I bring very sad news

[Castor Troy]

Magnus always had such a positive outlook on life and the determination to beat his cancer. I didn't know him that well personally, but I was inspired by his will to live and I would have loved to hang out with him at a con.

He went down fighting and we will always remember his legacy.

Another one of us falls. Knowing that it would be coming doesn't really help though. I will miss his work and his pictures that had a way to brighten up my day.

He will be missed.

Ouch. Just ouch. Zetzu was an editor after my own heart. I was especially found of his simple, romantic videos like his Bokura ga Ita video, Our Farewell, which I am playing in memorial now...

Here's to you, dude.

[Kristyrat]

I can't say I spoke with Magnus often, but whenever he did, I was astounded by how generous and easygoing he was. It's very clear that he touched the lives of many people, and it's an honour to call him a friend.

His outlook was nothing short of inspiring, and I wish that I could claim to have even a fraction of his courage and strength.

He will be dearly missed.

Today on Facebook, a friend of Magnus', Cory Steen posted this, with the following caption.

Something i drew for Magnus Kylliäinen for our art shop we were gonna start, i'll never know if he got to see it or not, i think i was a few days too late,. so i figured, i have to share it with as many people as i can for him. Thank you, Magnus love, Cory Steen

Wow! right after his interview! (probably days after since Code is such an infamous procrastinator putting things together and all!! j/k) Sorry my mind tends to wonder when faced with tragedy, it's a defense mechanism. I'm just 'stoked' that he got his interview in, a fighter to the end! A sad, sad day indeed and I'll shutup now. Condolences to his family and friends!

He was someone I wanted to get to know. He was an amazing editor and seemed like a great guy, he will be missed.

I never talked to Magnus until just a few days ago, but it's great that I got to talk to him. He was a great guy who took what he was dealt as best as he could. It's a shame that a guy with so much talent and drive died so young.

I'll have a drink to his memory.

[Centurione]

I didn't get to know him but as I read what he wrote, I admired him for his unbelievably amazing courage. I hope he is happy.
I can't find any more words.

Remember the first time we spoke, you thought i had some potential in my editing while i did those horrifying naruto amv's back in 05.
Showed me some really cool tricks and asked me to join your awesome new studio called cup of ramen studios. I gladly accepted.

Half a year later you introduced me to an awesome editor called Niwa, we had such blast the three of us, laughing in ventrilo, doing those crazy ic's, i learned so much from you just by listening and watching. That winter in 06 when you came to my place and had niwa with you was so much fun, remember when you pranked us while we were sleeping, or the thing with Niwa's coffé haha!

We became better friends, better editors and more mature! (Not me, but you) We started the studio Digital Flow and met some wonderfull people under those years(Blabbler, Nunchuck, Kyo and so fourth) I would have never continued to edit if it wassn't for you! You will be missed as a brother, an artist and most of all as a friend.

This was shot ten days ago, he was so happy to go to the states to meet allot of you guys here on the org, we talked about it so much and i was so jelous! I know he loved all of really much and i know when i say this, We love you Zetzu4Real!
