I first met Josip online years ago and we soon became friends despite living very far apart from each other. Us and a couple of other online friends used to spend a lot of time talking and playing video games together via skype and then on discord. I considered Josip a close friend even though we never met face to face. Eventually we stopped spending as much time together due to adulthood bringing new responsibilities and time constrictions along with itself but the friendship remained.

Josip suddenly passing away came as a total shock to me. The thought of him being gone all of a sudden had never crossed my mind and it's horrible to realize that I may never hear his voice again. Josip was always such an intelligent and warm a person and I'm never going to forget him nor the time we spent together.

I miss you Josip, I was missing you before I heard the news.

We first spoke to each other online in the latter half of 2013; I cant believe we stayed friends for all those years. You, like I went online in search of other people like yourself, and we all formed a digital friendship group, a digital campfire to sit around and find respite. I treasure all the memories, the laughs, the stupid stuff we got up to messing around online and in video games, and most of all the sincere conversations we had during those long group chats.

When I last spoke to you in November 2019 you were in a very vulnerable place, I wish I was closer to you so that I could have helped you out more in person. I know what it feels like to lose loved ones, and I wanted to show you that there was light at the end of the tunnel. I'm honoured that I got the privilege of being a close friend of yours, and I'm pleased I got to tell you how I considered you to be a close friend. Even though we had never met face to face in all these years, I'd have greeted you with a smile and a hug.

I left you a message in Late February letting you know that I wished you all the best, and it still hurts to read. I was expecting you to show up online again after all these months, we all were; and we'd be able to catch up and laugh at the world like old times.

You were a very intelligent and funny guy. I trusted your observations on many things. Your laugh, and your sense of humour will still live on in me, and the others.

Goodbye man, It was great to know you.
