EDITOR'S UPDATE: This sad article was posted last night by a friend of Rice. We took it down until we had confirmed that it was true. Farewell friend. God bless you and your family.
As many of you know he was in a car wreck a month ago, and while he was recovering, he died this afternoon of a heart attack that was related to his accident. The doctors say that the wreck and stress of him losing his job was too much for his heart to bear.
I have known him for a long time, he was an aspiring writer by the name of Ric Gibson. He enjoyed this site and I know he would want the people he considered his friends to know about his fate. I am no writer, but I am trying my best to express my sense of loss for my friend.
He was a writer at heart, he had a passion and flare for fan stories. He wrote nearly fifteen fan fiction stories for this site, as well as numerous fan casts. He was the greatest user we had, I hope he will be remembered by all of you, I know I will never forget him.
I met Ric several years ago in college, we were roommates, he was practically a brother to me. He deserves a better tribute than this, but it is all I can give him. He would want you to know.
He spoke very highly of you, and said in the event of something like this that he would like for his friends to continue his stories so that his love of comics could be shown to all!
Below are links to his fansites where you can read his fan fiction contributions to comicbookmovie.com
