friend He gave me the most support when my first son was born he was there to lend me an ear because I was so scared that i was becoming a parent one of our favorite games we played together Constantly was Marvel vs Capcom 2 which he tried to understand how to pull off air combos but When Soul Calibur was on the screen it was all over no one could beat him when he was Lizardman /sophithia everytime that he came to visit it was always a good time . whenever i felt down about the many unfortunate things that keeps happening  to me He always taught me to look on the situation in a lighter fashion
when i got the news from chuck that he passed I felt like I didnt just lose a friend but I lost a brother R.I.P Tim I love you and I'll never forget you. Thank for all the Precious memories

-mastergodai- 


For all his online friends Im currently making a webcomic  loosely based on our college days  that will be dedicated to him once it's completed   email me at mastergodai @yahoo.com for more details

It is not too late. I can't even formulate thoughts to words, but I will do it ASAP to find some peace of mind. If you haven't already. Please use the sigs in the first post, or just jack em off me.

Getting off my emo ass and going ahead with The Jab Tribute. I wanna thank arian for the forum banner. Crack Staff for being so swift in JABifying the forum. The JPHiP DJs for their touching tributes. And all the peeps who have come near and far to pay their respects. It is truly appreciated. Even on 2ch. JPHiP really is all about breaking down the borders, cuz in the end, we love the same things.

Just a quick translation of that post:

The poster wasn't sure if that was the right place to post, so he is sorry if isn't. He couldn't translate it very well, but summarizes that Jab passed away from a terrible illness after going to AX. Even though he never talked to Jab, he still feels sad. He has heard that many people who went to AX got sick afterwards and is worried.

Dang, my condolences, everyone.

I've never met the guy, however, reading everyone's testaments here, he seems to have been quite an awesome person.

And hell, anyone that likes JunJun is automatically awesome in my book.

ok, well i honestly didn't know Jab for a long time but it feels as if i lost a family member. We actually met @ anime expo while i was waiting in line to get my poster signed by morning musume. we ended up having a conversation about our favorite members and etc. then when it was time to part ways, i said we should hang out next time morning musume is in the US. Now, for me its hard to believe that Jab is gone and we won't be able to hang out. When i got the news about him passing away, i was really shocked and saddened by this.
In remembrance of him, I've decided to make a bumper sticker of his R.I.P. signature and slap it on my car. And me being a car guy, i don't really like stickers on my baby but this once I'll do it and leave it on there. Jab this is for you man. Rest in peace man.

I like that. Just convo in a lineup. Welcome AiloveTakitty, and all those who had a brief encounter with Jabby. I wonder if the cute girl he was talking to in the concert will appear lol, he'd like that.

Whoa. I had no idea you knew Jab IRL Mastergodai. I can't wait to see the webcomic. He most def was the great guy IRL for the short time that we were togther, I can't wait to hear more stories of The Legend of Jab!

Thanks Fen!! Japanese fans are really special in that regard, hoped my grammar wasn't too bad to translate.

Glad the photo made it to ya Stryfe. One of the first things I did for Jab when I came home....

Totally Comrade. I wanted to go to the No Doubt concert but just couldn't...I was too worried about Jab and that day, he ended up passing. Esp. guilty is that we left him alone in the hotel room that last Sunday....just gripping my brain. We coulda spend some extra hours with him but he was guarding the Hangry & Angry poster. But I can't be feeling sorry for myself. I have to be ready and supporting The Marks Family as they go through this painful times. And to all the other HiPstaz, let's talk it out. IRC, forum. Celebrate The JAB!

This was one of the highlights of the AX Trip, we're rushing back to the hotel to send Flyp off. When I was like! WAIT! Pose in front of the Westin where MM stayed! Then we were like WAIT! Do the CLASSIC....

