I've never heard of that photo and I am Adam's official representative.

there was one of him and then-girlfriend w/ blood in their mouths

Yeah, you're either thinking of that one or this one:

"I am sincerely looking for friends of Adam's as well of fans of his work to consider even the smallest of donations to his family. Every dollar helps. It will go toward the expense of getting him a stone at his grave site. It is a huge expense if you have never had to deal with that aspect of a loss and nothing a mother should have to do on her own for her son. I think together we can all help. I informed his family I was going to attempt to do this for them and they are very grateful for any and all support at this time. Don't feel obligated in any way. But if you do donate know that it will be going to help in this tragic time. I will be using PayPal to collect the funds and am in contact with the family on a regular basis. Send any donations through PayPal to kwilley@iupuc.edu and PM me ( https://www.facebook.com/KyleWilley42 ) so I can verify funds were received correctly. Thanks again for any help. I will make sure every dime goes to good use."

Done. I sent what I could to Mr. Wiley. Thanks for the info Derek.

I think we're already at the $400 point. I sent $100 myself but every little amount goes a long way.

Not visited SYG for sometime, but this is really bad news to hear, not too sure how many years have passed since we used to exchange posts on Japanese films and stuff, RIP ASP.

Oh wow
Just now reading this thread..

Hope everyone's hanging in there, my condolences to those of you who were close with him

For those of you who care, his toxicology report came through. His death was through sedation of a prescribed anti-depressant and his acid reflux acting up when he slept.

:/ .

I'm kinda glad that it wasn't any hard drugs that caused this. He was apparently clean for the last month of his life but.. super depressed. His mum added me on facebook and I cried so hard at some of her posts.

Thanks for the info D

"We got half way to a stone for Adam. All together between money given to the family and money collected here we got 600 dollars! That is really awesome. There was enough money to put down to get it made but, the stone is still 1,200 dollars. So we need to try to raise another 600 bucks. We did it in less than a week last time. Let us repeat that. Donations can be made to kwilley@iupuc.edu via paypal. You can help! Thanks."

Fuck. This has just been brought to my attention. It's been so long since I spoke with him but I had always put him in my category of "favorite people" in my head. We hardly even talked except briefly in PM's because I once helped him with one of his (many) art projects.

One of the most interesting people I have ever encountered. RIP.

This is very sad news. I always really respected Adam. An odd bird, a great writer and music enthusiast and highly creative. We always spoke in private messages sharing music and he even used a demo of one of my songs for his Blaze the pot smoking deer videos. I have not visited the board in years and was very sad to see this news. I wish you all well. Embrace life and appreciate every day (especially in good health). Cheers

Adam was his own man. Whether you agreed with his opinions or not, the guy was unique and never tried to be someone he wasn't. Everybody and anybody can respect that.

He was a good guy and always stirred up good discussion. I feel when SY disbanded and he stopped posting as much was when the board really changed from how we used to know it. Regardless, I hope he's at peace. He's in a better place. I hope you all are doing well.

It has been a year now. damn. Time sure flies.

miss you derek.

miss you tons, adam <3

we lost one of the best.
