He's gone. Died last night. His bro and friends were commenting on his death, so I take it as being confirmed. :(

aw man. met him once. he was a nice guy.

RIP bud.

looked like he was playing portal on steam this morning.

Shit, that's heavy if real. Never met the guy (As far as I'm aware...it's plausible I'm wrong) and pretty much only know him through here, but still...all kinds of shitty.

Oh, and inb4 trolling buttdarts.

Is this the first RTTP poster who's ever died?

Never met the chap, but played online games with him a lot. Trolled with him a few times too. He was a good kid.

His buddy plays on the account too.

i met him once at a DYA house party. wtf happened?

I've only met him once briefly, but he seemed nice- wha happened?

Dont know. We all knew his bad habits. I hope he comes in here and posts "hai guys" but I don't think that'll happen :(

Wow. I jammed with him once, just didn't work out. I know he had some problems with heroin/painkillers, assuming that is what did him in.

Shame, he was just a young dude, early 20s I think. RIP.

i believe so... but he'll probably also be the first to troll from beyond the grave.

in fact i'm just gonna assume this is an elaborate trolling hoax until i see an obituary.

I'm not sure on all the details right now, I'm his close buddy Eric. live in Fitchburg. and this was all found out just this morning. no details yet really. It's bizarre man, because he was up at my house last night hanging out and seemed great.

For the record, anyone that trolls in this thread is a prick.

Douchebag patrol killed him?

Seriously though. when I find an obituary I will post it on here for you. but His mom called me this morning. he was only 23

wtf.

RIP Garrett, you were a solid dude.

:( RIP, seemed like a nice kid.

RIP, he was a good dude...I know he did have his demons with drugs though

Didn't the drummer from FoB pass away earlier this year?? Not sure if he was a poster though.

Yes and nope.

I thought a poster from early on died in like '07 or '08 or something. I'm not sure about that.

This being RTTP, I remain slightly skeptical. If this is true, it sucks.

I'm sure plenty or passing users have died but after they went dark on this site. Makes me wonder if Chiodo was declared dead.

first thread he made: http://www.returntothepit.com/view.php?formid=56926

check his fb homie

Such a bumout. Poor guy.

https://www.facebook.com/garret.cormier

He was even younger than me, what the fuck!

That just makes this news shittier.

Way too early for just a wicked nice guy. That's a bummer.

someone dedicate a show in his honor, plz?

ya thats so bizarre. all this time i thought he was older than me.

oh my. maybe it wasn't a troll.

it's not..

did he play in any bands? i have no idea if i ever met him.

I think a benefit gig to help the family out with his final expenses would be a cool gesture. Not sure if I had met him (10 or so years here and I'm still matching screen names to faces) but I appreciated his posts here. RTTP philanthropy... who'd-a-thunk?

No bands I think. Jammed with a few.
Just last week he mentioned how SkinSandwich almost died, too.

the fact that SkinSandwich is still alive is nothing short of a miracle.

No bands, but I first met him at the Leftovers Fest Tom booked a few years back at Oasis, so you may have ran into him there.

Wow, not sure what to say other than that this sucks. Never got to actually meet him face to face either, was hoping to eventually. Rip dude

ya thats the only time i met him too.

Last time I saw Garrett, he was trying to get my stupid ass to pick a fight with Umass kids in a lowell basement then proceeded to throw beer at me when we played. Good guy.

drugs are a helluva drug

Played a little League of Legends with him... That fucking blows, man.

Holy shit....

awe shit. DIdn't know the guy, though I know his problems through this forum. Sucks. Fuck hard drugs

Heeeeeeerrrrrooooiiin.... Its my wife. And its my life. RIP

Fuck.

RIP

Never met him IRL but he was always a good presence on rttp and a fellow wrestling fan. I like Ryan's idea up thread.

Don't know this dude but my condolences to whoever knew and gave a shit about him. Sucks.

damn :< gg rip

I still can't believe this dude is gone. Who the fuck is going to play TFC with me now?

i would but my netzero account was hacked

I suppose I'm jumping the gun here but I think I remember a post by him talking about getting clean. It's really fucking sad to see him pass so soon after that. I'm only assuming, but I do this knowing far too many people who had "the flu", as we call it, end up in a box either underground or surrounded by bars. RIP dude...

yea... I was reading that thread last night. I bumped it when I heard he relapsed and had an eeire statement to him:

live every day like it's your last.

