Category: In Memoriam
i'm doing this, because i'm shocked and saddened that no one else has thought of this.
from what i've heard, arron aqa commander la fordge has died due to issues with his kidneys.
even though he did not come on here much, he was a real regular on the voice chat server.
most people will probably remember him most for being a judge in zone icon.
rest in peace arron, you will be missed here
if anyione has more information- like something i may have forgot to mention, feel free to post it- i only found this out yesterday.
I just saw him on team talk the other day. RIP bro.
Alas Erin, I knew him not. This is very sad news however.
he was one of those people who, if you talked to him at all, you'd probably never forget him. Like him or not, he exuded confidence, and had one of the most outgoing personalities I've ever seen. he will be missed by many.
He seems to have impacted a lot of people. I saw him a couple of times on Teamtalk, a place I rarely visit, and yes you never forget such a fellow.
My deepest condolences to all who knew him well. Not easy times for you, I understand.
Aaron was an awesome and sweet person. He was one of the people who could always make me smile. I will miss and never forget him.
Thank you so much to whoever posted this. Woulda done it myself if I'd been home yesterday. From what I understand, he suffered a staff infection that took him from this world quickly. My next post will be my tribute to a person who was so amazing and wonderful that not even words can describe him.
To my Darling Angel,
I'm trying to write everything I wanna say for you, but it's really difficult to get all these words out. I've wanted to tell you so much about my life, since it's been 4 years since last we spoke, and just last week, I friended you on facebook. I, however, wasn't sure if you'd remember me. When I heard that you passed, I was shocked and devistated. You have impacted my life so much in only a few short months. Your smile, your laugh, and your love for life always amazes me. You have a heart of gold and you are truly an angel! Thank you for helping to get me through one of the darkest times in my life. Thank you for singing to me and singing with me when we'd get on zbp and go on our rent crazes. Thank you for always making me laugh and just being sweet, wonderful you! Thank you for your sweet nicknames and your amazing spirit. Thank you for being a reason I logged into zbp all those years ago, and thank you for being a wonderful friend. My sincerest condolences to your friends and fammily, and I know you're watching us from up there, singing your heart out! You always said you were lucky that we were friends, but it was us, Baby, who were the lucky ones. Rest well My Dear! I miss you and love you very much!
Always and forever, Your Miss Giggles/Your Mimi
P.S. I'll cover you! Always!
rest in peace good friend! you were a fantastic guy and I enjoyed all the times we talked! You were one of the most up beat persons I had the pleasure to know. I think I even have your singing of happy birthday to me from a few years back still on my zbp mail. fare well!
Our song. I'll cover you reprise from the movie version of Rent. This also has the scene that precedes it! Sorry for the crappy quality, it's the only one I found on youtube that was from the movie.

I only pray this guy knew how much he was appreciated and cared about. We should all be so lucky to leave such a wonderful impression, and to know we do so.
There are no words really. RIP.
I didn’t know Aaron well. After all, I only spoke to him a few times over the course of several years. But as posters above said, he’s somebody who you can never forget. When I heard about his passing on Facebook, I was so sad. Aaron had the ability to make me smile and laugh, just by being in the same chat room as him. He was such a vivatious and just overall happy person.
Every time I watch an episode of Star Trek TNG I think of Aaron. I’ve always heard Aaron and pictured him whenever Jordi La Forge speaks. His username was the first time I ever heard the term Command La forge, so the association just kind of stuck in my mind.
I barely knew Aaron, and I haven’t really spoken to him in a number of years. Nevertheless, I miss his personality in the world. I’m sad that he’s gone, and I know that to those who knew him well and who were really close to him, losing Aaron is like losing a bright star in the sky.
I only talked to him one or two times myself, but my best friend was very close to him and always told me the most hilarious stories about him. Wish I could've known him better. R.i.P. Aaron.
Namaste,
Becky
me and him talked a few times back when he used to come on here a few years ago. we'd let out sparks from our wands in greeting to each other then have some magic wars. no matter the winner, we'd cast a cheering spell on each other in the end.
if i was down or having a bad day he'd send me one of these spells, to make me feel peaceful and happier, that's what he said. and yes, those spells did work. because magic powers or not, i knew that he meant it. he really wanted me to feel more peaceful and happy.
he was a beautiful person to be around.
R.I.P beautiful Aaron
I spoke to arron a couple of times back when the zone had a Ventrilo server. didn't know he passed away until now. as quite a few of you have said, he's definitely someone you'll never forget once you've met him. I certainly won't.
Aaron left me this voicemail back in 2007 on my birthday. I think Pipi put him up to it. grin

