I am one of the lucky ones here who got to meet Art in person. This news deeply saddens me.
Kent, please let me know when we can help with things.

WTF?!?!?!Damnit all! This is the second time within a month that a motorist-cyclist encounter has taken away somebody I can only wish to have known a lot better. Awful. Just awful. So very sad for everyone that really had the privilege of knowing YK, either online or off. I'm so sorry.  damn damn damn (Excuse me for cutting out with only one post. I'll feel funnier tomorrow. I promise.)
Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on ipernity! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*

There was a link to a local news story about the accident. News story I registered and made this comment Ardie was a member of a message board with me. Everyone on the board is saddened by the loss of our Yellow Kid (Ardie's screen name) He will be missed so much.
All our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

*saddened by the news with a lot of tears filling up* speechless to say anything.
Farewell, Yellow Kid, you will be missed greatly.

I feel so fortunate to have had the chance to meet and spend time with Art in Texas a few years back. He always had a twinkle in his eye, a boundless sense of fun, and a very self-evident love for his family and pride in his children.
What a terrible loss for his family, for Legion World, and for all the other people that he touched over the course of his life.
Rest in peace.

This is awful news. On top of some stories I've been editing at work this week, it's been an awful time on the roads lately, no matter how you get along.
Like so many others, I only knew him by his posts, and I never really participated in the roleplay, so I know him even less, but this is horribly sad news.

50 is so young, even though the Legion thought it was 'geriatric'.
I pray for his family and his friends, for comfort with their pain and grief.
He was such a nice person.

Ardie was one of the people who made Legion World a community. Even though he'd been around for years, I feel I only got to really know him in recent months, due to his posting on the political threads and others. Ardie revealed a bit of his own life in such posts, and I felt closer to him because of his candor.
My heart goes out to his family and friends. They--and we--have lost a great guy.

This is just awful! I was one of the lucky few who met him back at the first 'mass' meeting in Dallas. He and I were the only smokers so we would hang outside and smoke and talk a bit and he really struck me as a fun-loving easygoing guy. Tall and thin with longish hair, a Legion fan extraordinaire...
I'm really in a state of disbelief...

Dang. I only knew him as a poster here, but he obviously had a real passion about the Legion and other areas. My prayers for comfort for his family and friends.
Long Live all them Legions!

They are managing with the arrangements, and she will get back to me on other details. She said any of us who wanted to attend would be more than welcome.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

And not that I'd be going, but when are the services?

Though I never had a direct exchange on here with Yellow Kid,he seemed like a nice guy who cared about the Legion and his fellow posters,
My prayers also go out to his family and friends.
I tried to rip their soul out.I tried to make them forget Superman.
But they won't.

I wasn't privileged to know Yellow Kid other than through the aoccasional on-line posting, but I do recall that he seemed to be a decent and thoughtful fellow.
My sincerest condolences to his friends and family.
If the meek shall inherit inherit the Earth, then I at least want Baffin Island - and a property manager to work for me who is made of sterner stuff than I.

I know I'm not here all that often but I'd just now found out..I spent te entire time staring at the screen in disbeleif. Art was one of the people I'd been hoping to meet at comic con or any of the other places that we would have met up at. He , more than anyone, was the one person I talked to the most in regards to my art and just the fandom in general...I just don't really have anywords I really don't.
I'm gonna miss you man, and my wishes and best to your family.