And on a personal note, I've been conflicted the past few days.  Obviously been down, and my mind's been wandering along the same path (Jab) when I'm not doing anything.  Or actually, even when I'm doing things.  I started to tear up while jogging a few days ago.  Trying to fall asleep is toughest.  I've been able to smile, laugh, and listen to happy music this weekend, but soon after, I feel guilty.  I know that people here are gonna say (and have been saying) that it's ok to feel what you're feeling, and that it's a confusing time right now.  I understand that in theory, but it's just hard to put it into practice.  I'm not searching for forgiveness because I know I haven't done anything wrong.  I guess I just want to share that, and maybe it can comfort anyone else who is feeling the same thing.  I haven't had to deal with much death in my life, and maybe some of you out there are like me in that respect.  I'll try to laugh and smile and not feel bad about it, because that's the Jab thing to do, and it's the best way to honour him.

I really can identify with what you expressed. I have only really dealt with one death before, and ironically one of the friends who helped me through it most was Jab... These last few days I've been doing stuff to get distracted and positive, but then when something makes me feel happy I feel guilty. But I dunno, somehow I also get a feeling of peace, like something reminds me strongly that he'd be glad if I feel happy... So yeah, it's confusing, but in the end he'd surely want us all to remember him with happiness, so that's what I'm trying to do. Trying to smile every time I think of him, trying to imagine that he's around and that I can talk to him whenever... who knows how this works anyway? Maybe he is around watching everyone who's missing him. That's what I choose to believe...

It's been a very long time since I felt this sad and am still very sad to this day.

A friend sent me a very comforting PM, but when I opened it, the last 4 or so messages were from Jab, re-reading them....just made me break down again. It was nice getting PMs from him every now and then, just asking how I was and being friendly.

No ones done that much, even on facebook, livejournal or anywhere :cry: :cry: :cry:, but he always did.

Post by: TotallyUncool on July 22, 2009, 09:10:45 AM
Commie, daigong, and everybody else who's spokent of feeling guilty:  I think it's something which comes up frequently when you're dealing with the emotional effects of the death of someone close to you.  You get the questions:  Could I have done more?  What if...?  Why was it him instead of me?  Do I deserve to be alive now?

And you get the guilt over being happy, or enjoying life:  How dare I feel happy when he's dead?  How dare I dishonor him by laughing?  If I relax and go on with my life, won't I be forgetting him?

That's not easy stuff to deal with.  In people with severe post-traumatic stress, those questions, and the emotions associated with them, can be almost overwhelming, and even life-threatening.  But even if you don't have full-blown post-traumatic stress, dealing with those feelings can be very difficult and painful.

The bottom line is that it's not only OK to live your life and enjoy living  --  it's necessary.  We mourn the dead and treat them with love, with honor, and with respect, but we cannot let death invade life and take it over.  It's as important to live, and to enjoy life, as it is to mourn the dead; I think that in many ways, we can't really honor the dead fully unless we do give ourselves over fully to life.

This past weekend, I went to a memorial service for my uncle, and for one of his late wife's cousins.  They were both quite old when they died, but they'd lived large, full lives, and up until the end, they were both very much a part of the lives of those around them.  They were also both veterans of WWII, and the ceremony included military honors  --  a National Guard color guard, and a 21-gun salute by the local VFW. 

At one point, just before the ceremony, I looked up, and the two (young) National Guardsmen were flirting with the (also young) female VFW commander. XD  I smiled when I saw that, because it seemed so right  --  and I knew that my uncle and his wife's cousin would have both smiled, as well.  And I think that the rest of us who noticed it felt the same way.

We honor the dead by living life to the fullest  --  so when you laugh, laugh like Jab would have laughed, and he's there with you.

I've been avoiding posting in this thread because I'm visiting my brother (which I only get to do once a year) and it doesn't seem like the right time to think of something so sad when I'm supposed to be enjoying my visit and looking after my bro's cat. But now that it's been a little while, I feel like I can finally say something.

Jab was definitely a great dude, doesn't matter that we never met because I talked to him more than I do to people that I meet in real life. People in the jphip chatroom are automatically a huge part of my life and Jab was often there talking to everyone.

What I noticed about Jab was that sometimes I would complain about something in chat and he would say totally the wrong things that didn't make me feel better at all. haha But I couldn't really get mad at him because I know that he meant well and that he was probably trying to cheer me up, even if he failed. :lol: He was a very friendly guy and easy to talk to, and it will definitely feel weird without his FULL CAPS greetings! I remember that he was a Manoeri supporter like me, and I'll miss his cute fanboying.

