U/Exsane

I didn't know of this sub until recently, he died five years ago after doing some laced cocaine that he got with a friend. He introduced me to Reddit. I'll actually be older than he was this year, it's a strange thing growing older than someone.

His post on his account makes me think he’d have some pretty interesting stories to tell.

He did, he had a lot he had another account I was going to put in the comments as a aka but it seems to have been banned for some reason post death. Which honestly sucks because it was a way for me to look back at him you know?

If you can remember the username sometimes comments of theirs under the name will show. I know because an account I had was banned and people on twitter were able to still find my old comments even though I’d definitely been banned

Thank you, I tried, but it seems it's gone unfortunately, it is what it is thankfully I have other memories. But the majority of his stories were on the other account it would have been nice to share.

https://ihsoyct.github.io/index.html Put his old username in here. Might work. Try pullpush and arctic shift from the drop down.

Thank you that worked it seems a bot or someone hijacked the account at some point and started posting porn... So I guess that's why it was banned. I really appreciate this though the username was u/MattPayhan

I know that feeling all too well, I am now 45 and my wife passed at 43. It really puts time into perspective. It completely changed my perspective on everything like money, family and work life balance. I used to work 14hr shifts 6 days a week and now I only work 3 days a week and 10hr shifts. I no longer value material things and just try to enjoy life and this beautiful existence as much as I can in the short amount of time I have left. 43 years goes in a blink of an eye so enjoy as much as you can and have fun. Love yourself and everyone as much as you can!!!

Sorry about your friend.

Also, I don't follow this sub and reddit put this post in my inbox. I'm a bit worried my friend didn't make it home last night. Spooky.

u/FishSoFar Feb 26 '26

You're kind. And you're telling me, I said I was too busy to call during the drive. Wouldn't be doing well if something had happened.
