His wife posted the news on his Facebook a little earlier this morning. I know that he will be missed by many on here, especially the foodies.
FMB was one of the first people to really welcome me on here when I first joined and started posting regularly. I never met him in person, but he was one great guy and a fellow grammar Nazi. :-)
I'm sure his wife would appreciate any thoughts or prayers.
RIP, Fire Me Boy!
PART OF OBITUARY THAT LEAVES OUT PEOPLE'S NAMES AND CHANGES HIS TO FMB:
FMB, 41, died suddenly Monday morning, March 2, 2020, at his home of an apparent heart attack. [PERSONAL INFO]
[EARLIER EDUCATION] He attended then-Central Methodist College before transferring to then-Central Missouri State University, where he received his bachelor’s degree in broadcast and film, with a minor in vocal music.
[WORK HISTORY] He continued to work there until becoming disabled last summer.
He was a Kansas City Chief’s fan when it wasn’t popular and from his home helped cheer the Chiefs to their first Superbowl win in his lifetime. He was a foodie often seen on Chief’s Planet. FMB also was a photographer.[LIST WIFE OF 17 YEARS AND OTHER SURVIVORS]

There's no known cure for reversing the effects of Diabetes Type I and unfortunately, most sufferers die at an early age but usually not before having body parts amputated, as did FMB.
Mikey12345 had Type I Diabetes and after multiple amputations, died as well.
i had a conversation with him a few years back. i was trying to be funny. said some really cold hearted bullshit. once i had a clearer head, i reached out and apologized.
he accepted me for being a dipshit.
will miss his food posts, he was a great dude.
rest in peace.
thank you for letting us know, luv. [Reply]
Honestly, at first, I didn't want to be the one to post something. I messaged DaFace. Ultimately, though, I just decided that I owed it to him, since he was one of the first people on here to be totally cool with me.
Of course, he kept me in line by using his pimp hand. :-) I've been looking all morning to see if I could find the same one, but I haven't. Searching on here only brings up the latest 500 posts/threads by people, and that doesn't take me far enough back to look. [Reply]
Man, terrible news. I never really knew the guy other than to follow his cooking threads. His dip into sous vide was one of the more interesting things I've read on here.