I was already worried about him some time before AX, because he expressed worries about something related to his health. He visited a doctor and it turned out to be nothing, but still, when I heard that he was ill after AX, I had this feeling that maybe this time it was something more. I was really fearing to see the news of him passing, and unfortunately that's what happened. It really sucks and it's really sad.

Rest in peace, Jabsta!

I was seriously considering NOT posting anything in this.  I can't say that I'm very active here and I really didn't know him at all.  I was afraid that "jumping on the bandwagon" would in some way dishonor his memory to those people that knew him the best.  That isn't my intent at all.  However, he was a fellow fan; in that way, we've all lost one of our own.

My sympathies to his friends and family.  Rest in peace.

I'm back for my second post in this thread.. This is just a tiny little salute on my part to Jabronisaur and everyone who's grieving for him. I did a podcast for my blog's 100th post, and I dedicated a few minutes to him in it. This isn't to pimp my blog here or anything, but just a little thing to show my support and let you guys know I'm thinking of you all who feel his absence everyday. I couldn't think of a better way to give my respect than on my H!P blog as I share my love of H!P with others - seeing as the love of H!P is what brings us all together.

I feel I'm coming in a bit late and coming over from H!O and all...hum.

I was one of the girls sitting to the left of Jab during the concert. There was the short girl who had to stand up in her chair to see (Holly), Leah in the middle, and me at the end of us.  When I came in Holly and Leah were talking to him and I sat down and we just started having a conversation about MM.  He asked us which was our favorite member and we went down the line and he told us his was JunJun. Leah was surprised that JunJun was a big favorite in America. He offered us some stickers and glowsticks and I think Holly helped him hand out a few to the people in front of us.

Anyway, Holly turned to me and asked me what color went with Takahashi and I told her yellow. I turned away for a moment hearing Leah and Holly telling him that I had magically memorized the colors for each girl and when I turned around he asked me to tell him all the colors and I went through the list and then we stopped when I got to LinLin and wondered why there were so many different variations on blue and why LinLin had to be the odd blue color that you could never find....

I remember looking over once because Holly kept running down the line of seats she was standing on to talk to some AX staffer to explain that she was short and he was desperately looking for his ticket and was led out and then some of the guys further down found it...

He looked like he was having a great time and from the chat we had before the concert he seemed like a real sweetheart. And I was certainly shocked when I found out it was him that had passed.

So, I just wanted to jump over here real quick and say a little something. I never got to thank him for giving me a glowstick after my orange one wouldn't work and I was freaking-out.

Rest in Peace.

My heart still hurts when I think of Jab :cry: :cry: , such an awesomely nice guy he was...

But I'd also like to say THANK YOU to everyone here at JPH!P, I don't have anyone here to talk to about losing someone from this forum. So no one in town knows of this place or anything and I don't feel like crying to them about something they don't know about.

But you guys here all helped me get through it, I've stopped crying about it now for awhile. The pain in my heart is still there, but i'm able to manage it now. So thanks guys, being in the IRC chatting with you all is awesome. Thanks for comforting and helping this lonely soul get through such a tragic event.

R.I.P Jab, you were one of a kind :heart:

well, I finally got the chance to say something. I've stayed away from it far too long.

I only got to see him for the few minutes in LA. I have to be honest, I sometimes blame myself for not seeing him more. I was so angry about AX that I never got to enjoy my trip like I wanted to. I got to see him in the IRC a lot and sometimes, I may have ticked him off a time or two.

The thing is, the last night I was in dai's room and saw him in bed, at first thought, I thought he had drank too much or he was freezing from the AC.  Never did I think it would come down to this :(

When I heard the news of him passing away, I have to admit it that it never truly hit me until a day or so later. I realized that I blamed myself for everything, mainly because my pride had got the best of me again. Honestly, I'm not really good at saying how I really feel.

