Steve Neill's wife has died.

[Ruddigger]

Mods feel free to move or delete if you wish, but Steve Neill is still a member here, if not an active one, and I know he has inspired a lot of people on these boards. Including me.

Steve's wife has been sick with cancer and Steve has been struggling financially to keep up with his normal bills and his wife's medical bills too. If anybody here knows Steve or is a fan of his work I'm sure he could use some kind words or help right about now.

Just thought I'd pass the news along, he talks about on his latest YouTube video today.

Damn that sucks. We're with him in spirit if not in person.

I can not imagine the pain he must feel right now. Steve, my thoughts and prayers to you and your family for such a great loss....

Pass on our condolences. Sad news.

I've been dreading this. Every time there was a lapse in his videos, I feared the worst. There isn't a single thing that can be said or done to ease his loss right now, but my sympathies are with him and his family.

So sorry to hear, our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

I've been following his videos but hadn't seen today. By the tone of his last video it was clear that it was almost time.

Very sad news. RIP.

In the personal dealings that I had with Steve, I found him to be the most upright, genuine and generous of souls, and this is something I would never wish upon him or anyone else. Steve, my heart goes out to you, Mate. It is obvious that your devotion to your beloved wife was/is absolute.
You are missed here by a great many people and I hope that you are not going through this alone. You are in the thoughts of my wife and me tonight...

I suspected from some of the things he'd said recently in his videos that her time was getting short, but it's still a shock when it happens.

Steve, my prayers and deepest condolences. I only knew your wife as the voice of your ship's computer, but it's obvious how close the two of you were.

I was afraid this was coming when he mentioned "hospice" one or two videos ago. I think they only show up near the end. That is what happened with my mom a couple weeks ago. I assume that is part of the reason Doug went to pick up his Time Machine when he did.

And folks, I can almost guarantee that Steve is not reading any of this. Not to stir up old trouble, but he was pretty adamant about giving up all forums when he left. If you want to leave comments he will actually read, go over to his blog and leave them there.

This is terrible news. Steve is one of my heroes. I've been following his youtube channel and kinda knew this was coming, but that doesn't make it any easier. I really hate it when things like this happen to good people. This deeply saddens me. My condolences to Steve.

Already did. But ya, a small part of me hopes he still knows he has friends here.

As a cancer survivor myself I am very sorry to hear of this.

I've only had the chance to chat in a few PM's with Steve, and I found him to be a very nice, thoughtful and friendly guy. There is nothing that can be said to ease the grief, but it still is worth saying that we are all thinking of him and hoping he finds a way out of the loss his is dealing with. So very sad.

My condolences, Steve.
