It is with great sadness that we announce that Anthony Muoio, a.k.a Prawker; Friend and valued member of this community has passed away from cancer. He was 17.

 

He had been ill for some time, and although he had multiple surgeries to treat the rare CASTLE cancer, and was declared cancer-free in december it returned, and yesterday morning the battle was finally lost.

 

He will be sorely missed by us all here at InsanelyMac, and our thoughts go out to his family and all those who knew him in person.

 

Goodbye, Prawker, you were taken from us far too soon.

This is a horrible thing to see after being out of the community-loop for so long.

 

It really makes you think about life. Everything that can change in a heartbeat.

 

R.I.P. Prawker.

 

He was an awesome guy.

 

"...it's a Compaq Presario."

castle != lungs

castle = thyroid

 

u aint stopping me smoking that easy :P

 

CASTLE = CArcinoma Showing Thymus Like Element

 

Supposedly, it has a distinctly good prognosis (meaning it's relatively survivable) due to the fact that it's usually relatively non-aggressive. Unfortunately, in some cases, it can present in a highly aggressive form, which I am assuming is what happened to Prawker (and thus making it even more tragic). I only hope he didn't suffer too much. Cancer {censored} blows. I know, I watched my grandpa die of prostate cancer 18 years ago. I hope Prawker didn't suffer like Grandpa did, although reading Prawker's posts, it seems he was a guy who made the most of life, and OSX86 probably kept him sane through his ordeal.

 

RIP Prawker :D

I feel really bad about this especially since I'm the same age as he was. I hope he can rest in peace knowing we won't forget him.

I'd bet that due to the love and support on this board, he's up there in Heaven, just looking forward to the day that he can actually meet each and every one of us (not looking too forward to it though, as he's got eternity - no need to rush things). God had something bigger and better for him planned in Heaven, perhaps He needs help with His Hackintosh. Prawker's passing has been tough for us all, but just keep in mind, he is now cancer free, and free of any suffering.

 

Again, RIP Prawker...... :(

Any age to die is far too young but 17 years for such a creative person is even worse.

 

I am not sad for him, he was probably in much more pain than we could ever imagine. I am more sad for us because the world lost someone with such talent so early in his prime.

 

I never knew this person but my thoughts and prayers are with the family and the community that has shown him love.

 

Peace

Just saw his pic, a bright and cheerful young man. 17 is too young to go. A really sad piece of news. My wishes are with his family and friends in these trying times.
