Stargrunt6 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 We got to know each other while I was on third year of medical school. Those were pretty lonely days and he gave some much needed companionship. It was great being able to talk to someone at the same level. I was hoping we'd meet. Perhaps we will.
R011 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Sad and shocking news. May he be in a better place.
Richard Lindquist Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 RIP Maxx. I am hoping that your engagement here at Tanknet provided some joy to your obviously troubled life over the years.
swerve Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 RIP Maxx. Jeez, there is so much to say. But what CAN you say? It all seems so sodding trivial. Absolutely right. I'd have expected Maxx to go out in a more spectacular fashion. Sad, & he'll be missed.
Mr King Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Maxx was a very dynamic person. These are his words to me from the last conversation I had with him, and I believe they reflect a side of Maxx not everyone here got to see, which is a true shame. Orthodox Christmas. May you be blessed with more light, may the bleakness ever go weaker, my you shine in the happiness of your nieces and nephews my you be aware you a friend that fully respects how much more of a decent human you are than events shaped you who you outclass in every aspect. Yours, Maxx
T19 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Damn. I expected him to go down in battle with insurmountable odds. That would be the type of ending he would have wanted. I was planning a get together in feb afte my trip to Slovenia. We planned to chat laugh and tell war stories. We had been recently chatting about some other things Like when a Klingon dies the other Klingons yell out not in sorrow but as a warning to places like Valhalla to be warned another warrior is on thier way Rip mad Maxx. May god have mercy on your soul
Sardaukar Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) To add: I moved in with him on Monday. He had been happiest person ever after finding his new gf and me moving in. Cruelty of life is that he died within 5 days of me becoming his flatmate... Guess how I feel. Especially when I was with him during that fateful night, he was showing places around. I felt tired 2 am and he wanted to walk bit more (he suffered from insomnia). I was not too worried about him not coming back next day, since he often went to spend night in his mother's apartment. But then, late evening, police knocked the door and asked if I knew Vladan. And told he had been taken to nearby hospital in critical condition at 4 am previous night. I keep you updated if it was accident or not. It kind of sucks to know that he'd probably be alive if I had stuck with him, but he was a-OK when I last saw him. *sigh* Edited January 22, 2016 by Sardaukar
Jeff Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 RIP. Glad to have "seen" you one last time on this Grate Sight. Prayers to his family, they are the ones who have to go on.

Be satisfied you were able to play a part in his new found happiness.

Yours, Maxx He had a gift. I really anticipated him going very far in his journalism career. His intellect combined with his experiences and pure moxie would've made him a name.

toysoldier Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I can't wrap my head around the idea of Maxx Dying. In my mind he was granite, unbreakable.
scj1014 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Sorry to hear the sad news. Condolences to friends and family...RIP.
Rick Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) All I can think and say is to echo the thoughts and words of previous posters. RIP. Edited January 23, 2016 by Rick
Marek Tucan Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I can't wrap my head around the idea of Maxx Dying. In my mind he was granite, unbreakable. Yeah. After taking all life thrown at him and beating it, this is hard news to swallow. Let's just hope that wherever he went, he's at peace... Though the surroundings may not be!
Brian Kennedy Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Well shit -- really sorry about that. Rip.

Sardaukar Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) I got latest news from his brother Sasha. This makes me feel bit better. Cause of death was massive cardiac arrest. And while they managed to overcome that in hospital, he was basically dead on arrival. Head trauma was secondary injury. Thus, me being around or not would not have made much difference.
