I remember DHunken from MJ's back in the first weeks I discovered Adam, and later followed him on twitter. I have been wiping tears away for an hour over a (sweet, kind) man I never met or even communicated with. RIP Donald Same here, didi, sooo sad... |

Oh, Dhunken...  I will never forget the sweet-spirited man who was one of the first personalities I noticed in my early days in the fandom. Funny, kind, and gentle, but with a fierce love for Adam and those who loved him. As Aloha pointed out, Dhunken was always deeply respectful of everyone's opinion and knew how to disagree with love. He always had a kind word for his online friends. And he was always ready to be silly. Truly a beautiful soul. Rest in peace, my friend. If anyone ever tells me this world we inhabit isn't real, I offer this-- Dhunken was a friend. He was a good person. I know this as sure as I know my own "RL" friends. The grief that we feel over the passing of this kind man is real. So is the love. Adam brought us together, not as virtual fans in a make believe world, but as real people who share a love of an artist, and humane and UNimpeachable values, and a whole lotta love. This Adam fandom is a legitimate expression of so many things that are right with the world. |

For those of you that remember Dhunken from MJ's, I'm just reading on twitter that he passed away Adam brought him great joy [sits morosely, staring at news] I knew he was very sick, and had been for quite some time. That's the reason why he passed on numerous invites from various people to come to different GNT shows. I never knew what his illness was - he talked back and forth a lot with halfie when things started going bad. He mainly posted at mj's, but came frequently to PF's number thread. I saw him at ALF when it first came on line, but not so much at Adamtopia. But all his posts started decreasing dramatically a few months ago. I was wondering what was going on. I don't know why Loaded Smile resonated so much with him, but apparently that was his go-to song. He was a great guy. I'll miss him. [walks away, unable to find an emoticon that's able to fit....] |

I remember him from my early days lurking on MJ's and from the few times he came over to PF. Eventually, I stopped going to MJ's other than checking out the headlines thread once in a while. So, I haven't kept up with him as much as some of you. But he made a lasting impression on me anyways. He was so passionate and yet so patient and kind. It is a very sad day, indeed. |

Yes, according to reports on Twitter, that is Dhunken's obituary. |

Very sad news about Dhunken. I do remember him from MJ's. He was a special person and I'm so sorry he's not with us anymore.
And Adam tweeting about Anoop - who else does this? He is so very supportive of other performers. It's not a mystery why fans who love him are very special too.