First of all Jab, if you are listening out there..I'm sorry. :cry:

I'm sorry I never got to spend enough time with you in LA. I've been eating myself up with it ever since you left and it'll stay with me for the rest of my life. Hopefully, you can forgive me if I see you again. :cry:

I just hope that I can live through your legacy as you had.

Rest in Peace Jab. Hope you're having fun on Junjun land(on the corner of Risaland with marimari)..tell him hi for me.

Hi kaprini! WOW Welcome!! We were those goofy homies of Jab: Ping, me, tenkei, Tris-chan, JFC, kuno_thunder. We were all seated two rows behind. You might have seen us exchange the glowstick bag. Or search frantically during the concert for his "lost" ticket as an AX Staffer quizzed him, along with poor Holly.

Please extend my warm greets to you, Holly & Leah to visit and chat with us anytime. Thanks for being great seatmates. We were all WITNESS to his great pimping skills  :pimp: hahaha I love that guy.

Thank you, Foxy.

I feel your pain Tyler. The mixed emotions still ring through, that I am not giving my all to Jab. It is so awesome to see the tributes that do go around, esp. in this thread. fanfics and on the radio. The places he thrived in. Jab, I miss you everyday homie.

We wanna give MAD PROPS to everyone who has been spinning tribute after tribute on the radio, Tris-chan, Rei-chan, OpsMonkey, tru_harmony, Pikapikapika, Mini*wheat, tenkei, Odango, Kuno_Thunder, Ping.

One thing Jab and I shared in common was our love of Konno Asami. Often, when I entered the chatroom, he'd greet me with "KonKon<3"

Sadly, I was upset over something he said in chat some time ago, and as a result, I stopped saying anything to him. Now, I regret that.

When I read he was ill, I planned to post some get well wishes, but I wasn't sure of the best thing to say. I intended to think about what to say and post later. I also was worried if I had the right considering how I acted toward him. Then, he passed away and it was too late. I've felt horrible since.

I'm sorry Jab. I hope you'll forgive me. R.I.P. and may there be an angel up there who looks like Konno.

CARP! <'>>>< :hipheart:

We will continue the legacy that Jabronisaur dedicated his whole life to. As Masa said let us "stay positive and keep his spirit alive."

It does not matter if you are his best friend or new member. Jab's influence trickles down to us all.

We will be closing this thread after the Jabronisaur Tribute Radio Show  (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=19855.0) cuz we felt it is time to smile again. That's how he'd want us to feel. It is optional to take off our sigs at the same time, I'm a rock it a bit longer. We will always remember Jabronisaur in our hearts. Let us continue the legacy that he has built with his selfless positive attitude.

The JPH!P Crack Staff declare that July 16th will forever be marked on the JPH!P Calendar as JAB! Day where we take the time to put up our sigs, play musics, write a few fics, and geek out. SHOW our Jabronisaur love.

On behalf of The Crack Staff, the entire JPH!P FAM, and Hello! Project fans worldwide - Thank you Chuck and the Marks Family for giving us a great human being like Jabronisaur into our lives.

Jabronisaur, our Guardian Angel! :hip angel:

Awesome Ping, way to rep JPH!P. There is no doubt we shall go as a group in the future. :jphip:

And there was also a message in my inbox from a fella whom I ran in at the airport, and also met in Seattle. Jab's impact was felt on him too.

To jphip.com,

Hello. I just found out that Jabronisaur aka Tim Marks just passed away. I would like to give my condolences to his family and friends.

I am desert_anime aka Rommel from H!O. I met many of you at MM@AX, especially on the last day at the airport after MM left. It was me who said that my all time favorite was Abe-san and when around the table asking your favorites. There was also another H!O member next to me that had his laptop with his all time favorite Tanaka-san as his laptop's wallpaper.

It's hard to believe that one of us passed away. I only meet him for a little while, so I don't know what to say or do, as I fellow fan, I will remember him and at my next concert (on August 9th) I will hold up JunJun's color glowstick and cheer for him, so as he can be there in spirit.

Again my condolences.

Take care.

-Rommel.

Still missing Jab every single day...
