I wanted to tell you that Dewrede has passed away. He was 37 years old, and died of a pulmonary embolism. I loved him and it is out of honor to him that I am writing this. He spent a lot of time here and had many good friends, and this is the only way I could think of to let you know.

Christan, I will always love you and keep you in my heart. I wanted to post "How Can I Tell You?" by Cat Stevens, but as usual I cannot figure out how to do it. Anyway, keep his family in your prayers, they loved him very much as well.

I almost can't believe it

Lots of prayers for his parents and his girl friend who he adored

Rust zacht lieve Chris

(RIP dear Chris)

Very heartbreaking to hear this sad news. My condolences to his family and friends who have lost someone who touched their lives. When we leave this life for the next, I find solace by believing that there is somewhere beautiful after this life where we wait for our loved ones until we meet again. To those who loved him, he was taken to soon; but to The Maker and the Angels, he is right on time. Heaven got another angel. RIP Dewrede, you will be greatly missed but forever loved.

I don't like relying on the web to find all my answers but I was looking up pulmonary embolism, it is a blood clot that gets to your lungs or heart. This is such sad news to read about, I hope his family and loved ones can cope with this sudden tragedy. If were are truly Org friends then we should at least drop a note and say hi or keep in touch after Org meetings, we can have disagreements here and good discussions but lets not take it too seriously. Treasure your family and friends and your time on this planet. Be at peace Chris.

r.i.p.

Condolences to his family and friends.

I can't remember if him and i ever had any one on one interaction but i do know the name. Rest In Peace fellow orger..

Aw man, R.I.P.

He challenged me on many topics and I always read his posts.

My thoughts are with his family and friends right now.

Song written by Shausler on 8-8-05

do it wrong do it right
by the roman candles
light

do or die give it a try
fee fi fuu
Dewrede

like an ancient gaelic ring tone
where the leprechauns all moan
and hum the doodle dee
Dewrede dee dum duh

so you're swinging on a vine
that is not mine
that is fine
throw me tethers of silken line
one way or the other i'll make that rhyme

so do you know
does it flow
do little but still
i gots to know
do ra dee do ra duh

Dewrede
Dewrede

do ya see
do ya hun

Dewrede
Dewrede

Hij was nooit bang voor een goede discussie. Veel gepraat over muziek en wat nou goede rock of funk is. Geen onnodig prater, behalve als het er toe deed.

En ondeugend en een goede pestkop. Dat waardeer ik in mensen.

We zullen hem missen. Heel veel sterkte voor zijn familie en vrienden.

He was a very smart, compassionate and progressive thinking person. We often didn´t get along very well and had many disagreements and even arguments here but I had a lot of respect for him and he definitely triggered a lot of thought processes in me. Now I wish I could´ve resolved some of the issues we had here because I know that deep inside he was a very caring person who just came across a bit rude while trying to make the world a better place. I will miss his presence on the org, he really made me think twice about many things, especially as far as politics and religion are concerned. Definitely someone I wish I could´ve met.

May he rest in peace.

Wow

Wow, we didn't often see eye to eye and threw some good shots at each other over the years, but what a shock and shame, passing on so young.

Condolences to his family and friends. R.I.P.

That's sad to read that he has passed. I was familiar with his presence on the org. RIP

Thought of him the other day having a discussion about cheese..

Rest in Peace Christan...

Good luck to his family and friends in this difficult time...

Same here.

He will be missed by many

RIP

IIRC correctly, his main input in in P&R was defending what he saw as dutch culture from Islamic values and so on. Always a controversial topic, but I recall his passion and his willingness to fight his corner even if in the minority and facing criticism. Thats a quality I always admired in him.

Very sad. RIP.

This is shocking news, I've read many of his post and was familiar with his avatar of Jimi H, my condolences for his family and friends. Be at peace our Org brother.

I remember his avatar as well, along with his posts. My heart is heavy because I feel as if I come to know people by reading their thoughts and opinions. Another friend gone...RIP Dewrede.

Really shocking news, he was so young. May he RIP! My condolences to his family and friends .

me too

I feel bad because last Nov/Dec when I decided to shut down my org FB account and delete my org acount, he thought that perhaps for some reason we'd had a falling out, and when I told him I wasn't talking to ANYONE for a time he was very glad it wasn't something he did. I know he didn't have so much time for me either because he had met someone very special. Of course now I wish I'd kept in contact much more consistently. coulda woulda shoulda.

Chris was there for me when I had my ups and downs, and we kept each other informed about our various health issues, me not realising how serious his were, but I have to say that every time he brought up something he was worried about I asked him GO SEE A DOCTOR.

Ugh, this just goes to show, if there is someone you are thinking about, that you feel bad for not calling, CONTACT THEM, let them know you care I know that I am so guilty of avoiding people for YEARS and it will be a real effort for me to do this rather than retreat even further into myself.

I will miss you Chris. We may not have agreed on much or had much in common, but we still remained firm friends because we had patience and tolerance for each others quirks, like for YEARS. I don't remember how we got talking but we chatted from probably 2006 onwards, and for a time daily.

In 2007 he missed a train and we never got to meet, but in 2010 we managed to get together finally.

I hope he won't mind me posting this, it means a lot to me - a very happy moment. Chris is on the right.

Yes he had met a beautiful Lady and he adored her. She was in Holland last june.

We checked upon eachother every day for the last years abt our health but also just to chit chat (he slept on strange times because he always wanted to skype with his Lady)

I knew his health wasn't good and asked him hundred of times to go see a doctor but he was afraid especially for needles

Last friday he told me that he was afraid this was gonna happen and that he was scared

Will miss him very much
