The Dogecoin community faces a sad day as one of their own, carlishio2, took his own life after a long battle with depression.
Carlishio2, whose real name was Carlos, was best known in the Dogecoin community for creating the Dogecoinball comics which were popular on the Dogecoin subreddit, /r/dogecoin.
Remember Carlos
The Dogecoin community has rallied to honour Carlos. The banner on /r/dogecoin has been updated to include a picture of Dogecoinball with a tear in its eye in Carlos’ memory.
The user who arranged for Josh Wise’s sponsorship with the Dogecar reminded the community that the Dogecar will race at least once more, on October 19th 2014. And to honour Carlos, a Dogecoinball decal will be added.
But the most impressive example of support comes from the Remember Carlos project.
“We (his friends) have decided we want to do something in his memory,” the site reads. “We want to raise money for awareness of mental health, and to provide much needed funds to the organizations that support people going through a difficult time. We’ve settled on the charity Mind, the largest independent mental health NGO in the world.”
So far the Remember Carlos project has raised an enormous amount of funds. At the time of this writing, they hold 41.77 BTC, 102 LTC, and 53,971,417.99 DOGE.
