My heart just sank. Outstanding maggot and person from what I knew of him. So sad to hear this. Sincerest condolences to his loved ones. Hope you are sinking them deep for eternity bud...

Seemed like a solid dude. Sorry for your loss.

**Section ThirtyOne** · 12-14-2014, 09:11 PM

Sorry to hear this news, Gripen always seemed like a quality dude. Never met him in person but traded a few messages back and forth in some of the Canadian Rockies threads.

RIP.

I can't imagine, Viggen. I hope that the end was peaceful, he will not be forgotten here.

Quoted for truth.

Man, sorry to hear of your loss. I always loved the stoke he added to TGR, the world needs more like him.

**Shorty_J** · 12-14-2014, 09:32 PM

I will also do everything in my power to be there.

I barely knew the guy but I can't stop crying right now!

Fuck cancer... fuck it hard.

Gripen was a wonderful guy. We met him while on a giant Interior BC road trip. He met us in White Fish and then opened his house up to us in Golden. Not only that, but he showed us all around Kicking Horse. We met many mags on that trip and all were wonderful. But, Gripen made the trip even better. He was a truly genuine person. All of the mags will feel his loss whether they knew him or not, as he was a valuable part of this community. Ethan will truly be missed.

**abraham** · 12-14-2014, 10:11 PM

RIP, it's was hard to read the more recent updates. Never met him, but he seemed like a good guy and that shows by the support and comments here.
Take care of your family and yourself Viggen, my thoughts will be with you.

**The Gnarwhale** · 12-14-2014, 10:45 PM

Oh no, so sorry to hear. Condolences to Grip's family, friends and the Golden community

**goldenshowers** · 12-15-2014, 07:33 AM

RIP. It's never good when they go too young!!! Ski in peace.

**WaistDeepGroomers** · 12-15-2014, 08:26 AM

RIP Gripen, thanks for your stoke and inspiration in the sprocket rockets and for sharing your amazing attitude with us. You will be missed.
