@Abe and...I guess the rest of the VG Collect community.
I wanted to wait until after the holidays to post this, but I found out yesterday that Kenny passed away over the summer. Basically, I saw a weird Facebook post on his timeline that said "Kenny Mowbray 10/25/1970 - 7/24/2016." I PM'd one of his FB friends and asked about everything and she confirmed later that afternoon that he is no longer with us.
I was just speechless when what I feared ended up being true. I didn't want to pry for details about "how" or "why."
If not for Kenny, I would have never joined this forum. This community. Hell, even before VG Collect, Kenny was a solid friend. We clicked instantly. His personality, wit, charisma and sense of humor were so magnetic.
The last time I talked to him was just days before his passing. He told me he was going through some stuff and I asked if there was anything I could do. His response was simply, "Just keep being a good friend to me."
I feel like I have more to say about him but I'm still kind of drained from everything. I'm really going to miss him.
