This is a bloody shock even to a noob like me. His posts were always the highlight when I would log on. If I was to be asked what name would come to mind when at the Shroomery Coon would be it. Such a bloody shame. RIP dude.

was his actual cause of death determined?

last year i took a normal handful of what I would call normal handful of morphine and xanax,

for some reason, that night, I almost fucking died, I had to be resuscitated twice, when any other night, i would have wanted more,

doctors said the X factor was the amount of methadone i had taken the night before

now i dont abuse my pills, i take them as prescribed.

I just think, it's the rule that if someone here passes, everyone thinks it's an OD.

While it's probably the case, maybe something else happened?

u can't tell me not one member in the past five years hasn't either died of a car accident, slip and fall, or natural causes, if everyone here that dies, dies of an overdose, maybe we all need to think about what we are doing when we are consuming whatever it is that we consume.

Among his accomplishments, coon will be remembered for contributing the term "Perdorker" as synonym for whom we regard as "n00b".

Though you were with us only a short time, you left a lasting impression that will not be forgotten.
I hope that your last days with us were jovial, and your last moments were tranquil.

Though I never knew you IRL, I regard my web friends with equal sentiment.  Tears of loss are shed for your absence.

Your struggle is complete.  Rest in content of the emptiness. 

:hillbilly:





how awfull. RIP coon, your wisdom will be missed :sad:

Omg... what the fuck.

This is a shitty ending to my already terrible day.  Coon was so great to me, I think I learned more about mushroom hunting from him than anyone ever.  I just can't believe this... he was such an amazing person, my personal favorite here on the shroomery.  Wow I can't even remember the last time I cried...........

:frown:

This is too much, I'm gonna go for a while and think.

Holy shit, man.. Can't believe it.

Coon = Master of Gyms /// And that is why I had much respect for him. Coon truly was versed in Gym lore.

Also, I'm pretty sure he wasn't a Texan.

It's not assumption. His wife PMed me with that detail. It is unknown what the substance was, whether it was a dangerous amount, or if there was some other unforseen factor contributing to the danger, or whether it was intentional. All of those questions remain unanswered, and I will not volunteer any assumptions.

Thanks CureCat, I don't think we want anyone to assume in this, it's upsetting enough. I didnt know Coon like any of you, but, his hunting antics were hilarious, and I have read a lot of his posts over the past few years. He's one of those that made you giggle out loud, and your spouse or friends look at you like your a fucking retard, coz you're hee hawing out loud (HHOL!)

rest easy Coon.

I see NO reason this would have been intentional, after reading hundreds of his posts over the past few days, i see NO SIGNS of intent.

Like i said in my mistake i made last year, there can be X factors, that almost do you in.

I am taking this really hard. I haven't really been this emotional in a long time. Last night when I heard the news I was like "wow this sucks" and then I started thinking about it more and I kinda broke down. I cried all night, was up really late, and my girlfriend had to come over to calm me. Today I am missing class just because I am so miserable.

Coon was one of the first people to ever rate me. I have laughed harder from his posts than anyone else ever. His personality and sense of humor was very unique and something that I will never find again. Though he probably doesn't know me as well as I know him, he has helped me on many occasions and is one of my main motivators to continue mushroom hunting. I have a bad lower back and leg problem and it is hard for me to walk. When I read his threads and he gives me hunting tips it gets me in the mood to go out there and hunt, no matter how bad I hurt.

Coon has been here with me since I first came to these forums, now he is gone. This is terrible for me.

CureCat, if you have any more info, please pm me. Anything will do, I'd like his name, address, or his wife's user name so I can at least send her my condolences. I want to be able to help out his family and do everything I can to aid them. What I would really like is his grave site. I swear on my life that one day I will pick some gyms and lay them on his grave. If it is the last thing I do on this earth I will accomplish this for him. So please CureCat, any info would help, you have my aim screenname as well so I will contact you sometime.

Thanks for all of your wonderful help coon, I will continue to hunt in honor of your name. May you rest in peave forever. Though my beliefs about god and the afterlife aren't very optimistic, it is times like these that I hope there is at least something out there for people like you coon. I love you man.

possibly there is some "anonymous" way to set something up to help his family.

I don't think giving out his address is the best idea.


Any time you want to be with Coon, go on a fungi hunt, if you knew him personally,

i bet he "haunts" his spots :smile:

I did not know Coon at all, either IRL or on the board. I have not been with this community long, but Coon's passing has affected more than I would have expected. Coon was a person I know by proxy, like a friend of a friend, and this experience reminds us all of our own mortality.

To Coon;

You have made an impact on the world by touching lives. There are people on this earth who loved you, and will continue to love you. Thus, your life was a success. May your soul be at peace and find eternal joy.

Here is a story of coon's haunting, in the context of mushrooms hunting, from someone who generally doesn't espouse superstition.
I ordered a jewlers' loop about a week ago. It arrived yesterday and the surname on the return address was listed as Coon. If the shared connection was a really common name like "Smith" or "Jones", I wouldn't have paid much attention.
But wait.... It deepens. The first mushrooms examined with this spooky hand lens was a Gymnopilus lookalike. I thought it a strange and kinda cool coincidence... "coon's hunted hand lens" will serve as a weird memorial contrivance. :igor:

Hah!  Nice.  I had a similar coincidence. 

Tuesday night I was driving over to my friends house, feeling very sad, thinking about coon.  I was bumming hard, but I got a call from my friend while on my way to his place.  He said "guess what i just caught in my back yard."
I said "huh, what's that?"
"A coony!"
I was all "Hah!  If I was superstitious, I'd see it as a sign!  But still, that's a cool coincidence."
:smile:
