It’s with great sadness that I have to inform you of the passing of a member of our community. Last night while cycling to a friend’s house, IAM: Aloewishes (Fredrick Kobrick) was struck and killed in a senseless hit and run. All of us here at BME are saddened by the loss of Aloewishes and our thoughts are with the family and loved ones.

This makes me so sad. I didn’t know him whatsoever, but he is an artistic inspiration to me personally. Rest in piece, Kobrick.

That is fucking bullshit on so many levels! How many people have to die from drunk driving accidents before the laws are changed?? This guy had no insurance and a suspended licence! WTF!!!!! Such a sad, terrible loss.

So very sad, my thoughts are with his family and friends. I didn’t know Aloewishes, but I always admired his thoughtful posts and his beautiful pictures.

I had the pleasure of randomly meeting him in Chicago at a coffee shop I frequented a few months ago. We met for coffee the next day and talked for hours. I did not know him too well, but the stories he had to share and his personal point of view was very interesting. He seemed like a kind fellow. It was shocking to see this.

It really makes me so sad to read this. I hate the fact that we even have to have a “deceased IAM members” tool to mark IAM pages as deceased. 🙁

my thoughts are with his friends and family at this sad time, may he Rest In Peace. drink drivers have long infuriated me more than words can express.
we are losing far too many members of our community recently 🙁

The lack of respect for both basic road safety (not driving drunk) and for alternative forms of transportation in this country is overwhelming. As someone who has lost several people to similar things, this story really struck home.
Rest in peace.
