Our friend, low-key

[Disney.Dreamin.Dee]

Was a long time lurker and always loved seeing low-key's threads.
I had worried about him once but he came back.
I too was a bit concerned when I had not seen any posts lately.
I didn't know him outside of his funny survey style threads but I will miss him very much.

Very sad indeed. In honor of Low-Key I'll give a big "Northern Ohio Rocks!"

HIs last post was Dec 16, it was about Cobra Kai. He didn't post about being sick. I wonder when he passed away,

What? NO!

I'll always remember his "songs that say...." threads.

I haven't read all 7+ pages yet, so I apologize if this has been answered. Do we know what happened? Did his cancer come back?

No his cancer did not come back

He passed away Friday Jan 21st

I just want to say it speaks volumes to what kind of person he was that people remember so fondly, looked forward to and pulled from those threads to help brighten their days and get them through tough times. I'd like to think he would be really happy to know all those song threads touched so many people and gave such a lasting impression

He always reminded me of Capt Orr in Catch-22....always on a mission to bring us the lyrics of our lives, but still a mystery of a fellow and every time he came back to base here he had a kind insight, word, riddle, .....pun on life....a very dry humor of the early 80s Dave Letterman so always waited with anticipation of what was next. I had hoped to catch him in Vegas and take him down route 66 to Oatman.....yep. moderators were always looking us for types.

Thank you for letting us know, Dan. I am sincerely sad to read this. My heartfelt condolences to his family. We will miss him. I will miss him.

very sad, he was one of my favorite members to read on here

Hey

 

[TipsyTraveler]

Oh, this is very sad news indeed. I started lurking here about a decade ago and he’s one of the few posters who has just always been there, consistently, that whole time. (And long before, as well.) He was definitely a fixture of these boards and his absence will be felt by many. Thank you for letting us know @Dan Murphy and special condolences to @Kittyblue.

My favorite memories of Jason are:
Him talking about going to Vegas.
His polls.

 

[marthachick]

Sad to hear. I would post songs with <whatever word> in it and it always felt like a win when low-key liked them or commented. RIP Jason.

Long post. Very sad news.

hey....

 

[KathyTX]

I am broken hearted at this news. Jason was a kind and genuine soul, he and I chatted and he seemed always to check in on me when I was having trouble. Sometimes a pep talk, sometimes sharing and comparing our cancer treatments, sometimes just a friendly "Hey, just wanted you to know I was thinking of you." His love for women and pics of his pin-up girls sometimes pushed the limits here, but he never meant to offend anyone and truly cared about this community.

He took a little voluntary break as Pop Daddy years back, and returned as Low-Key. He laughed and told me he chose that new name to embody his new philosophy.

I will miss you, my friend.

I'm so sorry to hear this very sad news

 

[luvthatduke]

Oh my goodness. I am choking up.
Dan, you & others are so right that low-key was gentle & kind.
I remember getting a "hey" once or twice & it meant the world to me.

Bummed to hear this. I guess he used to have too much fun but he never took any of this too seriously because it seemed to be about having fun. He'd never take anything too personally. And I recall he said he said he spent some time in the Bay Area in the 80s (was that in the Navy?).
