Another day another bad news. RIP Joerii. It was a pleasure to have you with bitcoin and its people. My condolence to the family and close ones.
A few days ago I got the news that Bitcointalk member Joerii (Joeri Pross) passed away, leaving behind a wife and 2 young kids.
A lot of you may have known him as he was one of the "oldbie" users on this forum and community manager for a lot of projects, like Factom.
He went missing august 30th and his body was found september 2nd.
I just got to found out this sad news, so really painful. A lot of you may have known him as he was one of the "oldbie" users on this forum and community manager for a lot of projects, like Factom.

Looking at him I feel so petty for his kids losing their father at this tender age, and I feel very worried. Despite we members do not know ourselves much but the forum has brought us all as family, this is very sad news for me to lose one of us, I just wish is wife and children more strength at this point to overcome this painful lose of life. May his rest in peace.

That’s sad!A lot of you may have known him as he was one of the "oldbie" users on this forum and community manager for a lot of projects, like Factom.

Never heard of him but, getting to know him and what this would mean to his left behind, young kids at that and what this would mean for them, growing up without a father figure coupled with the circumstances surrounding his death, that’s just awful. Missing for few days only to be found dead in 3days, it’s such a pity for him.
I really hope he must have planted a trail to allow his left behind have access to his crypto portfolio and accumulations.
May his soul depart this world to rest peacefully in the bosom of whatever he believed in and his left behind find the heart to condole this irreplaceable lose in there existence. Another lose of a forum quality from what OP speaks of him.
Thank you #Turing for the news - Our digital paths never crossed, but I hope Joerii is at peace.
I must admit that I'm not famikiar with his name, despite that he was old time member. I never interacted with him, probably mainly because he was active on altcoin board. But from what I read now, it looks that he was good man.
It's always sad to read news that Bitcointalk member passed away, especially at such young age and in such tragic circumstances.
Rest in Peace, Joeri...

I remember that he manage one campaign here before that offers highest rate among all campaign's except Chipmixer.
Man, that's weird--he's been a member the entire time I've been here, and I don't remember ever seeing his username at all. And it's not like he didn't make a lot of posts, either. Maybe not a ton for someone who's been a member of bitcointalk for 10 years, but still. I had to look at his post history, and it's clear why his name didn't ring a bell, because he posted a lot in the altcoin section.I hate to see young people die, and looking at that picture of him he looks as though he's bursting with energy and enthusiasm. So although I didn't know him, RIP Joerii. It's obvious he touched a lot of peoples' lives, and my condolences to his family and friends.
This line of statement makes it more pitiable . It seems his death was mysterious and full of misery 💔.
according to the GoFundMe page, an investigation revealed that he slipped when he went to pee, landed very hard and fell into the water. it was such a truly unfortunate accident.Whenever I read about the death of a member of this forum, first I feel pity to the family and secondly I will conclude that it is such an opportunity for bitcoin to get lost. It is high time we began to pay good attention to these threads discussing private key and family members. We should ensure the bitcoin we hold don't die with us whenever we are no more. There should be atleast a member of our family we should trust. Even if the person is not trustworthy, we have to take the risk because anything can happen anytime.
It's so sad seeing that the bitcointalk platform lost a member. It is much a burden for his young family to be going through this experience. I must say this is a tough time for them as they mourn the demise of their father. It is unfortunate that he left behind two kids who would miss the fatherly love and care they deserve from him.
I see a go fund me campaign ongoing and so far it is going on successful. If I may ask, can it be replicated here?

Oh, wow, I feel sorry that he died at such a young age too, and the fact that he still has two young children is really going to be a lot of responsibility for the wife. The sure thing is, we're all going to go home (to the afterlife) one day, and no one knows when and why, whether it's for good or bad. Like a few people here have said that they don't know the user, I am only hearing about him for the first time today, and I also thank you, Turing, for bringing up the notice in the forum.
RIP. If you believed in God, then I pray that your soul finds peace in God.

