[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Rip. Sad to lose a member of our community :(

[Shlade]

RIP... Wow. Hits pretty close to home when it's a member of our own community...

[03ozwhip]

He's a friend of mine, but I haven't talked to him in a couple of months. Fuck man, this sucks. RIP Vic. Such an awesome guy, I really wonder what happened to such a young guy with so much to look forward to in life.

Edit: what I do know is that he's been nursing hockey concussions for a while and not long ago he was diagnosed with another, maybe that has something to do with it. Just speculation, I don't actually know.

Edit again: I wish I could be there to pay my respects. RIP bro. :cry:

[FixedGear]

[eglove]

😢 rip

[BokCh0y]

such sad news. i met Victor at an mr2 meet quite a while back, same time i met 03ozwhip and mr2mike. He was such a cool kid, even set me up with a genuine hk license plate for my garage wall.

haven't spoken with him in a while now, we used to keep in touch and talk engg stuff when he was at the uofc quite often.

this is totally sad. when i fist saw this post late lastnight, i was like wtft...rip? was hoping it was a fucking typo.....couldn't sleep all night, this really upset me.

Vic, rip kid. Thanks for all the chats and bullshitting, it's been a real pleasure. You will be missed.

Saw you around in Engg in all the time...Really hits home and a good reminder that life is short.

[mr2mike]

Very shocked!
My condolences to his family. Great guy, I'd see him the odd time, he'd drive by Redlyne's place while we were working the cars. Always stopping or saying 'hey'.

[infamous]

RIP to another longtime member, you will be missed by a lot of people.....

[Hallowed_point]

Never really knew him, but regardless losing a member of beyond is almost like losing a family member. It really sucks!

RIP victor.

I met victor through the mr2 club where we became friends. A year or two later he would tutor me through a couple university math courses. Very shocking.

[ducaudi]

Real nice guy, RIP man, condolences to friends and family.

[hurrdurr]

[HiSpec]

Victor is a long term client at my optometry. He was introduced to me through his brother. Definitely a stand-up guy. Very sorry to hear. RIP.

[Redlyne_mr2]

What a shock.. He was my neighbour and a good bud.. Really sad to read this.. Positive vibes to his family.

[msommers]

[Quiet10]

Rest in Peace. Too young. :cry:

[403ep3]

I have common friends with him on FB and didn't know who VL was in some statuses..

RIP Victor.

[Redlyne_jr]

I was super shocked when I heard this! Met Vic about 7 years ago at an MR2 meet, I think I even have videos of us cruising around together.. I Talked to him last week about putting some HRE's on his C63 :( Was a super humble guy! Lost a good soul this week! :thumbsdow RIP Homie..

[max_boost]

Never met the guy but it's tragic. Good looking bro and young. RIP man.

[tirebob]

What the hell happened??? Victor was such a great guy! I talked to him on a regular basis. Just came by the shop a couple weeks ago. I am shocked and sad as hell right now... I just don't have words... :(

[CivicDXR]

Heard about his passing on Wednesday, talked to him not too long ago as well, but I did not know that Victor was sh0ko at all. May he rest in peace.

[XylathaneGTR]

Sad to hear...met him in engg and would see him around from time to time...friendliest guy, always remembered my name.
Too young. RIP man.

+1

Even though I've fought and argued with pretty much every beyond member, I've still been checking the forum daily for over a decade, and feel very close to the members here. It's really sad to see one of us pass on.

[ZenOps]

Gone too young.

If this was ever the motto: Seize the day because you just never know.

[Sugarphreak]

[ekguy]

What the is going on the last while...So much death....

RIP sh0ko.

My sympathies to the family.




:(

[brucebanner]

That's far too young.

RIP.

[legendboy]

So young, so sad. As a parent I can't even imagine the pain his family feels

RIP Vic and my heart goes out to your family and friends :(

[R154]

Rip Victor. Thanks for everything. Always a friendly face at school.


A couple of us are going to go for a cruise next Wednesday. See you there man.

[Tik-Tok]

R.I.P. sh0ko :(

I only met him IRL once, but FixedGear said it best.

