I just joined this forum to share some sad news with the Overclockers Community. I am a close personal friend of Ryan Bredin who's username on here is Verran. I know he spent alot of time on these boards so I thought I should join on to pass along the word.

That is horrible, I don't even know what to say.
As others have said I knew he was having health issues but I didn't realize he was that ill, I guess cancer can be completely unpredictable.
R.I.P Ryan you will be sorely missed...