As far as I know, he was a part of the mintlayer project. It was a quite different altcoin project, not like the traditional one. He managed a campaign for mintlayer here last year.
RIP, Joerii!!
RIP, Joerii!!
I checked his posts now and discovered he spent quite a time managing the Mintlayer project. But am not familiar with him, maybe he was inactive when I became active or he was active when I was not. My heart weeps for the young family he left behind. Life is full of sad events and death is one of them. RIP, Joerii.
The most painful part of the story of Joeri Pross is that he was just 40 and had a young family. His body was found in a river and the police ruled out crime. Which means that he either committed suicide or accidentally drowned. The rate of increase of suicide is becoming very high every day. You meet somebody today who looks happy, you might even party, drink, and laugh together but the next day a piece of news will break that he/she has committed suicide. People are dying in silence because of so many issues that they keep secret until they finally consume these issues. This is why it is important to treat people nicely so that you don't contribute to the secrets problems they are facing. May God show him mercy and grant him eternal rest.
Losing a loved one can be such a sick pain in the gut and I can only imagine the pain his family must be going through especially as he went missing for days only to be found dead..
Rest on, Joeri.

Sorry to hear about the death of user @Joerii, I hope that the family left behind will be given fortitude and patience. for the unfortunate trials he experienced.A lot of you may have known him as he was one of the "oldbie" users on this forum and community manager for a lot of projects, like Factom.
Even though @Joerii is one of the campaign managers on this forum, I am not very close or know him, but he is still one of the members who has given his best to the community here as a whole, but I pray @Joerii accepted by his side in another world. 
When you see news like this, you start to think about how a person can suddenly die. All our topics in the topic of reputation are sheer vanity of vanities. All of them turn into such a small thing compared to the grief that befell this young man and his family.
When you put it in that manner, it really does bring a new angle to the word vanity when used in context of the reputation thread. There is much more to life to look forward to rather than to be held back by vanities.I also want to express my condolences to the family; maybe one day they will come here just to read his life story here. I would also like to say: always tell your children and loved ones how much you love them and do not spare your feelings, because there may come a time when it will be too late.
I would like to echo the sentiments you have expressed so elegantly about condolences for the family. Also your advice to never spare feelings for those that you love and to tell them you love them otherwise there might not be another opportunity. 
RIP Joerii, our hearts goes out to your wife and children in this hard and sad time and i pray that they be able to get over this and be happy again.

Btw has anybody created a threads/index list (hall of fame a such) about people who pass away and leave forum for good?
Yes, when i used the search button i see Tranthidung created a "hall of fame" thread[1], though it hasn't be updated in more than a year, and i don't know if they plan on making any future update.[1] https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54216897
Condolence to his family. Based on the feedback and comments from users who knew him he is a nice guy and had some reputation on his name. Its quite unfortunate that we loss another prominent member here in the forum.
Anything like this is really a big blow on the community side. Btw has anybody created a threads/index list (hall of fame a such) about people who pass away and leave forum for good?

what a tragic accident, I feel bad for the wife but especially for the kids, growing up without a dad can be very hard for the kids. May he Rest in Peace and I hope his wife and children get all the support that they need.

As stated in the second article, there's a "GoFundMe" started for his wife and kids.
Already 585 donations have been made and €18,315 has been raised.

It is extremely sad news whenever an announcement is made about a forum member passing away. I cannot recall having any contact with him, I did not know him personally but my heart goes out to his family and friends and also to all those that knew him and those who held him in high esteem from the forum. A lot of you may have known him as he was one of the "oldbie" users on this forum and community manager for a lot of projects, like Factom.

It is because of very poignant moments such as these that allow for moments of self analysis and reflection, when I wonder how things can change from one situation to another within the blink of an eye and what steps can be taken to financially protect loved ones for when the worst does happen. This is heartbreaking news.
Though it will never soften the blow of his loss, at least his family will not have to go through a protracted period of trauma if his death was being investigated as suspicious. Investigators have ruled it was an accident and I am sure we all send our sympathies and support to his family and friends.
I spoke to him on Telegram a lot, he always had ideas and was very creative, driven and he really could organize something and keep his promises.
Honest and generous too, not really caring about money but more about "being part of the game" in general.
I'm not saying I was among his best friends but we got along fine and had many things / interests in common.
"De mortuis nil nisi bonum", the Romans said. But about him, I couldn't think of any negative.
From the way you refer to him it is clear Joeri Pross was a good person, it is difficult to comprehend what his wife and children are going through. I hope the donation target is exceeded by a huge margin as it will contribute towards the benefit of his family.
