RIP BreizhManu

I am here to announce very sad news. We have had confirmation that Manuel Martin (Brezellec) known here as BreizhManu has passed away. He was going to turn 40 on April 20.

After not seeing BreizhManu as active as usual on the FOF MP leagues he was usually active in, Ben asked MIJB#19 and myself to try getting in touch with Manuel. After a few days, his brother replied to me from Manu Facebook account to let me know that Manu died from a heart-attack.

BreizhManu was a long-time FOFC member, playing for many years in several FOF multiplayer leagues.

He'll be missed.

BEN EDIT: I've done some asking around, and it seems that it's unlikely that Manu would have wanted people to give to a charity in his name. For those who have inquired about that, I recommend giving to a local charity of your choice, perhaps something related to heart ailments.

RIP...BreizhManu.

Call it me getting older, but my emotions are rampant and this brought tears. We are a big happy and a lot of the time dysfunctional family but this board and everyone on it has helped me overcome some serious shit in my life. It is definitely upsetting to lose a member of our family.

Hits close to home. My dad had his first heart attack when he was 42 and here I am at 38. Scary to think that you can be snuffed out in an instance.

RIP BreizhManu. You'll be missed.

Rest in peace, BreizhManu
