RIP Shem Kellogg

[ronpaulhawaii]

It is with great sadness I bring the news that Shem passed at 9am this morning.

They are just starting to organize vigils/remembrances/etc and I will try to keep this thread updated. There is a vigil in Plaistow NH tonight at 7p, and others are holding one at the Porcfest firepit tonight at 8p...

Quite the journey he went on, he is already dearly missed

[TheTexan]

Well, $#@!

[donnay]

Go with God, Shem.

RIP he walked the walk...

[CaptUSA]

Damn. Lost a good one.

[Anti Federalist]

Oh god damn it...I was afraid of that, lacking any updates.

Thanks for keeping us informed RPH.

Let us know when there is anything any of us can do for family, friends, charities, etc.

Rest in peace brother Shem.

Gutted. He indeed walked the walk, and he walked it successfully. Not many of us could win an election, that's for sure.

Deepest sympathies to his family and friends.

I hope heaven has him sharing his tent with a girl, otherwise they'll never hear the end of it.

Rest in peace brother Shem.

I'll update as I learn more, the news is just filtering out...

He was home when he passed, with family/friends.

Speechless.

RIP, Shem.

R.I.P.

I remember that time he got a separate account for his campaign and some people were giving him a hard time about signing up and going straight to the campaigning, saying they need to get to know him first before deciding to support him. Someone else was like, "don't you know who he is? Look at his avatar!"

Rest now child
Hope to see you later!

R.I.P. and memory eternal! Too many good people dying way too young around here. Ain't fair, I tell ye! :'(

[luctor-et-emergo]

Totally unreal.

No $#@!...we lose a Shem, and the likes of Cheney and Kissenger will live to 110, on Frankenstein hearts and fetal grindings.

Not fair by a long shot...

[euphemia]

How sad. Condolences to friends and family.

[phill4paul]

Damnit. Far too many good one's have we lost over the years. Makes me want to kick in the wall.

[William Tell]

Oh noooooo! Shem was such a cool guy, prayers for his family and close friends.

[Origanalist]

Ugh, horrible news. I never met him but had great respect. I hope he's already in a better place.

[Matt Collins]

:-( oh no

[Danke]

Ooh scheisse!

[TER]

O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who hast trampled down death and overthrown the Devil, and given life to Thy world, do Thou, the same Lord, give rest to the soul of Thy departed servant Shem in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away. Pardon every transgression which he has committed, whether by word or deed or thought. For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind; because there is no man who lives yet does not sin, for Thou only art without sin, Thy righteousness is to all eternity, and Thy word is truth.

For Thou are the Resurrection, the Life, and the Repose of Thy servants who have fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.

Dang. This is very bad news, indeed. I'm sorry to read this. Shem sure as heck did be about it instead of just talking about it. I think the first time I heard of him, he was hitching a ride for that gathering. Which angela kind of touched on there. And he's sure done a lot since then. This is just bad, bad news. A sad day.

Update if we're doing anything or if his family needs anything.

[wizardwatson]

Seems like he just informed us of the cancer thing like a couple months ago?

EDIT: Yeah, looking at other thread was only December when the forum found out.

[Nirvikalpa]

RIP. Thanks for the memories, and glad our paths met for a period in our lives. Playing Grateful Dead for you, know you're singing along.

[jmdrake]

Damn. Lost a good one.

My thoughts exactly.

[jmdrake]

He was home when he passed, with family/friends.

When I check out, that's how I want to go.

[Ender]

Rest now child
Hope to see you later!

My thoughts, as well.

[JoshLowry]

Thank you Shem.

*salute*

[Cowlesy]

How does this always freaking happen to the good ones.

Just awful news.

RIP Shem.
