Thanks for letting us know. I'm actually very, very appreciative. I've often wondered what would happen if I were to die unexpectedly and the various friends I've made over the internet didn't know it but rather thought that I'd just gotten bored with them and left. I think that what you've done was a wonderfully kind and thoughtful gesture.

Here's to Frosty.

Even though I never knew Frosty, I am sorry to hear of his passing. As I myself just got out of Falluja about a year and a half ago and lost a lot of good buddies there, it pains me deeply to see any serviceman lose their life in this (many would say pointless) war. My deepest regards go out to his friends and family.

I recall how shocking it was when Shade passed away years ago, so to anyone in DSF who was a friend of Frosty's -- chin up and keep in mind that he is now in a better place, wherever and whatever that may be.

I don't know what happened to him, I only heard about it from a friend of mine who had talked to his mother. As I recall, he was in Africa somewhere when he got hurt and I don't know what happened after that.

I'm floored, just completely floored.

Frosty, You'll be missed by all of us here. I hope you're in a much better place. May you be in peace and may your family find solace with time.

I'd like to share this snip that Frosty wrote once on the forums. It was a small paragraph, but it struck me and honestly I was inspired by his courage and force of character.

QUOTE (FrostyNSO)
I had this same struggle. My grandpa did 15 years in the Foreign Legion and my pop did 10 + 4 (same four as me wink.gif ). I wasn't sure what to do after high school and I had a great girlfriend of 2 years at the time. After looking into law enforcment and the Air Force, and talking to my dad about it, it became really clear that he wanted to see me follow in his footsteps. He told me: "Every man needs to cut ties once in his lifetime and do something truely extraordinary." Those words stuck with me for months until it was drivng me mad. So, after a particularly bad day at work, I took my final paycheck (that should explain it right there), said goodbye to my girl, and bought a one-way plane ticket (with layovers in Boston and New York, mind you) to Paris and signed up. Looking back, It was one of the best things i could've done for myself, and like any man (or woman) who serves, it is something special that nobody can ever take away from you. My only regret is leaving my girlfriend. She was absolutely amazing, and I never have heard from her again, let alone even heard news of what she's doing.


Rest in peace.

This might sound a little off, but has anyone considered something to send to his family, from us? I know it might be a bit odd, to get a letter signed by 50 people that he never actually met, but just the same...

What happened? :(

*sigh* I have had friends that died. But it is times like these, when someone you know only through the internet dies that you realise that it is a real person on the other end. This is the second time this year I had to bury an Internet friend.

I do not know Frosty's religion and I hope that no one will be offended by this:

Sanctissima Trinitas, unus Deus, miserere mei nunc et in hora mortis meae. Amen.

I only saw Frosty's posts in passing, but he will be missed. But, as I told my best friend when his grandfather died (as a compliment, not an insult) - "Old soldiers never die, they just go to hell and regroup".

Semper Fi Frosty.

I've never had any kind of interaction with Frosty, but he seemed like a nice guy, and I can say that I very much enjoyed some of his posts on this board. I hope his family is doing OK.

Mhmm. I don't want to be an asshole, but this is a pretty serious thing, so... how do we know this is true?

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but I'm not inclined to just believe someone who calls himself "Dirtnap" and doesn't have any details. (especially with people providing conflicting info on him being in Iraq and somewhere in Africa)

Where is the benefit in trolling?

Personally, since (while I am saddened by this news) none of my plans revolve around the status of the probably-departed, I'm going to assume it's entirely true until something indicates otherwise (like, for example, Frosty showing up in a month to start a thread or something). That said, there is enough motivation in mischief-making to cover the very simple expenditure of time and energy it would take to fake this.
