Biggiobrooks

[All In Cards]

Got this from Billy Packer last night on facebook

Andrew, I haven't been doing much on FCB for a while but since I think you're a moderator (or would know who is at this point), I thought I'd let you know that I'm pretty sure that Nick Aerts, the young man whose picture I shared a bit ago, was a pretty active member on the site. I think his user name is Biggiobrooks something or other. He's had a history of some pretty significant health issues over the years and had been in and out of the hospital recently. I don't know exactly what his condition was but he was apparently having pretty severe seizures. Whatever it was must have recurred and he succumbed earlier today. Thought I'd share in case you wanted to pass word along.

Oh no, what terrible news. He joined us when he was just a little kid. I had no idea he was suffering from a serious medical condition.

RIP little buddy.

Damn it 25? Absolutely awful. Prayers and thoughts with his family, I can't imagine their pain

So sad to hear this. God bless Nick @biggiobrooks.

Oh ****, I really am extremely sad right now. This is horrible news. I always liked Nick and loved his passion for collecting his two players. He loved the .50 card as much as the $50 card. My thoughts are with him and his family and man I wish this wasn't true.

Horrible news. FCB could use more of the passion Nick had.

Wow. Just wow. Extremely sad news he seemed like a really, really nice guy...there were very few as passionate about their collections as he seemed to be. Anytime I looked in a thread where someone was showing off a recent pickup or story it seemed like he was always one of the first to complement

This sucks, he was a really good kid. He was the first person to work a deal with me on here, I was really looking forward to growing our Biggio collection together. Hope his family gets along as well as they can, tough time of year for this.

RIP Nick.

Wow. RIP [MENTION=8332]BiggioBrooks755[/MENTION].

Terrible news to hear. I'll remember Nick as a fellow 90's collector who most enjoyed player collecting, and the small cards as much as the big cards. We had very similar collecting philosophies, and I'll miss seeing his pickup posts.

RIP man, godspeed.

 

[swish54_99]

OMG, that's awful. So sorry to hear. I've never dealt with him, but he never caused any issues and was always helpful on the site.

 

[George_Calfas]

RIP
I will miss his pickup excitement.

Terrible news. Sorry to hear. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
