Sad news

[docholiday51]

Cat fans are one less in number, we lost KyfaninNC last night at about 11 pm. He died due
to complications after surgery. We were friends for over 40 years. He was a person who spoke his
mind and was true to his beliefs. A near scratch golfer at 70 and a fun guy to be around. I will
miss him and our phone conversations after every game. He didn't watch the games after
a certain point last season but was going to watch this season, I wish he had gotten the
chance to do so.

Sorry to hear you lost your friend. He was a member of this board for a good long time.

I guess it's a good reminder that you should stick with your team through thick and thin, because you never know when the good Lord will bring you home.

So sorry to hear about his passing. Prayers for his family and friends!

Rest In Peace Kyfaninnc. We rarely agreed but I always knew you stood on your convictions and wanted the cats to win.

I'm sorry for your loss, and for the diminishing of the entire Big Blue Nation which his passing represents.

I enjoyed his constant and funny assaults on UNC-Cheats for the phony, cheating culture there, which I enthusiastically joined in on. He always seemed level headed and true to the Wildcats. I'm sure those who knew him better could add greatly to that list, but even just in a cyber-acquaintance his qualities came through.

My condolences to you and to his family.

Thanks for the kind words, he was a Cat fan to the end. He enjoyed the board, loved the discussion and the good natured give and take we all have on almost every topic under the sun

Rest in Peace, fellow Cat fan. Always sad to hear about another Wildcat passing.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Very sorry to hear. He definitely spoke his mind and will be missed. RIP.

In this case Jackson Browne's "For the Dancer" might be a better fit

Prayers for family and friends.

Prayers for you and his family. He posted what he felt and I respect him for doing it. “Fair Winds and following winds”

Too depressing! Even though the lyrics may be a bit direct, there is a reason "Another one Bites the Dust" is one of the most common played songs at funerals. It makes people smile and remember the good times.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

Prayers. Terrible news. RIP @KyFaninNC

 

[Chuckinden]

Sorry to hear this.

 

[MbergCat]

Man I hate to hear that. He was a solid poster, and even at 70, still too young to go home.

 

[Zissou87]

Even though we disagreed on almost everything, he was always someone that kept the forum busy. Rest easy KYfaninHVN

 

[SwaggyCal]

First post. Prayers.

I have absolutely NEVER heard that song played at a funeral. And I've been to a bunch of them. That's really odd IMO.

 

[Smashcat]

He didn't watch the games after
a certain point last season but was going to watch this season, I wish he had gotten the
chance to do so.

Was he encouraged by the 2022 class Cal was putting together with #1 Sharpe?

Ok, cool.

Memory Eternal @KyFaninNC

Yes, he hoped last season was a wake up call for Cal, he thought this season might
be a fun one. On Wednesday (two weeks ago) he ask for his cell phone(last day he was communicating) I'm pretty sure it was to check the board and see my last text to him) He was ready for a new season.

 

[TankedCat]

hate to read that, we've had alot of exchanges over the years.

 

[nickhorvathsuxazz]

RIP KyfaninNC...always seemed like he was a standup guy.

Ditto...who the hell plays another one bites the dust at a funeral? I'm calling bullspit...

Very sad news. Realism loses an ally.

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

Condolences, man. That's horrible news.

 

[cathouse]

So sorry to hear this. Prayers for the family, you and all his friends. He will be greatly missed on this board, especially by me.

We seemed to have a lot of things in common. RIP friend, and tell Adolph and Cawood hello from all of us old Cat fans.

 

[Mike-D]

@KyFaninNC should be moved into the HOF on here. We need one. Rest in peace.

 

[stuway]

Indeed sad news, he will be missed here. Thoughts and prayers to Doc and his family

Prayers for his family and friends.

 

[Montana81]

That’s terrible news. i’m very sorry.

I recognized that name and remember his posts well. I really enjoyed getting to talk to him on here. He was the definition of a regular here and embodied what it meant to be part of Big Blue Nation.

May he rest in peace.
