TheSonomaDude
08.22.21 | You can get through this brother. It isn't much but I threw some bucks your way. My mother had stage 3 but came back and now a decade later lives a normal life and still works as an elementary school teacher. You can always talk to me man |
Funeralopolis
08.22.21 | Thanks for the support guys. Unfortunately I'm at a point where my death is inevitable. I go to the top cancer hospital in the country, Princess Margaret and have tried so many aggressive treatments. Ive been through surgery, after procedure, I'm tired.
I really want this pain to stop. I recently had a big scare where they thought I could for real die. It made me reprioritize what is important to me. I want to make my final moments impactful and happy.

08.22.21 | Man, I hear lung cancer is the worst. I hope you can live the best you can despite the immense pain you're in. I'm so sorry it had to happen to you and you live the longest you can manage. We're rooting for you. |

Storm In A Teacup
08.22.21 | m/ hope a miracle happens for you sput legend. My father in law had a miracle as well. If you can maybe you could take that money to Mayo clinic and they do everything free if you sign the papers that you dont want to pay for anything. All you have to do is afford to stay there in hotel when not staying at hospital |
evilford
08.22.21 | This makes me rly sad man. You've been a damn cool user on here for a long time, the whole time I've been here I think (since 2012). I know it's "just a music website" but it's been a huge part of my life for almost a decade and seeing funeralopolis in threads always makes me happy.. I'm sorry you are going thru this man.
I have faith that your best days are ahead of you now and you will live in happiness and peace for the remainder of your life. |
Gyromania
08.22.21 | Holy shit.. This is so surreal, I feel like you've been on sputnik for so long. I'm in a huge financial bind rn and have been for years tbh but I'm going to try to get you $10 or $20 to help out. So sorry to hear you're going through this. |
Archelirion
08.22.21 | Jesus dude. The shittest things always happen to the folks that really don't deserve it. Sent you some funds; it ain't much but if it alleviates even the tiniest burden it'll be worthwhile. Life can be evil but it can also be beautiful - I hope you can get some of the latter soon. |
AlexKzillion
08.22.21 | Hope everything turns out all right man |
Eakflanderyof
08.22.21 | Fuck man, this makes me sad. I can't imagine what you're going through but I hope you enjoy the rest of your days to the fullest my dude. I gave as much as I could manage but I'm a broke ass touring musician |

EvoHavok
08.22.21 | This is extremely saddening. I don't even really know what's right to say... Your username is one of those that I can recall noticing from my early days on the site. I hope you'll find the happiness you deserve and make the best out of this terrible situation. |

08.23.21 | This tears me up so bad man. This may not seem like much but my band enters the studio next week and I rewrote the lyrics of a song in tribute. I just cannot stop thinking about you fr. I’ve seen miracles happen so I still wish you the best of recoveries. |
MyNameIsPencil
08.23.21 | I donated $20, I know it's not much but if I could donate more I would.

Funeralopolis
08.23.21 | Thanks for your support. If cancer has taught me anything it's not to take life for granted. So many of the things I prioritized in life, like making more money and advancing in my career mean nothing. I feel like learning about yourself and what makes you truly happy is key.

Aberf
08.23.21 | Pitched in something for you. I hope you find your peace man, whether it's sooner or later.
There's something about being aware of 'death' that does something to you. It makes all of the problems that I had to be seemingly insignificant.
I'll include you in my prayer man. Don't lose hope yet! |
ghostalgeist
08.23.21 | don't lose hope yet [2]

MrSirLordGentleman
11.06.21 | Really sorry to hear about this bro. Literally all of my grandparents and both my parents had cancer so that shit's been lurking around me all of my life. Spent years of my childhood in hospital's waiting rooms. It's such a scary and horrible disease that I won't ever wish to anybody.
My mom had stage 4 breast cancer yet somehow she managed to pull through and that disgusting thing has stayed away from her for twenty years now, thanks to god. I know you may be tired of hearing it but trust me, don't lose hope.
I'll be praying for you and I wish nothing but the best for you, your family and your friends. I'll donate once I get home in a few hours.
You are strong man, stay like that 'til the end |
Funeralopolis
11.06.21 | Thanks for the kind words, I'm honestly not doing that great lately. I moved back in with my parents recently, and I am setup in the kitchen because I can't traverse stairs. I can't walk - or when I do I get excruicating pain that lasts for 2+ days, and am at huge risk of breathlessness attacks.
I am essentially bed-ridden, I don't get out of bed most days. I require an oxygen machine to breathe. I have horrible pain all over, especially in my right leg, I'm confident my new medical team can get my pain under control and maybe I can enjoy some simple pleasures like going outside, around the block in a wheelchair.
I try to cling onto the hope they can make my pain better because right now I have no reason to live. I can't get out of bed, I can't do anything. I regularly take what I describe as 'breathlesness' attacks when I try to do physical action like even sitting up in my bed. I suddenly suffocate like I am drowning in the middle of my kitchen. It's extremely scary and sends me into panic attacks, it feels like I am going to die. At least I have medication to help manage the anxiety of it. |
Titan
11.06.21 | We all love you Brandon |
evilford
11.06.21 | This is really heartbreaking to read.
I dont know what I can say to this. I am hoping with everything that they get your pain under control and you can enjoy some things again. Im so sorry you are going through this man.
We all love you [2] |
Teal
11.06.21 | We are all thinking of you, pulling for you, and all wish we could take a portion of the heavy, heavy load you’re carrying right now. Thank you for being real and processing this experience with us, despite the fear and anxiety. Love you, man and we’re here to listen. |