Any of you who haven't, ought to look at the public search query @blackgayninja where you will find users' comments on Aaron Bradley.
It's been said you can tell a lot about a person by what people say after they die. I am personally challeneged to leave a mark or a legacy that is helpful and useful to people after I die.
I realize to some younger people this sounds like old guy talk, I get it: I thought the same at some of you all's age, but in recent years with friends having parents either close to death or parents who die, and dealing with my own family situations,this causes us to think about this. It's not the depressing or defeatist thinking a lot of people imagine: At 41 I have half a lifetime or more to make that mark, and some of you have considerably more time.
It's obvious Aaron was deliberately thoughtful of other people in ways most of us caught up in the rush of things never really are.
Pardon my musings.
Leo, very well said. although I'm young in the eyes of many, that's the way I live my life daily.
I was so very shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Aaron.
We were friends many years ago; use to always look forward to our chats on ventrilo. We fell out of touch about six years ago but I agree that he's one of these people you can never forget. Rest in pease man and catch you on the other side.
I've been meaning to make this post for a while, but have never had the chance to since I found out. Here goes:
I met Aaron, way, way back in the day when all of us would hang out on the zone ventrilo server back when the zone was a community that would be lucky to see more than 20 users logged in at any one time. Most of us back then were using windows 98 or windows ME machines.
Aaron and I found out we had a lot of things in common, least being shared favorite composers, songs, etc. Over the years, we've always kept in touch, despite occasional differences that had caused us to clash on several levels and say things that we later found out we really did not mean.
When I heard of how he died, I could only instantly recall how he use to call me every single day after he had his dialysis treatments. He'd be bored and waiting for someone to go pick him up, I'd be sitting at home with nothing to do since I use to go to school back then.
Aaron, as others have said, there are no words. I would put in the nickname that I use to call you by in our friendly banters, but I suspect that the zone drama queens would all start bitching if I did. The people who knew us and how we use to joke around I'm sure will be able to recall that nickname, at any rate. So, I'll just say RIP, Aaron.
I didn't know Aaron well, but I did talk to him on the ventrillo server sometimes. He was such a joyful and friendly person to speak with. He was always streight forward about things to and so funny. He was always singing. I have a recording of him singing Silent Night he did once for christmas. It was so beautiful.
I know, now that many of my friends have passed and have gone to a better place, that we should all live each day like it were our last, and live life to the fullest. You only live it once, and it's so precious. So R.I.P. Aaron, you will be missed by many. I'll see you on the other side.
Words can't express how saddened I am at Aaron's passing. I just found out. Aaron and I had a lot of differences, but we were friends, and I always enjoyed his conversation, his musical taste, and his humor. I will miss him.
You know, I wish I knew him better. I've known his sister for years and she always talked about him. My heart goes out to the family for sure.
Aaron has an obituary that was written at: http://epgn.com/bookmark/17881943/article-Obituary:+Aaron+Bradley+Rutgers+student+28#.T2KGVkQIAd_.facebook
I heard about this from a status on the zone from The Devel's Mistress, otherwise I would have had no clue.
Its too weird ya know? I haven't talked to the dude in 4 years or so. I did see him on the Voicechat server but honestly haven't been on that since the vintrillo server was taken down.Knew him from 1998 in school.
the first thing that went thru my head is "Say what?" wow. what the hell happend .
found out the next day. Though I haven't talked to the guy in forever, its just strange.
Ya just never know when it could happen. Hopefully the people you love actually know you love them.
Well since everybody is posting tributes here goes....
I'd post a singing tribute of him, but there are others involved and i didnt exactly get permition (maybe they dont want it out there?) not sure who all was in it i think Katie and Liz maybe? Anyways, so the Triplets of love (i think it was a take off of rent?) wont be posted.
Anyone who knows me knows i am way into radio, so I can probably get away with posting those here without problems.
I know he always liked WIOQ as a Dance CHR and Philly's B101 soft rock, so I'm gonna post two files that I have below.

John
Did not know him but hope he is in heaven.
If I'm not wrong in saying, it's been exactly a year since you passed away. Not a day goes by when I don't think of you and miss you. I know you're up there smiling down upon us and lighting the skies with your angelic spirit. I love you Aaron. Rest well Darling Boy.
I dunno the exact day. I can think of several people who would be able to give an exact date, but they dont come on here often much less post to the boards.
According to posts on his FB, it has been a year today. Miss you Aaron.
OH yeah i forgot he had Facebook. I have an account and dont use it.
Never met the guy, and I never heard of him until I was a member of the site for a few months. I also recall that his singing can still be heard on ZBP as it is one of the tones you could get when you first call in. It's good to see those of you who knew him keep him in your memories. I'm sure that is what he would want you to do, and remonis about the good times he and you had.
Oh my god. I didn't know. I hadn't spoken to Aaron in years, but yeah, he was such a great person to talk to. I remember having a lot of laughs with him, yet he was also a great person to debate with and share your views with. He had an amazing singing voice of course - I think we all know that. I didn't know you well, but you are missed Aaron. Rest in peace.
I'm glad this board is staying alive to be honest, no one had posted to it for a while and it made me quite sad. Aaron was one of a kind, such a unique and beautiful soul. Love you and think about you all the time Angel Baby.
RIP Aaron, you will always be thought of and missed by so many!
I still have the customized ringtone that you made for me.
Honestly, it warms my heart to know that I've known you. And now, you have Kevin over there as well.
Love from Africa, Aaron. Rest in peace to both of you.
Kevin? which kevin. was he on the zone too and i wonder if i know of him?
You know him, PorkInCider. There was a board topic created about it. I'm surprised you missed it. It has been posted to so much.
Woah... say what? wow.
okay i'll need to do a search for it.
Found it. wow.
