Is this hopefully some kind of joke?
Is CB dead or isn't he? If you're going to announce someone's passing, it would be helpful to have more information.

Damn, hope it’s not true but I don’t think rock# would joke around about someone dying.
RIP Jim.

If you are going to post this it better be fucking true. If it is that really sucks that he lost the battle. When he was under control he was fun as hell to talk to here.

Not surprised, but still a sad outcome. Wish he could have won the battle 10 years ago when he still had time to turn it around. Either a OD or heart attack I assume. RIP cavebear... I hope he went peacefully.

Wow just fucking wow,I dont know what to say, I wasn't always super nice to him, but I had ahwile ago pmed with him and apologized for some of the fucked up shit I had said in the past. Guy had some problems but he seemed to truly have a good heart. Much love and respect Jim sorry that you felt you had to go this route, hope his family is holding up.
I'm not at all religious but it seems like he was RIP- Paul

May I be ready for Satan's fiery darts of doubt, denial and deceit so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat. ... By faith your Warrior has put on the armour of God!

He must have had a difficult recovery from his heart surgery. What a shame.
In another thread recently, johncfc opined that "this forum won't die until Cavebear does".
I hope that doesn't turn out to be true.

He was much more combative and confrontational lately. He an I always has good communication on the old board but lately any time you suggest ways to help his life he would snap. Too bad he ended things and I’m actually surprised he didn’t come here and say goodbye. Did he Od or do it another way?

Too bad he ended things and I’m actually surprised he didn’t come here and say goodbye. Did he Od or do it another way? I'm trying to figure that out. On Feb 10th he posted that goodbye msg on FB. Sounding like he was gonna kill himself. But then on Feb 12, he posted a msg saying sorry for worrying everyone. That he was back on his meds and should be ok. Then Feb 14th people started posting on his wall about him dying. So not sure if he killed himself or OD'd between Feb 12 and 14th.

The people around me right now are noticing that I am very upset. Visibly sad.
I'm having a hard time explaining to people why I have a couple of tears in my eyes.....for some dude "from the Internet"....who I've never physically met....but was a part of my daily life for 10+ year when the old forum was around. And still part of my life through social media and the sporadic conversations here in the new forum.
Weird feeling. I consider a lot of you good buddies and some even friends. Yet most have never met.

Never heard of em!
Bear would have loved that comment! We always agreed it was ever to soon to make comments like that! RIP 🐻
I'm with Premier, so many years chatting with each other, every day, different time of the day or night. Definitely saddened by this. The guy struggled but was ways honest and had a good heart. I remember he always posted the best picture of hot semi naked women back during the golden years of the OD.
Im also curious how he killed himself, fentanyl is a really big problem and it's only going to gwt bigger. Extremely potent even for the experienced users. It's killing so many people.
In honor of Bear, may the Steelers never win another Super Bowl!

I’m with you guys... weird but I feel like a friend died. He and I pm’d quite a bit about fishing and hunting and we would often talk about similar interests. I had plenty of disagreements with him and we would both be very honest and unfiltered to each other, but I always thought he had the ability to change his life and be happier. Too bad it ended in a possible suicide it overdose after his heart procedure.

God fucking damnit...
Rest in peace brother.
Ive had family who've struggled with substance abuse issues and its a hell of a thing.
Dude was always friendly with me and one of the first dude's I actively PM'd with on both forums
One of the OG Paul Heyman Guys
Rest well. Hope he has finally found his peace.

He sent me a private message on this forum several weeks ago. Left me his email address in case this place got shut down. He wanted to help me.
I responded earlier today, not knowing he was gone.

Awful news. I had almost stopped checking this forum as it seems to be on its last legs but I'm glad I did today. Jim was almost always good to me, we had a lot of fun on the old board, especially when that place seemed to be on its last legs and we would joke about being down to the OD 6 - the last six remaining members.
Dammit. I really wish this wasn't true.
RIP, Jim. You'll be missed.

Not good news at all. I know he would get down and out. I always kind of thought (hoped) he released a lot of that here and felt a little better for it. Not that it was all doom and gloom.

Damn.
Heard the news via sm, and hoped it wasn’t true. Seemed only fitting to post condolences here, as it seems this place was a digital extension of his real life and just as impactful to him as the relationships that he made in real life.
I imagine, as bear was thinking through his last hours, he honestly spared a moment of two of reflection for all of us who posted and knew him.
Just as we are all making a moment to pay respects to him on an antiquated digital medium.
He would probably be pleased that he has a RIP thread that demonstrate we all cared. Sadly, the message didn’t get through while he was still with us.
Be good to each other. It’s the internet. We are all adults now, and almost 2 decades have passed since we first learned how to interact on a strange new platform we affectionately call “the forums”.
Only imbeciles and children act the fool to a stranger on the internet in 2020.
RIP Cavebear RIP Hitman RIP TOIAP
