Chex overdosed

Chex's fiancee Patty was kind enough to find us in IRC and let us know that Chex, AKA Maciej Danielewicz, passed away Monday morning from a heroin overdose. The internet being what it is, I went looking for an obituary or news clipping on it, and couldn't find anything, but a couple of us have him on Facebook and there are RIP notes and such.



Those of you who have kept up with his hijinks know that Chex had a rollicking history spanning the gamut from bank robbery to teaching children how to read. His various felonies and incarcerations always seemed wierd and hilarious to me; I only knew him as this self-contained, sweet guy, like a polish buddha, who drove all the way from Michigan to Boston by himself for BBP 5.2, not knowing anybody but showing up for the party anyway. To be scientific about it, a big piece of his motivation there was hardcore marf-meeping, but it still counts as an act of bravery.

Chex was living in Pittsburgh but evidently his family has taken him home for the funeral, which is at...

Gorsline Runciman funeral home
1730 East grand river avenue
east lansing MI
Thursday at 6 pm

It'd be pretty rad if anyone who happens to be nearby showed up, thanked his parents, and took one last LinkSwarm Makes Me Wet picture with his casket. I bet he'd appreciate it.

EDIT: Here's the memorial page his parents put up -- as Clavis points out, visitation hours are at 5 at the funeral home.

When I checked Facebook to see if there might be a confirmation, Facebook was kind enough to let me know that Azron is 70% finished setting up his profile. Felt wierd.

You know, hitch-hiking like you were just talking about is cool and all, but if we shoot you the money for an Amtrak deal, you could leave Wednesday and not have to miss work. It's like $50 round-trip, too.

EDIT: The wondrous LBP meeped up reading Amtrak's site -- it's $50 one way, but still. You in?

As much as I don't want to get involved, (with anything outside of wotak family), I will be kissing this mothermeepers dead face. I wanted to know him.

We live once. Chex finished his.

I think I might meet up with Clavis for a ride. Thank you for the offer.

Sounds like a guy who did it his way.

This calls for a VIKING FUNERAL!

Chex and I had more than one late night conversation on AIM or in gmail.
The topics of which were usually drug use/abuse etc. He shared his stories and I shared mine. I think he really wanted to change the way he was living but didn't seem to know how or if it was possible.
I feel surprisingly affected by his death and am having the usual feelings that occur when a friend, who is a drug addict, dies. I lost a close friend to heroin late last year, a former supervisor to methadone last week, and now chiggity-chex-hole dies.

I can tell you one thing though, I certainly am glad I no longer play pharmaceutical Russian-roulette.

Life is weird, and short. Act accordingly.

Very sad. My condolences to his RL friends and anyone who had a personal relationship with Chex.

I've had some conversations with him lately, they were focused on relationships and loss. He was a dude that acted a lot like me, felt everything real meeping huge like me. In many ways talking to him was like talking to myself, a window into what I could be like if desperate enough.

He was running out of stuff to live for, felt life funnelling him into the type of person he didn't want to be, and like meepbox said, really wanted to try to change.

I'm gonna miss him, a lot, I had plans on taking a ride on my bike to go have some beers with him this summer.

For what it's worth, it just occurred to me that, having died of a heroin overdose, his last few moments probably felt insanely meeping awesome.

As I held my infant son this morning, sipping coffee and watching the sun come up, it occurred to me that Chex's dad probably had similar moments with him. It simply boggles the mind to think of all the ways it can get sideways between those moments and a day like Monday.

I'll miss Chex. A lot.

But today I feel overwhelmingly sad for his dad.

I liked this guy. He robbed a bank for meeps sake. Too bad in the same regard, he couldn't find the courage/desperation/will/stupidity it takes to live.

I hope you are in a better place, chex. Condolences to his friends, family, and child.

Browsing journals and link comments today, I noticed Chex's contributions popping up here and there and it's cool to think that he'll be lurking around LS and elsewhere on the internet for long into the future.

Sleep well, Chex. I'll miss you mate.
