Rest in peace Ant80

[Jake]

He was a regular poster on the on the recruiting board, which is where I became acquainted with him We
became friends on Facebook and I had spoken to him via phone on a couple of occasions. I got the news this evening of his demise. Please include his family in your prayers:

Wow, he was young. I thought "80" was his graduation year rather than his birth. That's awful.

Me too.

Here is a kid who grew up in Chennai, India and realized a dream to attend Ohio State. He then went on to do great things in the world. His obituary mentions what? That he was a great fan of Ohio State.

If I recall, he was a bit problematic when he first arrived and got a few warnings. Except for those who knew him, how many of us would have thought of him as a great scientist working on important biomedical problems like autism and modeling "big data"?

Makes you wonder about the incredible diversity hidden behind the avatars and signatures on this board, the incredible challenges that some people here have overcome just to be part of Ohio State, and the things folks are doing when they are not posting here, no?

Stings when you lose people who are doing things that try to make the world a better place or life more sustainable. RIP Ant80.

Wow ... just read his LinkedIn account.. we were both EcEs at the same time at OSU... damn man.. that sucks.

ANT 80, failed to list his greatest career achievement on his Linkedin profile. While at tOSU, he worked part time at the WAC. That's where his love for OSU football was born.

EDIT; All kidding aside, that may have been the happiest time of his life.

Awful news. RIP.....

So sad. RIP ant

 

[Buckeye86]

I hope his family and friends find comfort in this difficult time.

I’ve thought before about how this is going to happen more and more for online communities as generations continue to grow old with the internet... it will be a strange phenomenon.
