RIP

:(

That sucks. RIP. Never met him but he was an AZ guy so it hits different.

PsykoTek was an interesting cat. It's terrible that he's gone, but at least he went peacefully. It's not much, but it's something.

Son of a bitch. He amused the hell out of me, always seemed like he didn't have a care in the world. Told me a lot stories about growing up here in Nebraska. He will be missed.

Damn..RIP Tek.:(

Horrible news... interacted with him a bit, not much. Sad to hear about his passing.

Rest in Peace

Rest in peace.

Rest in peace .

:(

Damn sorry RIP

Safe travels, my friend.

RIP.

RIP Psyko!

Sad news to start the day. Condolences to the family and those close such as Raidersfan.

May he rest in peace.

R.I.P. Psycho Tek.

So do we know what happened to him?

He didn't go to the dentist.
 

He drank beer, smoked cigarettes, and ate meat. When he got a toothache, he thought he could push through. It became abscessed. We will know more next week, but it appears that his heart just couldn't take the added strain of the infection.
So go to the damned dentist! Just sayin'
He made it until his kids were grown. He played a huge part in that. He was very proud of his children.

Sorry to hear this.. thoughts and prayers to his family...

RIP

Wow, was here as recently as 10-17-2017 11:50 PM. Sad news, RIP fellow Chiefs fan. Life is short...

That's crazy and sad. If that really lead to his death, that is completely unfortunate and unnecessary. RIP, my friend.:(

How old was he?

RIP

Might have been sepsis. We lost a local high school teacher who was only in his early 40's to it recently. He had a seemingly minor knee injury and basically dropped dead with almost no warning from sepsis.

In any case, way too young for Tek to go. :(

Damn. RIP.

RIP

52

****. R.I.P man.

Thanks for letting us know. I thought he was too young for it to be something that wasn't unusual.

That does sound reasonable. I know little about it, but I've read that it's more common and more dangerous than most of us think.

He was always a good dude to me, very sorry to hear this

52... damn, RIP

dam, RIP he was cool

RIP

RIP

Ah man, what the hell? He was an entertaining guy, and seemed to be a good all around dude.

RIP

Rest In Peace, Psyko

Sorry to hear that

Sorry to hear about your loss.

RIP

Life is short make the most of it.

RIP and comfort to family and friends.

He was always very cool to me.

RIP

I`m sorry

RIP

RIP

Dangit. He was one of the good ones.
RIP

RIP

Sorry to hear that, and sorry for your loss. RIP.

Quality poster....
Way too young to go....
RIP PT

Dang, RIP. Toothaches are one of those things you try to push through but they're dangerous.

I had an abscess when I was a kid and it damn near killed me. Ended up being hospitalized over it for several days. The doctors told my mom that if she had waited another day to bring me in I probably wouldn't have made it.

That shit's not something you play games with.

This last year has been brutal for CP members passing, all in their late 40's early 50's!

- BigMeatball Dave
- Saccapoo
- Lonewolf Ed
- PsykoTek

I hope I didn't forget the memory of one of our dearly departed members.

All great guys

Damn I had forgotten about Sac already.

Right in the feels.

And sadly, that's only the ones we know about. You've got to wonder about guys like Laz, who had 95,000+ posts and then one day just stopped posting. I hope he just moved on, but who knows?

RIP Tek. :(

Man.. I find it hard to believe not one person on this site knows Laz outside of it enough even to just know if he is okay..

RIP..

That's heartbreaking. Thanks for the update and also for letting us know. It drives us nuts when people disappear.

Not much identifying info to go off of.

There is no pushing through a tooth infection, the sleepless torture is only going to increase thats for sure... the pain might even kill you before the actual infection does

Basically, unless people become friends in real life, how could you know? A lot of people on here are very guarded about their personal life. Sometimes because their anti-social pricks, sometimes because they're just private people. I don't recall ever meeting Laz, or hearing about his attending any sort of gathering.

I just sprained one of my canines a bit and couldn't make it through the night without it waking me up just from being touched. Can't imagine what an abscessed tooth would feel like.

RIP

Needed a root canal 6-7 years ago, and the lead up to it was an All Timer

Apply all the Anbesol you want, but at some point it wont do you a damn bit of good... gonna have to go see the doc no matter what

RIP. Will be missed.

Thanks for the news.

My condolences. RIP

Sad to hear about Psyko; my prayers to his family. Regarding the tooth infection that reminds me of my younger days. I was a mail carrier back then and I had an infected tooth. It hurt so bad I stopped at my house (luckily on the route) and heated a sewing needle and punctured the puss pocket above the tooth. The tooth drained out and there was immediate relief and I returned to the route. The tooth actually died and dropped lower than the rest of my teeth but nothing else. That was over 40 years ago. l guess I got lucky.

Prayers for him.
Condolences to his family and friends.
May he rest in peace.

Sadly I need to add mikey23545 to this list....looks like he passed last year from complications of diabetes. Sorry for the oversight.

5 deaths in one year and as the age of us old farts keep getting higher, so will the passings. :deevee:

Not that it makes it better, but mikey actually passed in 2015. We just didn't learn about it until this year.

Whats so sickening about all of our recently deceased guys is just how YOUNG they were... Dave, Sacc, Ed and now Psyko at 52! was by far the oldest of them all, good grief its crazy

This story brings a point across so here it is again!
 

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee


When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. All of the students laughed.

"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things. God, your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions. If everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else, the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes in life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what does the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.
It just goes to show that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

He always seemed like one of the good people on here, it's sad he has passed on to the next life. My condolences and may we meet in heaven.

See you on the other side, RIP.

Well, ****.

Prayers sent...

I've never heard of such a thing.

RIP, Pysko Tek, thanks for sharing you time and thoughts here.

That is crazy

:(

RIP

You just CAN'T let your teeth go. I know (personally) that it sucks to go in and get everything fixed after you've neglected it for a few years (or decades), but you've simply GOT to. Tooth decay is SIGNIFICANTLY associated with MAJOR chronic health problems. Not saying this was the case in Psyko's (RIP) case as it sounds like more of a tragic one-off event, but just as an FYI.

I had perfect teeth and stopped going to the dentist when I was in college. Kept putting it off and putting it off, next thing you knew, I hadn't been to dentist in 10 years. My teeth still looked great, but they were starting to fail in the back. Long story short, $15k, 3 implants, 2 root canals, 2 crowns, and multiple redone fillings later, I finally got a handle on it. Now back to going every 6 months like I should have been all along. Reading about all the diseases caused by tooth decay scared me straight.

We need to do everything we can to keep ourselves off this list for as long as possible.

This is crazy. I had no idea this was possible and started reading.

His posts were always alot of fun. Going to be missed around here.

People really have no idea that if you have an infection in your body, and don't treat it, that it can kill you?

I mean I figured this was common knowledge? No offense to Psyko Tek and it sounds like he just ignored it figuring it would go away.

People DO die from not getting root canals taken care of so don't mess around with it.

Rest easy sir.

Man, you have no idea the things people will go thru to avoid getting their teeth fixed.

It's crazy.

Awful news

RIP

He died from an infection after a root canal?
