Lots of scent trees, its been a rough day for sure

Oh no!

I knew him from way back when I was going to cons all the time. The last time I saw him was MFF 2009 or so. I would usually run into him at MFF, MFM, AC (back when it was still at the Adam's Mark). He was one of the folks who I always remembered and who always remembered me, you know? There was like a 5-year break from conventions before MFF 2009, but he still knew me when I came up and said hi. Like we'd just talked the day before or something. And I have to figure he was like that for a lot of folks. He just seemed to care about other people. He was always volunteering however he could, helping with this or that, whether it was a small event or a big con. He was always kind to folks. I never heard him talk bad about someone else behind their back, you know?

I'm sorry for your loss. :( it's terrible when a life is cut short so suddenly. I respect what he has done for not just MFF, but the fandom, too.

One time we had a sort of camping trip furry con thing... I forget where exactly. A lot of the folks from St. Louis were there so I think it was in Missouri. This was early 2000's. We had this whole little camping area rented out. He was showing off what seemed like it must be his most prized possession, this little tiny bottle of musk that he was absolutely not going to open. X) I dunno where he got it. I remember us all having tents set up and stuff. I think we had campfire stories one night, and maybe we went to a cave system on the last day. Not a lot of people, maybe 50 or so? I know I went really last-minute, relatively quick trip from where I was living at the time. But, yeah, again, talking to him it was always like we'd just left off from the last conversation.

The interesting thing is that I don't remember *how* I met him exactly. It wasn't like somebody introduced me, I don't think. I didn't have some "in" lol. He was just always approachable. You didn't have to be "important" for him to talk to you, and I don't think he ever considered himself "important" even though he was. He was a humble dude. I never saw him blow somebody off at all.

I totally know what you mean. Also what you mentioned about how he always remembered you - Quasi never picked favorites, and he truly treated everyone like a treasured friend. No matter the time between your visits - he always greeted you like a long lost best friend and truly, its a very unique trait. He will be sorely missed. Thank you for sharing your stories <3

*nodnods* I got that feeling from him. He was one of those rare people who never forgot anybody. X)

And that was part of it too. If everyone in the world was fighting, Quasi was probably the person they were all still talking to lol. He was a mediator, sort of like the furry community's own personal Switzerland. He would always listen at least as much as he'd talk.

It's been too long since I got to talk to him last, but I remember his voice, his expressions, his mannerisms, his glasses. :P He was a little dude with a bigger personality than most tall folks have. I'll remember him. One of my first friends in the community, one of the best people. Always gonna be the first skunk I think of. So sad right now, but so happy to know that people will remember how wonderful he was.

Oh! And let's not forget that if someone was just being an outright bully he would totally step in and say no sir. At least once or twice I saw him come to the defense of a fur who was getting mistreated because of something like a stutter, you know?

He was an old furiend of mine as well. :(( I've known him for probably 15 years.

I had to have known Quasi since at least 2004 or 2005. he friended me on LiveJournal and I'd met him in person at MFM and FWA a few times. He was always pretty friendly to me and was only rude once, when I stood in a hallway as he was pushing around a big registration cart at FWA (which he often volunteered at as well). I was always jealous of his massive skunk-gear collection which he'd acquired through years of eBay addiction.

We didn't always agree on everything (especially politically) but he was generally pretty respectful. We had a falling out recently over some furry chatroom drama (that admittedly I had a large hand in) and I tried very hard to reconnect with him, and I'm sad to say I failed to do so before his untimely demise.

It's horrible to lose so many good furs this year. Fuck 2016.

I didn't know him personally, but he was a watcher, and one time commissioner. It always tears at my heart to find something like that out, whether I knew them or not. I'm not sure what happened, but it was sadly his time. My condolences to his friends and family :'(

He touched so many lives in such a genuine way, everyone who knew him has lost a part of themselves. I'm just grateful I was one of those that got to know him.

he is and will continue to be part of who I am, his memory will never go away nor will he as long as he lives on thru us

*hugs*

*bows head in respect*

Iam very sorry to hear this , and iam sorry for your lost. I knew QuasiSkunk online never got to meet him IRL tho I wish I had he was super cool skunk with a great personally

...Had to Fave it. I never knew the fellow, but I found images on his page with he in his costume posed before some Lockheed aircraft. ...Showed he had a sense of humor as well as an appreciation for historic aircraft.

Never knew him but im very sorry to hear about the loss. I heard that that huge fire in San Francisco had many artists in it. I hope none of them were anyone we knew. So many tragedies involving artists this year. :(

</3

*hugs you* T_T
same here I know how it feels
when I heard the news the other night I couldn't stop crying the rest of the night and I made myself absent for a few days just for some alone time
I never met him face to face but I have known him on FA for four years since I joined he was a good friend

*squeezes the sad skunk* Good memories of good people make strangers better for them.
