This post was originally posted on fluidanims, but since this was his first forum, I will also post it here.

Lixu spent a lot of time on stickpage

Well, I allways knew that one day someone that most of us know would die somehow, and with the amount of members our community is gaining each day, the chances get higher and higher for this sort of thing.

Some people liked him (Me), and some people not so much.

But never the less he is a life, just like any of us, and when something like this happens, you really appreciate how precious life is.
Approximately 2 weeks ago, Lixu was killed in a fatal Truck accident, and that is all I know at this point.

I only actually found out by accident, I ran into his Father on msn.

Makes me think about the fact, that many animators we know and love may disapear without even the slightest little notice.
I wouldnt want to fade away and become a distant memory.
So this is why I have made this thread.

Oh dear guys, this is hard even for me.

He is indeed dead, I kind of allready knew from the beginning that he was, but knowing the 100% truth is really really herd.
Just to think that one day he was on fluidanims typing and chatting to us, and then the next day hes gone.

He was hit by a truck while walking to school.

If you want to read about his death you can read it here http://dierbareherinneringen.nl/robin-moonen/
If you want the page translated to english click this http://translate.google.com/translate?j ... auto&tl=en
Although the picture will need to be translated by someone who speaks Dutch.


I may not be on the forum for a little while, im pretty upset.

I thought he was a dick, but reading this kinda shocked me.

I'm dutch too, so I'll translate.
Quote from Dutch site
De 16-jarige Robin Moonen uit Hedel is maandagochtend overleden toen hij op weg naar school werd aangereden door een vrachtwagen. De jongen werd zwaargewond naar een ziekenhuis gebracht waar hij snel bezweek aan zijn verwondingen.

Deze gedenkplaats is ter nagedachtenis aan Robin Moonen, je kan het condoleanceregister tekenen, een kaarsje branden, of een dierbare herinnering met een foto plaatsen.


The 16-year old Robin Moonen from Hedel died Mondaymorning when he was hit by a truck on his way to school. The boy was brought to the hospital, heavily injured and passed away there.

This memorial is for the thought of Robin Moonen, you can sign the 'condoleanceregister' (I dunno what the english word is for it), light a candle or place a precious memory with a photo.



Also, the image on the right side states that he was cremated 10:30 AM on sunday January 30th, and at the bottom it says 'We would like everyone to bring a drawing to his funeral so that he can think in his grave 'I can do that better '.

I already said that:

' Also, the image on the right side states that he was cremated 10:30 AM on sunday January 30th, and at the bottom it says 'We would like everyone to bring a drawing to his funeral so that he can think in his grave 'I can do that better '. '

The rest of it is: We love you, we miss you.

Shit. That's really bad.


And has anyone heard from Ustartin in the last few months? I haven't seen him on MSN for ages and none of his accounts are active.

Oh, no... We were never actually friends. The guy was rather annoying but... he didn't deserve this. Nobody deserves this, not only 16 years old. I regret all the times I ever picked on him... I wish he was still alive. It's really bad people die like this. R.I.P.
