Fire Me Boy! has passed away
 

His wife posted the news on his Facebook a little earlier this morning. I know that he will be missed by many on here, especially the foodies.

FMB was one of the first people to really welcome me on here when I first joined and started posting regularly. I never met him in person, but he was one great guy and a fellow grammar Nazi. :)

I'm sure his wife would appreciate any thoughts or prayers.

RIP, Fire Me Boy!

Oh wow. RIP.

I always liked him. Would argue over movies sometimes, but he was a good dude.

I remember he had some health issues the last few years right?

RIP will be missed.

Was just coming here to post it. Dude was a great guy. Never met him in person but we spoke a few times.

Damn. Sorry to hear that.

Condolences. RIP

I believe so although I couldn't tell you exactly what they were. I think he'd been in the hospital recently.

Damn, knew he had some health issues but passed away?

Holy shit I'm going to have to take a lap...

RIP. Glad he got to celebrate another Chiefs SB title before he passed.

Damn that sucks. RIP.

RIP.

Shit. Really nice guy. He got to see the Chiefs win a Super Bowl at least.

RIP

Damn. Enjoyed reading his posts about food. RIP.

:(

Man he wasn't that old was he?

Damn....RIP

RIP.

Damn man. That’s ****ing crazy.

RIP.

This breaks my heart as he was one of my favorites. I knew he was battling diabetes but was hoping he would be ok.

RIP FMB :(

RIP FMB

RIP

Shit that's awful. One of my fave posters. RIP

Gosh. He is one of cp's most iconic posters. I'm saddened to hear this.

Thoughts and prayers to his loved ones. RIP, as said, to one of the good guys.

RIP

Always liked him, despite our differences.

Always sorry to read of the passing of another CP member. Blessings to his family and friends.

Damn. Always liked him. He's the only person to give me an infraction and he did it twice.

Final post

I feel like we've lost a lot of guys over the years.

Condolences to the family, RIP

Diabetes. Or complications from it. That’s what I was trying to remember.

I remember he posted something from the hospital a few years ago.

RIP :(

If memory serves, he had a foot/toes amputated a while ago.

I was just thinking that he hadn't posted in the food thread in a while. Sad news, he will be missed. RIP

RIP...

Yeah...this one is tough...I'm at a loss for words.

If we're talking about putting Super Bowl threads into the HOC, maybe this one could go, too. Last thread he started, and it was about food for the Super Bowl. Seems so fitting.

At least he got to see the Chiefs win it all. RIP :(

Mother****er.

Everything that came my way from that dude was first class.

Damn it. That one hits pretty hard. IIRC, I don't think he's that much older than I am.

:deevee:

Man, this always sucks to hear... I never exchanged jabs much with that guy, but from what I recall, he was a good dude. RIP

RIP Fire!

He was a good guy. Rest in Peace.

Well that sucks. I'm really sorry to hear that. RIP.

Great poster, RIP.

That really sucks. I learned a lot reading his posts about food, especially sous vide. He will be greatly missed.

He was a class act and taken far too young. RIP, FMB.

Aw crap... RIP FMB. You will be missed.

Ah, come on! What the hell! How old was he? This is just wrong....

RIP, FMB. You will be greatly missed:deevee:

This is terrible news.

FAX

I don't know for sure, but he was in the neighborhood of 40.

RIP

Yep. Found these threads

I was thinking he was about my age, which is 43, or a little younger.

R.I.P FMB. Sad to hear.

Aww, man. Really sorry to hear. Will be missed.

Well shit! :(

Geez. Just far too young.

I really enjoyed getting a peek into his life through food. Damnit, this just sucks.

Early 40s? That's way, way too young. Sad to learn he's gone-- I lurked for a few years before joining, and he was always a fun read.

Condolences to his family and those that knew him. Speaking of which-- what was his real name? Since he's passed, isn't it okay to post it in the clear?

holy shit.

VERY saddened by this news...

RIP FMB

Rest in Peace. Enjoyed reading his food posts.

By the way, thanks for letting us know.

Dang, that sucks. As others had mentioned, I'm glad he got to see his team win a Super Bowl before he passed. I hope he was able to enjoy it.

RIP FMB, you will be missed. Prayers of comfort for your family.

I'm crushed. Great guy. Condolences to his wife and family. RIP.

RIP. He left us too soon.

Wow. I was pretty sure he was younger than me, but I didn't know he was that much younger.

He will be missed. I always appreciated his takes, especially on food topics. Never a negative post from him.

RIP

Rest in Peace good sir.

He seemed like a good dude, and was a font of information when it came to cooking.




****. That was a response to one of my dumb posts. I'll drink an Arnold Palmer in his honor today.

Well that stinks. :(

The man knew his way around a smoker. We had a lot of great conversations over the years about many things. He will be missed. RIP my good man.

RIP

Didn't even know he was having issues. Too young man. RIP. Prayers for his family.

RIP

He was a great poster. I always enjoyed his posts on cooking, especially bbq and cast iron skillets.

Thoughts and prayers for his family.

He was a legend in the smoking/grilling thread. His last post of his smoked meat.

He was always one of my favorites on here. Rest in Peace.

****. That really sucks. He seemed like such a nice dude. I wish I could have met him.

RIP

Such sad news to start the week. RIP to a great poster!

Should we start a Hall of Remembrance for those we have lost over the years?