Seriously though, can someone dedicate a show in his honor?

we would do it if we had anyshows planned soon. but ya someone get on that.

if the 16th happens, probably

I came across this page while trying to find out what happened to Garret. I went to school with him years ago. Was never a friend of his but I appreciated his sense of humor and his skill with the drums. I'm saddened by the demons he was faced with but now at least he'll be at peace.

Heres the link to the obituary if u wanted to pay your respects...

http://m.legacy.com/obituaries/lowellsun/o...px?n=garret-p-cormier&pid=154841229

Obituary looks photoshopped.

It's off the Lowell Sun's site. They don't like to get too fancy.
It's the same site I used when a good friend of mine passed a few years ago and it looks just about the same then too.
Just trying to help..

Thanks for posting.
Question is: howd you find this site?

lmgtfy

i didn't know he was a drummer. too soon too soon.

Found the site when I was trying to google some news article or something... thought maybe he had a car accident or something. I didnt know about his past demons.
I was surprised to find this page, and when the Obituary finally came up I thought of you folks and figured I'd see if I'd be able to share it with you since you were close with him.

Thank you for doing so.

So... Benefit show...

Anyone know of a venue we could get that wouldn't charge a house fee? A weekend would be best, obviously. I'm thinkin late January/early February. I could get Cherry St but I don't think that would be very practical.

What bands are down? Nightbitch will do it.

Oasis in worcester for sure.

I second the Worcester idea. Either there or Lowell...either would make it easy for his friends / loved ones to come out.

Life is far too short to not make the best of every fucking day. Get the fuck off the computer and do something with yourselves, fappers.

And rest easy Garret, it gets better from here on out, i'm certain..

new slag is angry. OLD SLAG COME BACK

New SLAG now with 100% more NOT GIVING A FUCK

I am out of fucks to give. GIVE ME A FUCK

­Give it five years and I'll be around just as angry but relabeled, and you'll love me again

so this is Eric again, Today was the memorial It was very sad, but full of great memories of my good friend Garret wasn't a fan of all the hymns and church shit. but it was great to hear family stories of him being goofy throughout the years. I'll have to stay updated with this benefit show. I would definitely be down to come out if I can find a ride. Might also be a memorial in the future with the rock band from my town Pepperell, Bullet. it was the band Garret was first drumming for. very AC/DC-ish.

i just secured a date in january at Club Oasis in Worcester. it was the first and only time i met the kid and i'm gonna try my hardest to put together a good benefit show in his honor. more information soon. let me know if you want to get that band Bullet ur talking about on it.

tgretschel@gmail.com

What's the date, Tom?

Insufferable Ingrate would be down to play this shindig.

Sat Jan 21st. Not set in stone but seemed like a good date. Can haz nightbitch?

inb4 elaborate IRL trolling scheme from beyond the grave

This will be a show to benefit the further advancement of the Ghost Troll Society

RIP reimroc.

I just need to doublecheck with Promiscuous Christopher to make sure one of his five other bands isn't booked that day, but it should be good.

Tom, keep us in mind, please.

certainly. i might have this booked before the weekend is over haha

awesome. keep me posted.

Looks like we might not be good for the 21st. Let you know shortly.

let me know what dates you can do and i'll try to find something that works.

K. Should have word tomorrow if the 21st is good or I'll give you dates that do. Thanks, Tom.

right on!

For skin

heh heh heh

Foreskin

Heh heh heh

Yea so reimroc's been on steam the past few weeks playing left4dead and shit. Either it's a zombie reimroc playing from a laptop in his grave, or his friend still uses his account.

found him

lolol

llol

hahah, i haven't found that yet

ATTN: undead reimroc

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE and play some Diablo III co-op with us

ITT: reimroc only plays necromancer

Too soon?

RIP Buddy, just about 1 year...

I just laughed at my own comment again haha. God I suck.

Crazy this really happened.

Yea, he would usually camp grate as a solly. He was accurate with his rockets but one good conc in his face and I'd whiz right by him. He was good, though, definitely.

Rip
