Rest In Peace, Chocky. Everyone give out the comforting thoughts to our fellow Browncoats in Australia, mourning the loss of one of their own. Says the lead-off post on Serenity Oz: "Our dear friend Chocolate died early this morning at St Vincents Hospital."

My whole family sends their condolences to all the browncoats in Oz, as well as to Chocolate's family. From the warm memories of Chocolate shared on Serenity Oz, it's plain to see he was a wonderful, kind person, and will be greatly missed.

Very moving post and comments. RIP.

Thank you so much for linking this, I dearly wanted to, but...I dunno, I'm just so crumpled up inside. We all loved him so dearly, he was a great friend, and I can honestly say, the man completely changed my life. I've hardly been able to stop the tears since I found out yesterday morning.
I was going to see him yesterday with Mims, I just wish I'd given him one last hug. Anyways, this is one Browncoat who will be remebered.

There's no doubt he knew how you felt about him, Nixy, and he felt your hug (and might still feel it now); I believe it's like that between friends and family who care about one another.

billz | March 05, 03:30 CET

Sorry for your loss Aussie Browncoats. Sounds like a decent bloke and even tho' I didn't know him from Adam, like the fella said 'any man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind'.

Bear in mind tho', no-one who's remembered is ever completely gone.

Saje | March 05, 04:53 CET

Yes, I know he knew how I felt, how all of us felt.
He'd be terribly embarrassed by all this attention. I'm going to miss him, we all will. We're a very close community, we often spoke about how much we all love one another, and how we've become a family. In a lot of ways Chocky was our patriarch.
I'm so glad he got to meet Joss.

Joss thank you for helping make his last year, what he described to me, as being one of his best.

Rest easy, browncoat. :(

Tycho | March 05, 05:05 CET

Deepest and heartfelt condolences.

Lunakitty | March 05, 06:03 CET

Incredibly sorry to hear about this. While I didn't know him, it is clear that he touched many lives. He will be missed.

When you can't run you crawl, and when you can't crawl...when you can't do that...
You find someone to carry you.

Wish I'd still been in Australia to meet Chocky. All comforts to all those close to him in the OzBrowncoats community, keep the memories close to y'all.

Mort | March 05, 11:00 CET

Its just so very obvious how much he touched the lives of so many of you, and how much you all loved him.

So Rest In Peace.

Apocalypse | March 05, 12:09 CET

He was a hell of a man. We'll miss him for sure.

discofever | March 05, 12:15 CET

Although I left my condolences on the other thread on which this was mentioned, I wanted to add them here as well. My thoughts are with everyone there in OZ, whether friends or family.

newcj | March 05, 12:24 CET

I didn't know him, but God rest his soul. He sounded so wonderful...

UnpluggedCrazy | March 05, 13:26 CET

Ya know, he really was.

nixygirl | March 05, 13:35 CET

To everyone who has been affected by this loss, please accept my sincere condolence. I cannot know how you are feeling but I hope you find comfort and strength from each other and the knowledge that your friend was much loved.

alien lanes | March 05, 15:59 CET

My thoughts towards Chocolate's family. He was a good man and he will be missed.

Madhatter | March 05, 16:38 CET

My sincere condolences to all of you who knew him.

carinson | March 05, 18:14 CET

This is so very sad, I just cried, and I didn't know him. It's awful when bad things happen to good people. Everyone posting pictures and quotes and supporting each other is very beautiful... and makes me feel special to be involved in a "fandom" that is so loving.

Passion | March 05, 19:26 CET

Like Saje said. My condolences to Chocolate's family and all the Aussie Browncoats, who are cool folks.

I echo what others said, though words hardly do justice in a situation like this. I did not know this person, but in reading what has been said, it's obvious a whole lot of people cared about him very much. My condolences to everyone who knew him.

GVH | March 06, 01:05 CET

I'm rubbish at saying anything about these things (never take me to funerals - it's like setting Chandler loose on everybody). So, uhm, sorry to all those who knew the man.

gossi | March 06, 01:35 CET

Sad, sad, sad...deep condolences to all his family and friends. Nice that he did get to meet Joss...sounds like it was lucky for Joss, too, that he got to meet Chocky.

God bless.

Chris inVirginia | March 06, 03:53 CET

Thank you everyone. A copy of this thread, and the one at SOz will be given to his family this week.