Storm In A Teacup
11.26.21 | Happy Thanksgiving bro |
Funeralopolis
11.26.21 | Thanks bro m/
Just an update for anyone who cares: It has been hard the last while I've been in constant pain especially bad pain in my right leg from nerve damage. I'm on a pain pump now which is a tiny machine that constantly pumps painkiller into me. The pain is so bad sometimes I just lie there an cry. Only problem with the pump that it makes me so tired I was sleeping 15+ hours a day sometimes non-stop. I have started on riddlin to keep me awake and it's been very successful so far. I keep upping every day the amount on I'm on slowly to get closer to being back to normal. The pain pump keeps my pain under control and the riddlin helps keep me awake.
I've been outside a total of 4 times since August. I can't walk and haven't left my bed in at least 2+ weeks. I plan on this Saturday with the help of my mom and dad to try to go to the waterfront in a wheelchair. It is a popular walking trail in my home town. This Saturday I plan on going outside, it is scary for me because any time I do exertion I take breathlessness attacks and suffocate. It's a huge challenge I'm nervous about but I'm going to do it. I live where there is a lot of snow and my time to go out in a wheelchair is limited. |
Purpl3Spartan

MotokoKusanagi
11.26.21 | somehow haven't chatted with you much directly over my 12yrs here but this thread has been on my radar for a while. wanted to send you positive vibes and let you know you're in my thoughts and that my heart goes out to you brother. just sent something small your way on the gfm page but i hope to be back soon. good luck with the trip outside and i hope it can bring some joy. stay strong over the coming winter months and best wishes from a random sputter |

01.04.22 | I've seen Brandon's comments for as long as I can remember being on this site. Awful situation, gone way too soon. I just turned 27 myself recently. Saw this list now and was going to donate some $, but then I noticed the update. RIP |

01.05.22 | This made me cry. RIP. Never talked much directly but he always seemed like a great guy. Growing up I've watched my mom fight cancer 5 times, the first being when I was starting kindergarten and the last time she was diagnosed the night before I started my senior year of high school. That last time she had her breasts and ovaries removed. The rest of my family all seems to pass from it as well (my mother is still with me thankfully). Anytime I hear of someone struggling with it the shit truly hits home and I absolutely hate that it exists and somehow always seems to hit the best people in my experience.
Sad to see you go Brandon. Love and godspeed! I'm glad you're no longer experiencing the pain that you mentioned in this thread and I hope that you crammed as much goodness as you possibly could given the situation in your final days |

01.05.22 | Damn, this is rough.
I remember when YouAreMySilence passed the response was quite like this.

04.12.22 | shit man :(((((( rip |
robertsona
04.12.22 | it can be hard to really actually genuinely feel lucky and blessed for all the things you've been given and all the bad things avoided but I do now. unimaginably moving. how did he do it? "humbling" is a word that's deployed in a confusing/contradictory context so often but it is truly humbling to think I crossed even internet-paths with him |
anarchistfish
04.12.22 | I know what you mean |
robertsona
04.12.22 | was major-key scared when this list got bumped but thank you for sharing |

04.12.22 | this was a class guy. so sad to know he's gone, but so glad to know he could go out on his own terms. that article made me cry |
anarchistfish
04.12.22 | This was the message from his Dad
"Brandon passed away on January 3 2022. But he left behind a legacy project he had been working on with the UHN in Toronto. Here is his story. We are very proud of him." |
brainmelter
04.12.22 | what a guy. Rest In Peace Brandon |

08.30.22 | revisiting this thread and that article about Brandon just about made me cry, RIP to a great person and please enjoy everyday one moment at a time while you can |
BMDrummer
08.30.22 | seeing how supportive and positive everyone is in this thread is honestly beautiful beyond words |
kevbogz
08.30.22 | god tier human and sputter. thanks for the bump and reminder |
Koris
08.30.22 | I've actually been considering creating an In Memoriam list for the Sput users we've lost over the years, so there can be one centralized place to pay respects. Maybe I should still do that |
kevbogz
08.30.22 | i think that's a phenomenal idea. sorta like a sput hall of fame i guess |
Koris
08.30.22 | For sure. There are only two other users I can think of in this regard - Papa Universe and Paradox - but considering how old this site is, I'm certain there are others as well |
Uzumaki
08.30.22 | Please do, Koris. I get sad every time this gets bumped, but I always see the centralized outpouring of kindhearted words and memories here, and I have to smile. |

08.30.22 | RIP Brandon aka Funeralopolis. One of the real ones |

08.30.22 | god damn it, i forgot about pops. right in my feels

Uzumaki
08.30.22 | somebody above brought up another user who's name was/is YouAreMySilence, or something along those lines.
"... forgot about pops. right in my feels."

SharkTooth
08.30.22 | there was a user from way back who committed suicide, his girlfriend made a list breaking the news and saying how much he dearly loved the community
I wish I could remember his username but it was a time before I joined |
robertsona
08.30.22 | that article about Brandon rips me apart to even think of it
"I know so much more about myself now than I did before my diagnosis, and no matter what cancer has taken away from me, I'm proud of who I am."
man
gotta get on that level. strive for what's going on with the kind of person who says that

auberginedreams
07.23.23 | Wow I haven’t been on here as much the last few years, I just found out about TheSpirit and now this. I can’t think of anything more terrifying than knowing you’re going to die soon and just waiting for the end. And I know he had OCD as well which is something I’ve also battled my whole life. My problems seem so insignificant when I see something like this. Rest in peace. |

07.23.23 | I also remember the girl posting about her bf passing but yeah I can’t remember his name either. |
