He was posting publicly on FB as recently as Aug 12th. Any details?

RIP FurryCrew

Lost a good mate last night. RIP Aaron aka FurryCrew. "That loud guy" to anyone within earshot. A great buddy and close friend taken way too soon to the great LAN-party/Curry-house/Shoe-store in the sky. An endless list of awesome memories.

A real OG NZGamer from the Faultline era of Wellington geek circles, and played a big part in making The Hub, LANplace, etc a great place to be and feel included.

He will be very missed.

Very sad

That's really sad. He brought so much life and energy to the LAN scene in the late 90s early 2000s.

RIP Furry Crew.

I haven't seen Furry in a long time, but he was a great dude. Lots of good memories. We were a tight little community back in the day.

Indeed. It's going to be quite the solemn occasion. I still don't fully believe it

Kia ora koutou, I have a message to pass on from Agnes and Ana.

Aaron is currently lying at Gee & Hickton funeral home in Lower Hutt.

Aaron’s service will be at 5pm on Wednesday, 1 September. Due to Level 3 restrictions, only family and invited guests will be able to attend.

If you would like to view his body and pay your respects before his cremation, you are able to make an appointment with the funeral home. When visiting Aaron, only people within the same bubble are able to visit him at once.

We will make sure a livestream is available for those that would like to view the service. I’ll let you know the details of this closer to the time.

A memorial service will be arranged for later on, once we are able to host larger gatherings. Again, I’ll keep you posted about that when we have more details.

Contact details for Gee & Hickton funeral home are as follows: Phone: (04) 566 3103 Corner Knights Road & Cornwall Street, Lower Hutt

I didn't even realise my Lanplace birthday diary made it over in the 2017 resurrection, but it did, and it reminds me of a time and a place and Furry Crew. Some of the OGs in this thread will remember it too.

oof my contribution did not age well.
what year was this? i have some photos from a lanplace where played wow, but I suspect that was later as I had moved to Wellington in 2002, so this must have been before that as I travelled from Akl for this one.

I never got to know Furry but I remember him being one of the highlight personalities of my Lanplace days. Awful for him to go so young

i had the same feeling. I frantically tried to find the "delete all my comments and posts" button, but this site was built before such things existed.

I spent more time with Furry online than IRL - so many nights grinding and raiding in various locations across Norrath. At every LAN I made it down to Welly for he was the life of the party.

This year has not been kind to any of us. Aaron was a cool guy. I remember we took a break from the Hub at Loaves and Fishes, and started crawling for food. Of course Aaron knew a pizza place nearby, and we rocked up only to find the chap closing for the night - he quickly changed his mind in the face of 15 hungry geeks.
Furry, you were a loud, fun, friendly guy. Taken from the world far too soon. I am sorry that I can be there to say goodbye in person, but you and your family will be in my thoughts.

A bit late to the post, but RIP Furry, it was a pleasure to have met you, you were definitely one of the great personalities of the early 2000's Wellington scene.

I noticed Furry's Steam account has ticked over to a year inactive.

You're gone but not forgotten my bro.