[jampack]

RIP sh0ko.

[SCHIDER23]

RIP sh0ko

[psycoticclown]

It's so sad, less then a week ago, a few of us were chilling at his place detailing cars and having a beer on a gorgeous day. It's has been such a shock to all of us. Victor is one of the best, most compassionate, loving and generous man I that I have ever met. Rest in peace Victor.

[bowlofrice]

A few of us know, but at this time i dont feel comfortable saying anything.
If anyone wants to visit. The graveyard at eden brook is open 24/7. A bunch of our crew will be heading there later to pour some drinks for him.

He was a really close friend, always there anytime u needed him, always ready to give advice or just shoot the shit. Im really going to miss him... well i already do. Its hella tough.

[eblend]

I never seen sh0ko on here really even though I have been a long time member myself, but regardless, pretty tragic, RIP

I bumped into my friend yesterday and asked him what he was up to that day, and he said he just came back from a funeral...and then he went on to ask me if I know a certain someone at my old job (I just quit there 2 weeks ago)...I said I did, was a nice guy, always liked talking to him....well it appears that's sh0kos dad. Crazy small world. I feel terrible for the family. From all accounts it sounds like he was a very nice guy. Way too young. As soon as my friend asked if I knew his dad...the last names clicked in and I realized that I read about this on Beyond. I guess there was mention of beyond.ca at the funeral service describing him as an avid car fan. Really tragic. It impacted me and I didn't even know the guy.

[Weapon_R]

Very tragic for someone so young to pass . RIP :(

[Team_Mclaren]

RIP to a long time member, thats crazy.

[killramos]

RIP :(

Sobering moment for the day...

[flipstah]

RIP :(

[psycoticclown]

Reading this thread was extremely tough for a lot of us, seeing how many lives that Victor touched. This thread was actually brought up by his brother at the funeral as an example of all the lives that Victor has impacted and how amazing he was. His brother really appreciated all your comments.

For as much as we all like to squabble on here, the community is pretty tight knit.

RIP :(

[Graham_A_M]

Edit, yeah the curiosity is killing me. Frick.... just seems so odd someone this young would pass on. :(

[JRSC00LUDE]

I know you're well intentioned Graham but with all due respect, I think if it were anyone's business they would know by now. Sleeping dogs.... respect the privacy.

I don't know the situation, however I have known enough people that have died and have witnessed the common trend.

When someone dies of cancer or some other illness it is talked about ("f@#$ cancer") and money is raised in their name.

When someone dies of a tragic accident there is a link to the local news and awareness about safety is raised.

When someone commits suicide due to depression, drug overdose or some other mental illness there is silence and no one want to talk about it and the silence is even more prevalent is certain cultures.

[Hallowed_point]

^ I agree. That needs to change. The stigma isn't helping anyone imo (coming forward with the cause even if it may cause embarrassment to the family name etc.)

[01RedDX]

[R154]

01RedDX, this is not the place for such a discussion. Please make a new thread for that suggestion elsewhere. I know friends and family to Vic would very much appreciate it.

I know I would.

Thank You.

How would you guys feel about a beyond memorial?

This forum is big enough where naturally some members will pass away on occasion yet tight enough where some might need a way to pay tribute and keep their memory alive. I dunno, is it a good idea? I am not trying to be morbid but I can imagine some people seeing it that way.

Memorial sure, Necologue no that is morbid.

[MalibuStacy]

Never met him, or even have ever interacted with him on a discussion here. none the less my condolences to anyone who was close to him.

Agreed. I enjoy that about this place, it makes it nice.

By and large everyone who's been around relatively long term is good people even if you don't "know" them. Even the people you get into it with/poke at over whatever dumb thing (like myself and Bavarianbeast will occasionally) you would miss if they were gone and truth be told you'd likely decide, more often than not, that they're rad people in their own right if you had a beer or whatever with them.

It's nice to see that sh0ko/Victor left such a positive impression with friends/e-cquaintances alike.

[SpoonDC2R]

RIP Homie, you will be missed. :(
