For anyone curious, i found a comment from smokey on a game forum stating he’s going off to the hospital for a back surgery in a week, a week before he last came online.

I miss you.

Today marks a year since last sign of life for Smokey.
Thanks for everything, Jan. You were the best friend I could ever ask for and it's a shame it ended so suddenly.

I hope you're doing well

Stats to check to see if he's invisible (they'll change if he plays):
Warframe: 1780 hours, BTD6: 1752 hrs. Achievments: 6271
BTW: I just realized he now has his real name and real city list above.
If someone can follow up on that, please let me know.

> Hey Smokey are you ok?
I don't want to say too much (privacy) but I'm really concerned he may very very much not be.
Sorry to break the bad news. Hope I'm wrong.
Armagedon and whoever else: Friend me and ask and I'll say more but not everything.
I'd like to talk to his other friends.
